Where my last lawyer failed, Chris prevailed. Battled getting my record expunged for over 5 years with a budget attorney before giving up. Should have called Chris from day one. Responded to my emails within 24 hours and gave clear-cut advice. Glad to have my issue resolved finally would recommend him to anyone needing an expungement. - TJ

Chris is exactly who you want to represent you; he’s thorough, compassionate, and works constantly to get the best result possible. Chris updated me constantly throughout the process and answered any and all questions I had. He managed to get a result that I didn’t think was possible. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. 5 stars! — Alex


I was wrongfully convicted and was sentenced to spend 25 years to life in prison. Mr. Perri came in and applied his knowledge and expertise. I can now breathe and enjoy my new life. Words are not enough to express how thankful I am. — A. A.


Chris Perri is the attorney to go to in Austin for anything Criminal Law related. I had an issue that had been haunting me for over a decade and Chris reached out to me by phone and talked with me about my case and thoroughly explained the process. He wasn’t pushy, wasn’t aggressive, wasn’t overpriced like most attorneys I had interacted with before him. He was actually quite personable and down to earth and easy to talk to. If I had any questions he was very prompt to respond by email. If I have any future issues, I know who to go to! — C.G.

Chris is by far the most patient, responsive, understanding, diligent and intelligent attorney that I have had the pleasure to work with. Truly a great person, with all good intentions and is not privy to taking shortcuts or making quick bucks. Chris is one of very few attorneys I still keep in touch with over the years. He always has a resource or referral for even far-fetched legal matters compared to his field, and is always willing to lend his advise or simply an ear. Honestly, a review doesn't do justice for the quality of work that Chris provides. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. - R. L.


I was mislead by an unscrupulous attorney into taking a plea deal on a felony. By the time I discovered that this had severe consequences for my life and career, I feared it was too late to be fixed. Luckily, I was referred to Chris Perri. He filed a successful writ of habeas corpus showing that my trial attorney provided ineffective assistance, and the prosecution ultimately agreed to drop the charges. I am so impressed with the amount of care, skill, and dedication that Chris put into my case. He was always easy to reach and kept me updated throughout the process. Chris has a great reputation and enormous expertise, yet his fees are very reasonable. Chris is everything that an excellent attorney should be. - M. W.


Chris is an excellent attorney! I won’t go into the details of my case publicly, but what I can say is that he was able to get everything taken care of without me even stepping inside a court room. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and has an absolutely great attitude. I highly recommend his services and thank him for helping me in one of the most chaotic and stressful times in my life. - A.B.

I was a college student that made a careless mistake that could've severely hampered my life trajectory. With Chris' help I was given a fresh start.

We are very pleased with our experience with Mr. Perri. He answered our call - even though he was on vacation - and began the process of taking care of our needs immediately. The process was easy and quick with completion weeks earlier than he had promised. He is very personable and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend his services. - Robin W.

Chris was a great attorney and worked diligently to win me a great deal. Chris was quick to respond and was very knowledgeable of the system and able to explain everything to help me understand my options. I knew from our first meeting that Chris was the right attorney for me. In the end Chris was able to have my case dismissed and return a better outcome than I anticipated. Overall I was very satisfied with his professionalism and kindness. I have complete trust in Chris and would recommend his legal counsel and defense to anyone in need. Thanks Chris! -- S.C.


A family member had a complicated legal issue, and not only was Chris able to get the best imaginable outcome, he did it at a fraction of the price other lawyers wanted to charge. Was always kind, professional, and accessible. Can't recommend him strongly enough! — A.K.


I had to get legal counsel during the pandemic, I was so frustrated before I talked to Chris and didn't know what I am getting into. I was so lucky to find Chris to help me on my case. The rapport and guidance from him were outstanding, prompt, timely and open for calls and quick updates. He worked through all of the questions and issues on my case with me. He successfully expunged the record in a very short time. I can't thank Chris enough for his care, work and time on the case. I highly recommend him for anyone who need help their record expunged he is the right person to do it for you. — E.Z.

Professional, knowledgeable, honest, forthright, fair and extremely thorough. Chris is unlike any lawyer I’ve ever dealt with in the past. I’m a hard guy to please and although I live outside Texas Chris made me feel comfortable and important. Despite the fact we’ve never met!! He handled a few decades old pending charges against me and had them dismissed in record time. It’s quite obvious that Chris knows the “players” in the Austin legal arena. A defense attorney that’s well known and respected by his peers in the DA’s office is invaluable. I firmly believe that was the difference maker in my case. If anyone ever needs a competent and results oriented defense lawyer on their side give Chris a call immediately. I’m glad I did. - W. C.


I greatly appreciate Chris Perri’s assistance in getting this matter taken care of. I cannot say enough with how pleased I am with his ongoing communication and the level of professionalism in handling my cases.

Chris was such a pleasure to work with. Extremely responsive and was happy to slowly walk me through the process of somewhat complex legal matters. He tells you the truth - not what you want to hear. Would strongly recommend using him in the future. — N. S.

Mr. Perri is a great Counsel, he was very diligent since we first talked and got on our case immediately. He did due procedure in my daughter's case and in a matter of a short time, resolved her problem. I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal advise in criminal cases. Thank you so much Mr. Perri! - Luis V.


After receiving my DUI charge I was unsure as to how to proceed. I was given Chris's information on recommendation and could not be happier with his assistance. On our first meeting he was very approachable and laid out the general expectations of such a case so clearly that I decided to hire him right then. Throughout the entire experience, Chris was open and knowledgeable and easy to reach. He expertly helped me navigate the different trial times, even helping me reschedule once when my work schedule restricted me from appearing. And in the end he worked out the best outcome I could have imagined. I hope, as I expect everyone does, that I won't need a lawyer of this nature ever again but if I do I know I will turn to Christopher Perri. Thanks Chris. – John T.


Most excellent Attorney! Chris work tirelessly to get my DWI dismissed. In a different county! I would put my trust in him if I were you. He is reasonably priced and will let you pay on time too. He is easy to work with and can handle any contingency the law throws at you. — R.P.

Chris Perri is the best! He is a man of his word and conducts his business with diligence and honor. Chris is very intelligent, honest, and resourceful and because of that whatever situation you are in is going to be much less stressful with him on your side.— G.J.


I hired Chris to defend me against two charges what the Williamson County DA’s office was prosecuting me for. Despite the prosecutor’s unwillingness to compromise or offer a pre-trial diversion option, Chris dug his heels in and both cases were eventually dropped. Chris also helped me expunge my record a few months after the charges were dismissed. Very reasonable prices and payment arrangements. Chris has a lot of experience and knows how to handle overly zealous prosecutors. – Stephen


Chris has helped me with several legal matters, all of which were taken care of effectively and efficiently.  He is very responsive and I felt that he genuinely cared about getting the very best outcome for me.— A.B.

Chris is the utmost professional. He takes the time to truly understand your side of things in a friendly and kind manner. His knowledge and experience allow him to provide a very high quality defense. In my case, he was able to get my DWI charge reduced to a reckless driving charge. Throughout the entire process, Chris kept me informed on all of my options, what the possible outcomes could be, and what he advised to reach the best possible results. With such high quality service, his prices are more than fair, and on top of that, he is willing to work with you to develop manageable payment plans. All in all, Chris alleviates the intimidating legal processes brought on by your charge and provides the security and peace of mind of having an excellent defense attorney on your side. – Nathan R.


Chris was recommended to me by a friend who had previously used his services for a similar DWI case. I'm very glad to have heard about him because he handled my case wonderfully and was really responsive throughout the process; I will definitely use his legal services again in the future! – S.R.
