Every lawyer I contacted told me about how they would get me a good plea deal but Seth was the first one who said "I think we have a case" and "I didn't become a lawyer to take plea deals." And man did he deliver. Throughout the whole process Seth would respond to texts quickly and kept me informed about everything. I recommend you tell Seth EVERYTHING, even medical things. There's things he can use in his case that you might not think are relevant but could be game changers. If Seth thinks you have a case, he'll tell you, but he wont recommend you to take the risk of going to trial, you have to make that decision for yourself. In the court room I saw dozens of people with similar charges to my own, each of them taking the exact same plea deal that the other lawyers wanted me to take. Seth was the only one who took it to trial and he fought hard. As the trial went on, Seth would do research on the fly based on the prosecution's arguments, to poke holes in them, all while playing 4D Chess, positioning his arguments for all possible scenarios, going on for hours without letting up. In the end, it was the simple evidence he provided in the beginning that won the case, the rest was... theater? strategy? A mix of both probably. It worked. The point is, all charges were dismissed. Seth is the best lawyer I've ever experienced.

On November 3, 2024, I reached out to Crowley Peritz Law following an incident that resulted in a petit larceny charge on November 1, 2024. Prior to my engagement with Crowley Peritz, I had consulted with two other attorneys in the vicinity; however, I found myself uncomfortable with the prospect of retaining their services. The previous attorneys approached the situation as if it were a mere business transaction, with one paralegal even questioning, "Why should we represent you?" This was not the reassurance I sought during a critical time requiring legal support. On that Sunday, during the late morning hours, I came across an article detailing Seth Peritz's representation of a client involved in the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, commonly referred to as the "Capitol Riot." It became clear to me that I needed to locate Seth and secure his representation. From our initial conversation, Seth exhibited a reassuring demeanor while demonstrating his competence as an attorney. He possesses a thorough understanding of the court system, including the judges and prosecutors, as well as their respective tendencies. His approach is characterized by kindness, compassion, and genuine concern for his clients. He takes into account the broader context of the situation, recognizing not only the charges at hand but also their potential impact on daily life and overall well-being. He provided me with explicit guidance regarding the necessary steps to secure a favorable outcome. In my experience within the helping profession, I have come to understand that while a provider will exert every effort to assist, the onus ultimately lies with the client to engage in the requisite work. Seth outlined the actions I needed to undertake, and I committed to those efforts, which yielded positive results. On December 19, I arrived at the Fairfax County Courthouse, where the detective who had summoned me failed to appear, despite Attorney Seth having issued a subpoena for his attendance. It appeared that the prosecutor was inclined to seek a continuance of the case; however, Seth was actively advocating on my behalf while I observed various cases on the docket. I witnessed individuals accepting plea deals from prosecutors and others grappling with the complexities of the legal process without the benefit of legal representation. This was disheartening, and I found myself expressing gratitude for having found and retained Seth. Eventually, my name was called, and I was not required to approach the podium. I heard the judge declare, "Nolle prosequi." Seth responded, "Thank you, Your Honor," closed his file, and exited the courtroom. I was nearly convinced that I would enter the New Year burdened by this issue; however, Seth's determination proved otherwise. Seth's value is immeasurable, far exceeding the fees he charges. His rates are exceptionally fair, and his responsiveness is commendable. Unlike many law firms where communication is often filtered through paralegals, Seth ensures direct access; he is readily available via email, text, or phone call. His replies are prompt, and in the rare event that he is unable to respond immediately, he will follow up and inform you accordingly. In this society, regardless of the charges one may face or the privileges one may possess, the necessity of retaining legal counsel remains paramount. The adage "History is written by the winners" holds true, and Seth exemplifies this notion as a preeminent attorney in the Virginia region. While I sincerely hope to avoid requiring his services in the future, I aspire to draw upon his extensive knowledge and expertise in my professional endeavors. Seth is truly exceptional, and I pray for his continued health and well-being, so that he may assist those in need of his legal acumen. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you, Seth, for all that you have done; your impact will remain with me always.

I wanna say thank you to the best lawyer in Virginia. He helped me out of my case and got it dismissed. He was honest, helpful, and very experienced. The fee he charged me was very affordable compared to the other lawyers in the area. I’d recommend him to my friends and family who need to get out a sticky situation. Thank you Matthew.

Seth was the first lawyer I ever hired. A few years later, when I realized I might need a lawyer again, he was the first person I thought of to call. I explained what was going on, and he told me even if I don’t hire him, it’s in my best interest to hire someone soon. I called him back about 30 minutes later and we talked more about my case. He gave me advice on what to do to achieve the results I wanted and answered all of my questions along the way. I left court with better results than I ever expected. If I ever need a lawyer again, Seth Peritz is my first choice.

