Criminal Lawyers -Perth
Expert advice & legal representation

No words can do justice to describe the experience we had with Michael Perrella. 

Initially, we sought legal advice from a solicitor regarding my son’s case. My husband and I quickly came to the conclusion that he did not ‘take ownership’ of the case, nor did he display any form of compassion. Put simply, we felt that we were just ‘another number’. 

Fortunately, we met Michael who was everything and much more than we had hoped for. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of the law, attention to detail and most importantly, his compassion made us feel at ease in what was a very emotional and stressful time for our family. 

My son’s charge was extremely serious, one that warranted definite imprisonment. However, the defence Michael had prepared and delivered was phenomenal and thus, as a result my son was given a suspended sentence. My family and I are indebted to Michael for everything he has done. 

Through this trying ordeal, not only do we have our son at home, my family has gained a friend, Michael, and for both we are forever grateful.

Before I came to Perrella Legal I spoke to a couple of other lawyers on the phone but didn’t feel I could trust them. I was highly stressed and anxious when I arrived at Perrella Legal. However, from the moment I spoke with Mr Perrella and he gave me the hypotheticals I immediately felt this was someone I could trust. Everything Mr Perrella said was true all the way through the 20-month ordeal. His word was solid and there was no sales pitch. It was apparent that Mr Perrella cares for his client and has a winning streak where he gets satisfaction from the victory, which is what I got after a four-day trial. The whole team at Perrella Legal treated me with respect and there was no judgement. Thank you!

Adam

Just a personal note from Barbara and I to thank you for all your professional and personal support for [our son] and us during this very anxious period. While the outcome is everything we wished for, your stoic good humour, professional approach and very supporting manner made the journey so much more bearable.

[Our son] has handled the stress with his usual external calm and mature pragmatic approach, but I know this has torn him up inside and without your regular support the anxiety levels would have been much higher.

Thank you to you and your team and sincerely if you ever need a reference for your firm please do not hesitate to give my name and details to any clients.

We are forever grateful for your professional services.

We would highly recommend Perrella Legal.

Thank you very much for once again helping out my client as it is not easy finding lawyers who are youth friendly and you have done an amazing job.

You have always given my clients great outcomes and treated them in a non-judgemental and respectful manner and explained things to them in simple language which is exactly what they need.  My experience with previous lawyers in the past has not been so good ...

I am a former solicitor in Western Australia acquitted of charges of stealing as power of attorney from my former client and business partner.

I consider it a public duty to provide this testimonial to the work done by Perrella Legal which I credit for my acquittal at my trial in the District Court in November 2018.

Mr. Michael Perrella accepted my instructions and thoroughly got across the facts and issues of consequence in the case and defence, and articulated these matters to me in a timely way in matter of fact plain English. Prior to trial Mr. Perrella produced and provided the prosecution with detailed and compelling public interest submissions, that while not accepted by the prosecution, were almost entirely reflected in the Judges’ comments at trial. I have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Perrella Legal for any person facing criminal charges particularly any professional person facing criminal charges arising from complex commercial dealings.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Adam Hammond & Mr. Perrella

I wanted to thank Adam for his personable, empathetic, knowledgeable and professional attitude whilst dealing with our case. 

This whole process has had a life-changing effect on my family for the past two years and it has taken its toll on all of us. Adam was there every step of the way, he kept us up to date, told us what could happen and was extremely sensitive when dealing with my son - who was struggling with the whole process.

My whole family want to congratulate Adam on his successful NOT GUILTY VERDICT that he attained for my son. This is from the bottom of our hearts - we could not have gone through this process without his due diligence and empathetic attitude when dealing with this horrendous time in our lives.

Our sincere thanks to Adam he did a fantastic job - and was brilliant and cannot thank him enough. We were not just another client to Adam he really does work hard and has your best interests at heart and wants to win, he genuinely wants to do his very best for you and he achieved this.

Adam and Perrella Legal will always have a special place in my family’s heart for succeeding in getting my son out of an immature decision that he will live with for the rest of his life but he can now try and repair his sanity and concentrate on his passion for work and have a future that he so rightly deserves.

I will have no hesitation in referring family or friends to Adam and yourself Mr Perrella.

With sincere thanks and gratitude.

Dear Ashleigh
I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work, professionalism and tireless effort you contributed to my sons case with so little time no fault of your own but due to us changing lawyers!
From the time we met you over a Skype call (due to COVID) you made us feel very comfortable, more so my son who was very nervous and we knew then that we were in good hands.
With only few days before the trial was to begin you went to the magistrate asking for more time that you could get the best possible outcome for our son in which the magistrate agreed and so you were given a couple more weeks to prepare and work on his case with an amazing outcome that we will always be so grateful for.
Once again Ashleigh, THANK YOU so much for what you achieved due to your dedication of hard work.
With no hesitation I would definitely recommend you to anyone that needed legal representation.
Kind Regards
K & JG

Michael was recommended to me by a third party, frankly it was a decision which I have never regretted as I was in a situation I had no idea how to navigate. Michael was very professional , kind and emphatic, a character trait I admire, given that I was going through a very stressful time.

In a nutshell do not hesitate to call him if you need legal advice.
