About Perry

Biography

23 years focused on unlawful firings. We know the law TOO well. Weakness? Some opposing lawyers whine that we should be nicer as they create stories to cover for truly bad employers. No lie. They whine. (Eyeroll.)

Wrongful Termination 100%

A termination may be unlawful for any of a number of reasons, so our cases may be related to disability, age, pregnancy, race, whistleblowing, or etc. But they are still WT cases. That is what we do. And we do it well.

Knowledge, Professionalism & Excellence defined.

There are only a few times in recent memory that I can say that I've been lost for words. In trying to describe my experience with Perry Smith of Barritt/Smith, I fall short on what to say. In every single way, expectations where more than exceeded. From the moment I spoke with Perry, I knew that I h...ad the right Attorney working on my side. Not one shred of doubt entered my mind from that first phone call on. Perry took a world of stress away from the moment he answered my call for help. For me, that was priceless. It seems almost impossible for me to put into words my experience. Experience. Integrity. Professionalism. He really does define them all. And all the compliments in the world... fail to convey my heart-felt gratitude. Thank You Perry Smith... for helping me when I needed help the most.

Employment Labor Law

Mr. Smith is a passionate, competent attorney with outstanding abilities, his firm successfully represented me in a extremely complex case with a very difficult defendant. During the filing of motions and preparation for mediation Mr. Smith ensured that every angle was covered. It is rare to find an ...attorney that is as dedicated to each individual client as Perry. During every phase of my case I was confident that I was well represented and the result proved that to be the case. I received a six figure settlement without a single deposition being taken. I highly recommend Perry Smith and his firm without reservation.

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.
