Don’t settle for less

When up charged with a burglary of a habitation, felony 2, I turned to Perry Minton for legal counsel. He was very quick to obtain the charge info and officer notes and immediately shared his thoughts on how to facilitate the best defense for me. He was very transparent that dismissal was the stret...ch goal and that it would take significant work and many pieces would be required to align to make this happen. From our first meeting I knew he was professional, persistent, deliberate, genuine and knowledgeable of the law and also the DAs office as he had worked hard to build a strong working relationship so that he could better support his clients. Perry’s ability to know the pulse of a case including defendants, lawyers and judges helped with setting up a face to face with the victims, per DA approval, which eventually lead to a dismissal. I cannot thank him and his office enough for the support they provided me as well as my family and would highly recommend Perry for all criminal matters if you want to best shot at beating your case as he did for me. His worth and value he provides for his clients is far greater than the cost of his services.

Blessed to have had Perry on my case!

I was referred to Perry Minton and his team by a close friend. Our Family Custody Jury Trail was very complex and sensitive. We fought long and hard for our move case outcome and we won. All jurors agreed with our side and Perry couldn't have done a better job than to show the jurors the truth. H...e not only was my attorney but very quickly became a dear friend who not only cared for my best interest but the best interest in my son. He truly fights fair, no matter how crooked the other side gets. His heart and soul shows up in the court room each and every time and his staff operates in the same fashion. Very lucky to have an amazing attorney on my side.

Great man and an exceptional lawyer

After talking to many different lawyers I met with attorney Perry Minton who was recommended to me by someone who has done his homework before retaining him for his own case. Mr.Minton took the time to listen to my case and immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. He and his legal staff w...ere diligent in organizing all the information and facts and in submitting all of the documents on time. Mr.Minton’s professionalism, knowledge and dedication were most appreciated. He and his team always had the best interest in mind. It is amazing to have a lawyer who is compassionate who listens when necessary and takes actions as needed. Mr.Minton was able to find a lot of details during the discovery process. He was an expert in cross examination and made his presence known in the court room. The divorce process took two years which resulted in a jury trial. Mr.Minton and his team was always there through this time and yes of course we won. If you are looking for an attorney that will treat you right, know the law and will go above and beyond, then Mr.Minton is the person to go to.

Best Attorney in the US

Perry Minton is the best attorney around! He has the best team and hires the best people to work on every aspect of your case. Perry also has the best reputation not only in Austin, but in the state of Texas. I was indicted on intoxication manslaughter and failure to stop and render aide. We were for...ced to take my case to trial and Perry went above and beyond with everything. The team he hired was top notch and exceeded everything. He helped the jury to see who I really was and that this was a complete accident. I was found not guilty on both charges. I was facing up to 40 years in prison. He truly is an amazing attorney and just an amazing person in general that really cares about you. You will be in THE BEST hands with Perry.

Perry's A Good Man

Mr. Minton and I met over 18 mos ago. Out of the gate I believed he had the "can do" spirit, ethics and attitude to lead me through the sometimes fist to cuffed challenges of defending a client through a complex world called the Texas Judicial System. That system has an important job to do, no dou...bt. Thats why it's a must to hire a man who will crawl in the fighting hole with you. Perry is that man. He promised me a fight and he, hands down no question fought to protect my rights and God willing we were able to protect them. Few cases are cut and dry. He and his team are not afraid to dig in. Their not afraid of much of anything from what I saw. I haven't felt like another guy was dug in the trenches with me and had my back who I had only just met in many years. The decision of who would represent me wasn't immediate... I met with a few before Perry. That said, after meeting Perry, I'd say my decision was made in +\- 5 MINUTES or so. I believed he was legit, we spoke the "same language". I knew I was willing to make the decision to let him take the wheel. My gut was right because he worked like hell to save me, my name and my rights. I never saw doubt in his eyes; he was always ready to get some. He's professional, straight forward, believes in his craft and works incredibly well with whomever he comes in contact with on both sides of the table. If you need an attorney at law, do not sell yourself short. I believe you too will rest easy with Perry and his educated and talented team, especially Mary. She is solid. Hire him and shoot the man straight so he can take care of your matter. He's my friend, not because of the outcome but because he kept his word to me all along and kept me in check.
