How criminal defense attorney Chris Perri can help:

When faced with such high stakes, it’s essential to hire a proven criminal defense lawyer in Austin who will listen to your side of the story, investigate the facts, and then work zealously to ensure the best possible outcome for your case. Based in Travis County and practicing throughout Texas, Chris Perri has extensive experience helping clients facing violent crime charges get their lives back.

Chris Perri knows that the version of events presented by law enforcement isn't always the whole story. For that reason, Chris conducts his own extensive investigation, interviewing witnesses and visiting the crime scene to verify the prosecution’s “facts.” Often there are inconsistencies found in the witnesses’ statements. Also, the investigation can help determine the viability of certain legal defenses, such as necessity, duress, and self-defense. For example, if you were in fear of imminent harm, you are justified in defending yourself. The same is true if you are protecting someone from being assaulted.
