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.

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.

Intelligent, Thorough, Passionate

I found myself in a dire family situation last year. Mr. Minton took my case head-on, and grasped the nuances of a vast array of family dynamics, in addition to becoming extremely well-versed in the very complicated medical issues surrounding my children. Additionally, my case presented a number of u...nique jurisdictional issues, which Mr. Minton and his firm handled with aplomb. Something that separates Perry Minton from other lawyers is that he genuinely cares about his clients. He remembers details of one's case that might go under the radar with another, less attentive attorney. He is highly respectful, compassionate, and he defends his clients fervently and intelligently. Mr. Minton has a likable personality and is intelligently aggressive when need be. It is clear that he is well liked and well respected by his colleagues and by the court. Perry Minton instilled confidence in me and in my situation during what was easily one of the darkest moments of my life. I cannot emphasize enough what an excellent advocate Perry Minton is. I was very pleased with the results of his work on my behalf and on behalf of my children. There are moments in the courtroom that I will always remember, as Mr. Minton did such an exemplary job of representing me in court. He is dedicated to defending his client. This is the attorney you want on your side.

Excellent, a real life saver!!

Perry and his team did an amazing job keeping me informed as to the aspects of my case, working hard to represent my interests and completely take the stress out of a very difficult DWI case in Austin, Texas. I cannot thank him enough and anytime I have friends or family in need, you better believe ...they get Perry's number from me. Thanks Perry!

A life Saver..........

Perry Minton has to be the hardest working attorney I have ever met in my life. As soon as I hired Perry we went from a complete standstill of over 3 years of time wasted, to fast moving with results around every bend. I never knew that our legal system was only as good as the Talent you hire. I was ...wrongly accused & charged with a crime that would have landed me in state prison for many years and I was absolutely getting no where with the counsel I retained. I contacted Perry Minton and he really took the reigns, he quickly learned all the details of my case and moved on it. Perry always had updates for me at all times and every step. He also provided me with the knowledge so I could understand what was involved with my case. I had been living in complete fear for almost 3 years prior to hiring Perry, I felt like my life was on a month to month lease, I had 38 court appearances and nothing with my previous attorney. Once I had Perry on my side the fear went away and I started to see hope in the Judicial system. The thing that gave me hope was the Passion that Perry exerted, and also the special care of helping me emotionally through this ordeal. The experience that Perry has if amazing, he grew up in and around the court system all of his life. After a short time I hired Perry, I found myself and my case dismissed. Perry is a good genuine person, he's part of my family now, he saved my family & my life. I thank him dearly.
