I want to say thank you John!

The Law Office of John H. Perrott in San Jose, helped me with A divorce case in recent weeks after I changed two lawyers, and he has gotten my case resolved quickly with a good outcome. I want to say his professionalism, determination, courage made this happen! I feel very comfortable with him and ...his employees! During court time, I saw his analytical skills and hard work thus my case went to court. After three weeks, it got resolved. I would say it is done very quickly! I appreciate your effort that you didn't give up on me and my case that you arranged mediation, discussion and negotiation to solve the matter quickly & effectively when it entered the court, even though we have to go to court once, but that's the final stage! The next day it's complete! What a relief! I would not hesitate to recommend you and your firm to anyone in need of a sound lawyer. Thank you very much again.

Thank You isn't enough

John H Perrott gave his time to provide me the guidance I needed and has given me new hope. As a survivor of abuse, fraud and domestic violence, I was feeling despair and needed that "spark of energy" that will lead me to a better life. John H Perrott- You are Awesome.

Outstanding attorney, with great results

Knowledgeable, Carrying, Involved, Supportive and most of all he is there protect his clients' assets and wellbeing. Working with John for a long time in a very complicated divorce case. I could not have wished for a better attorney. John is a carrying professional involving himself deeply in the ca...se. Always supportive and he always responded to my questions promptly with options and solutions. John’s knowledge of family law has helped my case greatly, as they were multiple roadblocks, we needed to face and overcome throughout the years on my case. Great attention to detail and devoted to his client results. He is an outstanding attorney, with great results.

Intelligent & Sincere

I had a free consultation with John and only wish I have the money to retain him. I checked out a lot and he was far the best. He was extremely intelligent. It took him just seconds to figure out my spouse. He tries to understand my case, and gives me advise and support instead of being a sale pi...tch. Others are just trying to look into my assets. If my case deems crucial and that it's impossible to work out with my spouse, I don't have to look any further.

Winning with the BEST divorce lawyer

I never thought I'd be doing a review of a lawyer, but i realized the other day that John was the reason I'm back out and living my life again. John helped me through a messy matter I'd care not to discuss here, but I can say he was my strength through the whole ordeal. I figure the least i can do is... let others know how great he is. I did my attorney shopping and knew I found the right one with John. There wasn't a sales pitch, only concern for me and my future. I look back and think how different things would have been if i didn't, it's a scary thought. John has the experience and knowledge that made me feel very confident that in the end I would prevail. I'll leave out the gory details, but my case did go to court. It was a much different experience than i was expecting. I felt like a VIP at the court room. Everyone from the clerks to security greeted him as we walked in. I was so proud to have John defending me- he was in his element and he knew it. The other side would attack, John would counter, then they just stumble and fall apart. Wash, rinse and repeat a couple of times, and it was all over. The other side had no choice but to settled quickly, even more favorable to me than the one we originally went to court over. I would hire him again and again!!! FIVE STARS!!!
