Highly recommended!

Mr. Perry is an outstanding attorney. I consulted with him on a preemptive real estate matter. He is skilled, knowledgeable, principled, diligent and a pleasure to work with. I am very thankful for his counsel and would highly recommend him.

Exceptional Attorney & Trial Lawyer

I have personally worked with James and observed him in trial. After these experiences, I was amazed. He is whip-smart, a fierce advocate and fearless. His work outside of trial is exceptional, he is relentless in his pursuit to win for his clients. I personally know opposing attorneys who share the ...same sentiments regarding James and his ability as an attorney. In trial, he is just outstanding. His preparation and advocacy skills are unmatched. If you happen to have the privilege to have him represent you, you will not be let down. He maintains a high ethical standard but is a fierce advocate. Not many attorneys, in fact, very few attorneys are as well rounded and polished as James.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
