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.

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.

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.
