Willingness to Go to Trial
When insurance companies won’t offer fair compensation, I am prepared to take your case to trial.
Insurance companies pay close attention to whether an attorney is truly prepared to take a case before a jury. That reality often shapes how settlement negotiations unfold.
When an insurance company makes a low settlement offer, I explain to my clients that preparation is leverage. I approach every personal injury case with the expectation that it may ultimately go to trial. In many cases, that preparation leads insurers to return with a more reasonable offer. My client’s recovery is never something I’m willing to discount simply for the sake of a quick resolution.

“Working with Joshua Perlman has been one of the most painless experiences I’ve ever had. He is far from the stereotypical lawyer that you usually hear most people complain about. Josh is the most helpful, considerate, and compassionate professional that I’ve had the privilege of working with. He is truly knowledgeable in his craft and it shows. He always makes time for his client questions and concerns and never complains about it being burdensome. Despite my case being settled, we still keep in contact and I consider him to be a very dear friend of mine. If I had another case that required more legal representation, I wouldn’t hesitate to call him. I HIGHLY recommend working with Josh as you won’t find another lawyer who is willing to go above and beyond for your needs”
N. Francois
“My Dad got into a motorcycle accident last year and my current lawyer recommended Josh to help with my case. Josh is professional, kind and fully explained everything every step of the way. He followed up with us, fought for us after my Dad was over and done with the case but reassured him he deserves more. One year later our settlement was MORE than my Dad expected. I highly recommend working with Josh regarding any PI concerns. He is masterful in his practice and a pleasure to work with. I hope I never see him again but if I am in that situation I would not hesitate calling Joshua Perlman.”
Omar B.
“Josh was absolutely amazing. He stuck with us for a long period of time and kept us well informed. He remained calm under pressure and effectively solved any obstacle that came his way. He consistently delivered quality and goes above and beyond to ensure a positive outcome. He is honest and guides you throughout the process. I now consider him a dear friend having worked with us through a very difficult time. I would highly recommend him.”

No matter how many questions
I had Joshua always responded. If you are looking for an attorney that is caring, knowledgeable
and takes pride in his work then
Joshua Perlman is the person for you!”

“Josh is an incredible attorney. He got me above and beyond what I could have ever imagined for
my case. He guided me the entire time, allowed me to text him and was extremely responsive,
helpful, patient, and most of all: HONEST. I highly recommend Josh to everyone and anyone injured or in need of an attorney. Thank you Josh!”
Elisa H.
“I was in a tough spot and needed to find an incredibly professional, courteous and honest lawyer, Joshua Perlman was your man. I knew nothing about lawyers and Joshua was more than helpful and honest about all my dealings from the first phone conversation. Not only was he professional but he was extremely down to earth and caring. It is not every day you find yourself an attorney who truly cares. He was there to defend me from the beginning, all the way until the payout. He was quick to respond to all of my millions of questions. I continue to thank Joshua Perlman for being amazing
at his defense of me. Take my advice, go with
Joshua Perlman and you’ll be happy you did”
