Great Laywer

When the Feds locked me up last year on a 10 year minimum case, 3 different guys told me to “get Peruto”. Now I’m glad I did. After many motions and hearings, he got me 18 months without being a rat! Samuel collazo

*****STOP LOOK NO FURTHER****

When you need a lion, a wolf a person who only cares about proving the truth and has your back as he would his own son than look no further!!!!! We prevailed!!! He will fight in the court room with such fierce and intensity where every single person, especially the the people who matter “the jurors”,... attention is not swayed a bit. Every detail that matters was submitted and that matters. The best and still going strong!!!! *** HIRE HIM NOW*****

Go with the best

I was wrongfully accused of a serious felony and I immediately hired Mr. Peruto. From the start he had me confident that I would be okay. I never bothered him while waiting because I knew he was doing his thing. He told me from the start it was right up his alley and he knows everyone there is to kno...w. His presence in court was impressive and when he was in there it seemed like the other lawyers were eager to shake his hand. Even though I was in a stressful situation I enjoyed watching how he navigated the process with ease. They say a great lawyer makes all of the difference and that’s really the truth. It’s not something you play around with. If you want the best case scenario then you hire the best. That’s what I did and when the judge said “not guilty” I knew I made the right choice. Thanks Chuck!

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.
