It is this devotion and passion that has led to him achieving one of the highest ratings on Avvo, an unbiased rating system based on an attorney’s background and reputation.

Thank you, Brian D. Perskin & Associates P.C. From my first message to Mr. Brian, it was on a holiday weekend. At the time, if I can recall, he was away on vacation. He was incredibly responsive and provided clarity where I had previously felt lost. For days I was emailing and asking questions. He responded to them all. Even before I signed any retainer. Most lawyers, you may be lucky to get them answered one call or email before telling you to come to their office or sign a retainer first. After enduring a difficult misleading. Misrepresentation. Drawn-out divorce and child custody battle with two previous law firms, I needed real support. The first lawyer deceived me, and the second left me confused, hopeless after three years of no progress. I need a change! Mr. Brian Perskin explanations transformed my experience, allowing me to sleep soundly at night. When I finally met him and Samantha Hunt at their office, I felt confident in my legal team. They made the entire process fast and efficient, preparing me for trial in just a few months. On trial day, I was anxious, but when Brian and Samantha arrived, it felt like I had a strong defense team beside me. In just hours, before the trial, Brian secured a favorable settlement and dismissed all the false allegations against me. That was scheduled in another court. Even though they had prepared me well for the trial. I wish I had found Brian sooner! I received almost everything I requested, despite my previous lawyers' many shortcomings. Brian is an outstanding divorce and child custody lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Going through a divorce is challenging, but having Brian by my side made all the difference. He was professional, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns, explained my rights, and developed a strategy that prioritized my well-being. Communication was excellent throughout; I always felt informed and supported. Samantha Hunt was excellent throughout this process. Brian remained calm and strategic during difficult negotiations, fighting for my best interests while keeping things amicable. Thanks to him, I secured a fair settlement and regained my confidence. If you need a dedicated lawyer who genuinely cares, I highly recommend Brian D. Perskin & Associates P.C. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate during such a tough time

I retained Brian D. Perskin & Associates to represent me in my contested divorce. Right off the bat, I could tell that Brian and his Associate Attorney, Sara Jane Bullard, were the right fit for me. They were experienced, knowledgeable and attentive to every question I had, and every challenge we faced along the way. You can tell that Brian’s been doing this for decades and knows the overall divorce process like the back of his hand, as well as the ins and outs of the complicated court system. I was impressed with the way Brian was able to advocate for me. He wasn’t scared to speak up and really fight for me, while at the same time making sure not to overdo it; as not to anger the judge or the opposition. Sara Jane aka Janie, is a rising star. She is so easy to communicate with and is extremely detail oriented. I never had to worry that something I asked her would go unanswered or something she said she would do wouldn’t get done. As my ex would consistently complain about how her attorney, Deana Balahtsis, would forget to provide pertinent information to her, and hardly respond to her emails, I felt so lucky I didn’t have to deal with that at all. One of my biggest fears when hiring an attorney was the cost. I was worried that I was going to get hit with ridiculous fees. With Brian D. Perskin & Associates, this was not the case at all. I was kept in the loop and made aware of how much things would cost along the way. There weren’t any frivolous fees and unlike my ex, I was never held hostage, with work grinding to a stop unless I made a payment the minute I was sent an invoice. Brian and Janie are terrific attorneys. You can tell they love what they do and truly want to help. I would 100% recommend both of them to anyone looking for a competent and experienced divorce attorney.
