They are presented here only to illustrate the experiences of some our clients. * * * * * As a veteran police officer I had the opportunity to experience and observe the workings of the Criminal Justice system hundreds of times. I had first-hand experience with both good and bad examples of those individuals professionally involved in the system, including Police, Defense Lawyers, and Prosecutors. Finding competent professionals in that environment was not always easy. That is why, when circumstances arose where I needed to retain legal representation to defend me in a Criminal matter, I was pleased to find available an Attorney as well-qualified and competent as Robert Perez. Through detailed interviews and investigation, Mr. Perez advised me honestly regarding the challenges and the best course of action in my situation, and then allowed me to be a partner in deciding on, and carrying out, that joint vision. While representing me and preparing and presenting a top-notch, detailed presentation of the merits of my position in the case, Mr. Perez and his staff were always courteous, informative, discreet and caring. Although my case was probably successful based simply on the hard work Mr. Perez and his staff did prior to Court, his professional manner, his confident presentation, and his insight while in court contributed greatly to the successul resolution of my matter. The result was exactly what I had hoped for and relieved a great burden from my family and myself. It has made a significant difference in my life. Because of this, I am grateful to Mr. Perez for his professionalism, his expertise, and his tireless efforts on my behalf. If I were to talk to someone seeking a Criminal Defense Lawyer today, I couldn't recommend more highly Robert Perez. - Submitted July 19, 2007 * * * * * I was at one time a practicing lawyer, and so it was devastating when I found myself facing criminal charges of theft of approximately $25,000. I initially hired another well-known attorney and he advised me to enter a plea. With little resources and being so far away, I did so. At sentencing, however, the victim showed up and introduced "evidence" that I stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. My attorney didn't see it coming - the plea agreement was in jeopardy and I was looking at 10 years in prison! With the support of family, I dismissed that attorney and sought new counsel. This time I went to Robert Perez. The case was a mess. I was facing a long sentence, loss of everything, husband, kids, and the ability to practice law ever again. I emailed him and was first impressed with the email response. It was detailed, thoughtful and well-written. This meant a lot to me as my communication with my attorney, from out of state, would mostly be by email. We then had a long phone conversation. I was impressed with the calm, reasoned and thorough approach he took. He agreed to take my case. He immediately went to work, obtaining copies of all documents. When I finally met with him I was impressed at how organized his office, his staff and, most importantly, my file was. He had obtained documents no one else had. He had gone to the courthouse and talked with people and really worked my case. It shouldn't have been a surprise, but it was. Robert Perez loves the law and believes in what he does. It is the thread of the work he weaves. It makes all the difference in the world to your case. He will take the time to understand the facts, to read the documents, to hear what you are saying. If you listen to Robert Perez speak for any length of time, that passion will be heard and felt in his voice and in his actions. That passion and that strength make a difference to the clients, to the cases and, I believe, to the outcome. After months of hard work and dedication and mountains of documents, Mr. Perez was able to successfully defend my plea agreement. I wound up doing 19 days on Work Release (in my home state) and he reduced restitution from $138,000 to $25,000. I truly believe that, had I gone to Mr. Perez when the allegations first started, I might not have ever been charged. I went to him late, but thankfully, not too late. - Submitted July 14, 2007 * * * * * Robert, thank you again for handling my case with care. I believe in the Justice System when you have the chance to show your side of the facts. On the surface, it was easy for the prosecution to predict an easy victory in my case. Child Molestation charges are easy to make but very difficult to defend. Because of the huge risk, I was almost ready to accept the SSOSA program recommend by the prosecutor, but, with your help, I kept my decision open given the lack of evidence. As the case progressed it was clear that I could not settle for a SSOSA plea because I was innocent. You read through my case, and asked important questions during some key interviews which revealed inconsistencies in the witness statements. This put pressure on the prosecutor's case. As we proceeded to the eve of trial, that pressure intensified, and ultimately the prosecution gave up. Incredibly, they dismissed the case completely, thanks to all your work. Not even a plea bargain, a complete dismissal. Early on when I met you, as part of your job, you had to tell me the possible negative outcomes for my life. Living with the prospect of going to jail or becoming a registered sex offender is very difficult. I realized the need to make a good choice on who I would have represent me. I'm very glad to have chosen you and your staff. Robert, you are professional, I learned a lot observing you in and out of court. You are well organized, with a great memory, and empathic. I felt like you spent the time with my case and I am very grateful for your support during a difficult time in my life. - Submitted July 13, 2007 * * * * * I would absolutely recommend Robert to anyone in legal trouble. My mother was facing some very serious charges. Her immigration status further complicated matters. Robert and his staff were all very professional and extremely knowledgeable. They were able to help my family through the entire criminal (in)justice process from beginning to end. I firmly believe that had it not been for Robert, my mother would easily not be in this country any longer. Robert takes his job very seriously and performs his duties thoroughly. He goes beyond what is simply required of him and exhausts all options available to his clients. He is not merely a lawyer but an advocate for his clients' rights and freedom. Even several months after the case was closed, his staff calls to make sure my mother is on the right track and is taking the right steps to rectify her situation. From start to end, Robert has never let us down and continues to impress my mom and my family. - Submitted April 8, 2008
