100% Satisfaction

I consider myself fortunately to have obtained James Perry to represent me as my attorney. Throughout a difficult case James displayed the utmost confidence and great professionalism. The defendants were found liable by the jury, forced to pay, and it was the best outcome for us. James has a relen...tless work ethic, strong negotiation skills, a great memory and brilliant mind. I will be forever grateful to have had such a reliable and trustworthy attorney. Thank you James!

JAMES GAWAIN PERRY

James and I became colleagues and fast friends when he transferred to the Pomona branch office of the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office more than five years ago. James and I shared an office and so I had the opportunity to interact with him on a daily basis. James is conscientious, smart a...nd a self-starter. Eventually, we worked together on two cold cases, murders, from the early 1990s. James was indispensable in organizing and preparing those files for their eventual evidentiary hearings. I am certain that James refines and polishes those skills with each new day of experience.

He’s typically the smartest lawyer in the room, dedicated to his clients, and an expert in the law and legal policy. In the courtroom, he’s astute and unwavering in his pursuit for success. ...James is a leader, winner, and an excellent attorney.
