I am careful with money, and lawyers are expensive. I brought Mr. Perriquey a seemingly complex set of documents for review. Lake took the time to make me understand his informed opinion. Mr. Perriguey took the time to understand my uninformed concerns. While Lake's efforts are painstaking, he is also efficient. In summary, Mr. Perriguey provides value far in excess of his fees.
Lake is truly the best attorney; he's priceless! Her took my case, uncharted legal precedent, and put hours of research and investigation hours into developing an irrefutable case for me. He was ALWAYS available to answer questions and provide guidance regardless of the time of day. Lake doesn't just litigate the issues, he truly is an Advocate for justice. I owe my life to him.
My husband and I found ourselves having to sue a family member over real estate. It was just awful for us. We had never needed an attorney before, so we didn't even know where to start! With a cold call I found Lake. Wow did we get lucky! Lake provided us with guidance and integrity throughout the process which was quite complicated. He explained the lawsuit process clearly to ensure that we understood how it all works. He filed all the documents through the court and corresponded with the opposing attorney in a timely manner. He also made himself available to me when I was feeling especially low, making me feel better. We were able to work out a deal that worked for both us and our relative. We are so grateful to Lake for getting us through this!
I hired Mr. Perriguey to assist my son and our family with a name and gender change for our son. The court system was not at all easy to navigate and wouldn't help me directly with what we wanted done. I reached out to Mr. Perriguey and heard back from him almost instantly. He was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. I felt as though he had our best interests at heart and I feel confident I couldn't have navigated this issue without him.
I was extremely lucky to have Lake representing me for the dissolution of a partnership (domestic) of 13.5 years. My partner and I were not married and I was unaware that I had any legal rights when we decided to split but after a consultation and subsequent hiring of Lake, I was able to leave the relationship with enough money and soundness of mind to feel good about moving on with my life. What more could I ask for? Lake's knowledge of the law and professional demeanor belie his affordable and fair fee structure. I highly recommend having Lake on your side!
Other lawyers said no. Other lawyers were fearful of taking me on as their client. Other lawyers didn't know what to do or how to do it in order for me to be victorious in court with a unique transgender civil rights issue. Lake believed in me. Lake didn't judge me. Lake didn't fear the size of the fight we were about to unleash. Lake not only made me world famous. Lake won my case, made history, and corrected an injustice done to me. For that I am forever grateful. Don't settle for less elsewhere.
Lake was thorough, thoughtful, and hardworking to get my MVA case settled. The claim was against my own car insurance company who abandoned me when I experienced a hit and run, and he fought to make sure my bills were paid and a settlement was reached. Lake was wonderful to work with and I would call him in a heartbeat if I needed his services again.
Litigation is *stressful*. You want someone with experience and someone who is one your side -- like Lake Perriguey. Lake is a thoughtful, powerful attorney. For the ladies, I say, don't be intimidated by his incredible height and deep voice! He's very kind with clients and asks good clarifying questions to get to the heart of the problem, and make it go away. Lake is the ally you want.
From beginning to end, Lake did a great job handling our case against the State of Oregon for marriage equality. We were the first plaintiffs in Oregon to decide to go the legal route rather than proceeding with a ballot measure. Lake was professional and easy to work with. He always made time for us and answered our questions when ever we had them. When he was unsure of the best course of action, he sought advice from others in his network. His work was thorough and thoughtful and he always had the end result in mind. His arguments were well formed and clearly articulated both in writing and verbally. In our situation, we had many encounters with the press and community groups. He provided us support and guidance as we proceeded with these difficult conversations and decisions. He was our advocate, always. And least we forget, we won!!
I was dealing with a civil case that had been going on for 11 months. I had two different attorneys and spent close to $7,000 and got nothing back. I asked my first attorney "Who's side are you on? Why did you take my case if you weren't willing to defend me." My second attorney wasn't much better. They both told me I would have to sell my house to pay a man that had abused me for 8 months. They also wanted me to ask the DA to dismiss his criminal case so I wouldn't have to give him thousands more. I felt they did not listen to me or do what I had asked, I didn't feel the trust you should have when a lawyer is defending you. They both told me if I went to court that the judge would probably make me give him half of all the equity in my house. I looked on line and found Lake. After our first appointment I knew he was going to take charge and defend me. That is exactly what he did! He came out with all guns firing and the case was settled in less than two weeks. WOW...he was amazing. I didn't have to give that CREEP a penny. Lake was sincerely happy for me and gave me a huge hug. Not only is he an awesome attorney, he's a really great guy. Hopefully I won't ever need an attorney again, but if I do you know who I'm calling. I will highly recommend Lake to anyone that needs a good attorney. It's so nice to be free of this and I am so grateful to Lake for making that possible. Pam
