Richard represented me at my divorce settlement court date and did a wonderful job. I had been working with another lawyer for over a year and never had the confidence in my representation as as I did with Richard. I always felt like he had my best interest in mind. He communicated my concerns with the opposing attorney and after the settlement was concluded I felt like he did the best job with the information at hand.

Mr. Perry recently represented me in a custody modification case, and I was very pleased with his performance. He did an excellent job keeping me updated and informed on everything that was happening with my case. He was always prompt in getting back to me, and he took the time to talk to me and answer all of my questions. I really appreciated the fact that he was always honest and straight with me, never sugar-coating things or making empty promises. In the courtroom, he argued my case passionately and aggressively. He was quick with his objections and didn't give the opposing an inch. If you're looking for a lawyer who is knowledgable, who genuinely cares about your case, and who will do battle for you in the courtroom, look no further! Mr. Perry is top-notch!

Mr. Perry presented himself in a professional and effective manner while handling our Custody/Visitation Modification case. After our primary attorney was unable to represent my wife, due to unforeseeable issues, Mr. Perry was assigned to our case and we were NOT disappointed! Mr. Perry listened intently to my wife as she explained the events that brought us to this point. As she was explaining these events, you could visually see Mr. Perry formulating a plan on how he would engage the opposing side in court. He took our expected results into consideration and coupled with the information he was given, provided sound recommendations for moving the case forward. Mr. Perry engaged opposing counsel before we entered court and he was able to negotiate a visitation modification settlement in favor of my wife. Although Mr. Perry would have pursued a Custody Modification if we directed him to do so; we listened to his counsel, looked at the merits of our case, and determined that the Visitation Modification was in the best interest of our child. Mr. Perry is not inexpensive, but I will tell any person reading this review, you get what you pay for, and Mr. Perry earned his paycheck!

Richard represented me in a long and complex custody modification. He was compassionate and knowledgeable, and willing to answer lots of questions- even after hours! He hits the ground running, and will roll up his sleeves and patiently plan the best strategy, and doesn't overcharge. I hope you never find yourself in this situation, but if you do, Richard is a capable friend to have at your side.

I hired Richard Perry in the summer of 2013 to represent me in a custody modification case. I interviewed numerous other attorneys prior to finding Mr. Perry, and I definitely made the right choice. He literally filed my paperwork one week and we were in Court for an emergency hearing within just a few days. Mr. Perry was very aggressive and did not back down from the opposition. He got everything I asked for plus more. His billing was very fair and he was professional both inside the courtroom and out. Mr. Perry is a down to earth guy and does not make you feel beneath him as so many attorneys normally do. He explains the law to you and keeps you informed throughout the proceedings. I would refer him to anyone with no hesitations.

Never keep you up to speed with your case unprofessional and unorganized staff don't take on anymore cases if you don't have time for the clients

He worked for ever sole law at the time and showed up to my case totally unprepared and was completely unknowledgeable about my case situation. He was 45 min late also. Immediately following the court appearance I fired him and hired a new lawyer. He spoke very timid and didn't argue any points for my favor.
