I am a 57-year-old, disabled man. I was charged with two misdemeanors for having a loaded and concealed registered 9mm gun in my car in Los Angeles. The city attorney's recommended sentencing was 120 days in county jail. Mr. Perliss and his staff wrote an excellent mitigation package and was able to ...reduce my sentence to 120 days of home confinement, and will be filing a motion to reduce my home confinement time in half. Mr. Perliss and his staff were professional and available to speak and meet as needed. I recommend hiring him.

If you need someone who knows the system in LA County and can save you from the Fire's Den,Sanford Perliss is the criminal lawyer you need.  When I moved for the first time to LA County,  I had my first criminal case midsummer 2019 due to DUI allegations against my character. Sanford very methodical...ly took my case by following steps of presenting the real information against the police department accusations.  My BAC was above the limit and had allegations of causing DUI the accident. Nevertheless, Sanford took the real evidence in hand and negotiated with the DA and Judge so that I could regain back my peace. Being free on how the charges for sentence read within a police report is not a joke in the judicial system due that human lives are at stake of being sentenced. I really appreciate the work Sanford has done and not only is he an excellent attorney at law but he can teach you a thing or two if you are new to the LA County region justice departments.  If you have any questions or doubts about his expertise please feel free to reach out. One thing I would suggest, if you are new to the legal system please do not rush things and think/analyze all the steps that can help you for the case by having Sanford's advice instead of trying to get it done so that you can get back to your normal life. I believe there is a reason for not rushing things and patience is a virtue. Lastly if any doubts still exist,  please review his book A Thousand Invisible Cords. Though it is an entertaining book to read and has many leads from when he started as a DA in LA County and changed to a defense lawyer; I can say if you want to know more about the system on how criminal or immigration law works within LA County this book would be beneficial for your case.

My encounter with Sanford Perliss is one of chance, luck, along with excellent representation. I found out that after 10-years an old DUI was still on my driving record and there was a warrant issued for my arrest. I found Sanford outside the courtroom and asked politely if he could offer some help i...n what my next steps should be. Not only did he walk me back to the court clerk to have my file pulled, but he walked out of the court, down the block to get to a fax machine, back to court, and stood in front of the judge, got the warrant dismissed, and took me on as a client. Never in my lifetime has anyone, let alone an attorney, dropped everything he was doing at that time and be so empathetic to my situation, kind enough to explain everything to me in a way that made me feel confident in his ability to represent me, and above all generous in giving his time to me, someone who walked upon him in the hallway looking for someone to help. I believe his words were, "you know people go to attorneys because they need help, and if I can help someone, I do." He took time to sit with me that day and explained what was to occur next, he kept me in the loop with what he felt was my best defense, and was always just a phone call or text message away. He not only won my case, but got the DUI dismissed with no jail time, no DUI classes, and I had to pay nothing to the court. If you are "shopping" around for an attorney, no need to look any farther than this review. He'll be my attorney for life. Thanks Perliss!

Sanford was helpful, knowledgeable and diligent with my case. With his help i was able to reduce my charges and I received a very favorable outcome. I was considering representing myself at first after seeing the benefits of having a lawyer and how it influenced the outcome of i my case i won’t consi...der that option again.