I hired Mr. Seth Peritz to represent me on my DWI and refusal to breathalyze case. His knowledge and expertise in DWI defense was outstanding and gave me every bit of confidence in him as my lawyer. He quickly grasped the details of my case, calmed my nerves, was always honest and up front with regards to the options that I had and gave me truthful yet comprehensive answers to all of my questions. Mr. Seth was always available, responsive and professional. He was there through every step of the process and made a difficult situation as easy as it could possibly be. Mr. Seth took my case into trial and fought for both DWI and refusal to breathalyze and I was found NOT GUILTY! The outcome of my case was far better than I could have ever imagined and I firmly believe that was directly related to Mr. Seth’s extensive expertise in DWI defense. Mr. I am extremely relieved that I elected to use Mr. Seth for legal representation and would highly recommend others facing a DWI or similar charge to seek his services.

I had a misdemeanor that was upgraded to a felony once I left Va. Ultimately, I was detained out of town on a fugitive warrant and held for about a month. During this time, Seth worked harder toward getting me back to Va than my local representation. After I got back, Seth got me bonded out within a matter of hours and my case was dismissed. He is currently working on expunging my record. Throughout this process Seth has been diligent and professional, and showed concern for me and my situation. This was my 1st (and hopefully last) legal encounter, but I appreciate his effort and will certainly recommend Seth for all legal defense matters going forward. Thank you!

My initial encounter with Mr. Crowley was on the initial trial hearing of my family member's DV case. I found that Mr. Crowley had a high level of integrity and knowledge, and seemed genuinely concerned about the case as an individual, rather than just another case number on the dock. During the trial, Mr. Crowley asked all the relevant questions, reviewed all the documents of the opposing counsel, he found the inconsistencies with the plaintiff’s testimony, and was VERY concise with the cross examination. I expected the best he had to offer and he delivered. I highly recommend Mr. Crowley!

I had a DWI case with an elevated BAC. Seth was very open and honest from the start about how he saw my case playing out. He was very upfront, was able to explain to me how everything was going to work and what I needed to do. He ended up getting it dropped down to improper driving, which was incredible! I never would have thought I’d have that outcome, all odds seemed against me. I would definitely recommend working with him, he did an amazing job.

Mr. Crowley never gave up on my case and despite some unexpected challenges found a creative approach to clear my name. He took a personal interest I don’t think many lawyers would. Thank you Matthew!

Mathew was an exceptional attorney. When the odds were stacked against me in a legal system that favors prosecutions and convictions over justice, he’s the one you want on your side. He was Knowledgeable, honest, attentive, and reassuring. I felt confident walking into the court room with Mathew Crowley that my rights would be protected as well as my interests in respect to the law.

I don’t have much experience as far as seeking or retaining legal counsel. But for a neophyte I was quite pleased with the level of service and the outcome of my case.

I have never even stepped foot into a courthouse yet found myself facing misdemeanor charges. Needles to say was very worried about how this would impact my job and future prospects. During a recess break on my court date I overheard another lawyer tell his client he'd spent 30 minutes talking to the prosecutor and was sure he wouldn't get a better deal for similar charges to mine. The whole time this lawyer was convincing his client to accept the charges Seth was still in there fighting tooth and nail for me. He kept going back and forth with the prosecutor without backing down to get me the best result I didn't even know was possible. I highly recommend Seth as the first person I'd go to for any legal trouble.

After contacting a few different attorneys in the area, Mr. Peritz quickly stood apart. He provided an excellent approach/strategy and took the time to explain all of the possible outcomes. On the day we went to court he was well prepared, articulate, and motivated. When my trial started his true colors really showed from start to finish. He's a winner, and winners like to win. Thank you again Seth!

Mr Peritz was patient & very kind during our consultation which fortunately inclined me to speak with him and go with him. He spent a lot of time with me on the phone. He was great in court & very heroic. He became akin to a blood brother in the parking lot after our win in court (after the trial) as I disclosed intimate familial details & my relief over the dismissal of an inequitable, baseless, biased charge.

Worst law firm EVER! Crowley was NOT prepared for trial. He took my $10,000 fee and fed me to the wolves! I lost with dire consequences and now have to hire another attorney to fix his mistake! DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!

Mr. Peritz was totally unprepared for my case. The only thing he had prepared was what I gave him. Mr. Peritz had no angle to cross. Mr.Peritz exploded on me the client at least 3 times.
