Reviews

i was bored so figured i would write him a review and hopefully give him a better review and for some reason if someone sees this GIVE MY DAD 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I hired attorney Perry to represent me in a real estate dispute after reading many of the favorable reviews I read online and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Mr. Perry’s failure to submit a drafted Settlement Agreement from opposing counsel caused me to lose my house and everything I own after he attempted to charge my account nearly four times the agreed upon price. Attorney Perry, I later discovered, engages in the controversial practice of block billing to calculate and obfuscate fees (a technique often attributed to sloppiness, laziness and greed) and apparently practices excessive incremental billing in contrast to his stated fee agreement which promises to provide billing increments in tenths of an hour. Consequently, courts and disciplinary counsels in multiple jurisdictions throughout the US (including Ohio) have determined such practices to be fraudulent and illegal or at least highly unethical. Disciplinary Counsel v. Smith, 152 Ohio St.3d 337, 2017-Ohio-9087, Glover v. Heart of America Mgmt. Co., 1999 WL 540895 at *7, fn 8 (D. Kan 1999) Tom Carter Enterprises, Inc., 55 B.R. 548, 549 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1985) Mr. Perry’s demand letters cost about $400 more than the national average and take longer to produce and may be the reason why some have lamented, including even some favourable reviewers, that attorney Perry has a particular tendency to underbid and overcharge even basic, routine jobs. I discovered multiple block billed entries totalling several hours, for what appears to be work that I performed in mere minutes, apparently being charged at my expense. Another 2 hours and 42 minutes in last minute billable hours, for a period in which Mr. Perry claims that he was no longer representing me. A similar entry on the 4th of December for 54 minutes for a phone call in which attorney Perry would later go on to clarify was for a voice message requesting that I call him back. In the end, I had to borrow money and Mr. Perry was paid nearly double what he had originally quoted me for the work, and more than he could verify was allegedly owed to him, before he abandoned my case mid-settlement. Mr. Perry’s failure to honor the terms of our fee agreement not only caused irreparable, catastrophic, life destroying harm to me and my property but subjected me and my family to endure additional criminal harassment, fraud, intimidation and abuse at the behest of my adversaries. A claim for misconduct arises when Attorney Perry proposes a confidentiality/non-disparage agreement to prevent this review from being published, in violation of Profession Rule 8.4 (a)(c)(d)(h) by attempting to violate Rule 1.8 (h)(1)(2)(i)(ii)(iii) when on March 15, 2021 and multiple times thereafter, by urging an unrepresented former client to enter into an agreement prospectively limiting the lawyer’s liability to a client for malpractice. As you can probably imagine, client abandonment, billing fraud, contract breaches and misconduct are serious allegations and I do not make such statements frivolously. Mr. Perry has intonated that there would be “actionable” consequences if I posted this review and has tried multiple times to remove it. He has since enlisted “family acquaintances” to write obviously bogus Avvo reviews presumably to boost his ratings. To my knowledge attorney Perry has never attempted to remove those reviews. Attorney Perry refuses to release my full client file or reply to correspondence. He is also suspected of leaking information to opposing counsel that would forever irreparably harm my chances of becoming whole under the law.

Mr. Perry was very professional and truthful to me throughout the case. He was very hopeful but also reminded me it'd be a difficult case to pursue since the defendant was no where to be found in the country. Mr. Perry's communication is superb. He communicated with me every step of the way both through emails and phone calls. He was great and I plan on using his services again if ever in need of a lawyer in Ohio.

Jeff was excellent to work with in regards to my case. He was very thorough and diligent in getting to work in working on my case. I spoke with Jeff one day and then he went to work on defending my case immediately. I found with his effort and detail the outcome to my case was far better then I was expecting.

I contacted Jeff via phone as we live in WA state and our case was in OH. All of our correspondence was done thru email (majority) and phone calls. He explained every aspect of the case and answered every answer that we had. He was very patient and wonderful to work with. Professional; but caring at the same time. He is the 1st attorney who had that quality that I have encountered. If you have a case that is within Jeff's scope of expertise, I would highly recommend him for the job. Jeff's fees are very reasonable and was upfront with the cost as it went along. The fact that you can pay online is a very good idea.

He helped me with the lemon law process on my Ford F150 and got Ford Motor Co. to settle with a cash amount which covered the trade in difference on a 2016 F150 and paid for his lawyers fees as well. I was a bit surprised when I was charged fees for certain things that I didn't think I would be.

Consulted with Mr. Perry for a few things. He listens, plans, and communicates effectively. He's honest, won't sugar coat anything. You'd be smart to have him as your attorney.

I hired Perry right after our initial consultation on the phone because he quickly grasped the legal situation I was in and advised me well. I subsequently found him to be as excellent a lawyer as I expected. I needed to initiate litigation for a complicated defamation case. His knowledge of the law was superb, his advice was consistently helpful and clear, he understood the unusual complexities of my case, and was very easy to work with. He was also generous and reasonable throughout. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Perry was fantastic at explaining my legal situation to me, helping me understand my options, and selecting the correct path to take. He was knowledgeable, professional, and personable.

Jeff was nothing short of amazing. He instantly emailed me to discuss my case. He kept me informed and guided me in the right direction. He was kind and helpful, and made everything easygoing. I can't thank him enough for all his help

Jeff helped me get setup in a hurry for my new business. I needed to have my company name changed based on the direction I was taking for my business. Within days all was taken care of and at a very reasonable cost. Working with Jeff made it so stress free it was greatly appreciated.

I was served with a breach of contract law suit by a previous employer. Jeff was highly recommend to handle my case. I met with Jeff and gave him all the documents that i had. He put together a great defense and also an even better counter law suit showing that in fact the previous employer breached the contract and not me. Jeff even read the documents and told me that according to the contracts they in fact owe me money. We went to court early this year and Jeff won all 5 accounts of my T.R.O. Jeff is great to work with and one of the best attorneys I have ever met. No matter how big the law firm is that is filing a complaint against you doesnt bother or intimate Jeff at all. I now use Jeff as my go to attorney for ALL my top end clients.
