Kind Words From Real People

“The level of professionalism; dedication; compassion and customer service exhibited by Mr. Perez is not common in the industry.”
As an attorney at law in the State of New Jersey I generally receive calls from friends and family members seeking assistance and/or advice. Generally I can offer some level of assistance and guidance. That said, I am not licensed in New York nor do I practice criminal law. As such, when I received a call from a close friend in the early morning hours of a recent Saturday explaining that he had been arrested I immediately called them. Much to my surprise, my call was personally answered by Mr. Perez despite the fact that it was after midnight. Mr. Perez explained the process to me in a calm and professional manner and appeared just hours later at central booking to enter an appearance and represent my friend. Throughout the entire process Mr. Perez kept me and my friend’s family members up to date regarding the situation via phone call and text message exhibiting confidence in a candid and professional manner. Ultimately, Mr. Perez was able to achieve a favorable resolution of the issue as the matter was ultimately dismissed. As an attorney I can tell you, the level of professionalism; dedication; compassion and customer service exhibited by Mr. Perez is not common in the industry. If the need arises do not hesitate to contact them, you will be in good hands.- Happy Client -

“The best criminal lawyer.”
I highly recommend Benjamin Perez as a criminal attorney. He is a true expert in criminal law. He responds quickly and personally to emails and phone calls. He gave me a free consult that exceeded all expectations. He is smart, compassionate, analytical, listens, and was capable of understanding the complexities of my case right away. He then outlined what needed to be done. He was fully involved and focused on my case and was not "going through the motions". I highly recommend him. I have dealt with other lawyers and he is in a different league. The best criminal lawyer.- Happy Client -
“Mr. Perez was by far the best NYC criminal defense lawyer I have ever had represent me.”
Mr. Perez was by far the best NYC criminal defense lawyer I have ever had represent me. (I have had quite a few run-ins with the law!) He is by far the best. He got my charges dismissed at trial. He's the man. If you are in trouble this is your guy. Thanks Mr. Perez for your help. I am happy to write this review for you.- Happy Client -
“Knowledgeable, very determined, trustworthy, dedicated to his profession”
Simply an outstanding Counsel! Knowledgeable, very determined, trustworthy, dedicated to his profession and always willing to schedule an appointment with you to address any questions or concerns you may have. My girlfriend (who is currently my wife) and I went to see him because we wanted to get marry but were unable to because her x-husband made it difficult for her to end the marriage legally. He acted like a gangster and constantly made threats making it impossible for her to begin a new life. As a consequence this created a lot of tension and emotional stress in our relationship and to be perfectly honest with you I was beginning to see a very vague future for us. Her divorce dragged in court but thank God that my wife had someone like Peter representing her for after a very lengthy and ugly battle in court she was able to obtain a divorce. Peter is simply outstanding and we thank him for all the work that he put into my wife's case.- Happy Client -
“Excellent customer service and we got our case dismissed!”
Mr. Perez represented my husband with a case and we were very pleased with his level of professionalism and customer service. We live in Georgia now and had to travel to take care of business. We went through so many attorneys in NY before finding Perez. Perez kept me informed every step of the way and was always available to speak with me and answer my questions, even on the WEEKEND he answered my emails!! Excellent customer service and we got our case dismissed! I would recommend him to many others.- Katrina -

Awesome lawyer.- Happy Client -
