The Law Offices of Joseph J. Perry, P.C.

"Joe came highly recommended to me as a lawyer who specializes in reviewing literary agency agreements. I can see why! He's responsive, personable, caring, and as an agent himself, he brought tons of additional expertise to the process. Looking forward to working with him again soon!"

"Joe is responsive and kind and completely put my anxiety about negotiating contracts at ease! He recently reviewed over a term sheet for a publishing contract for me and helped negotiate the financial terms. I hope to also use him for the contract review and negotiation process. I would definitely recommend working with him."

"I contacted Joe Perry after searching for a literary attorney online. His response time and willingness to explain how he could help me was truly impressive, and I feel lucky that I found him without a personal referral. He drafted a collaborative agreement for my coauthor and me and was very patient with us during the process. He helped us get complete with a mutually supportive agreement in an amicable manner so we can proceed with the creative part of finishing our book. This was very valuable to me and I'm preparing to do more work with him. I appreciate his high level of skill as well as his personal demeanor. I highly recommend contacting him if you need a literary attorney or agent."

"I am a new author and reached out to Joe for help with a publishing contract. He was very patient, went over the contract with me and explained his suggestions, comments and changes so I understood all the details. He made me feel comfortable, was responsive and is very knowledgeable. What stood out most is that I knew he had my best interest in mind. He cares. I highly recommend him. If you are an author looking for an attorney, look no further, Joe is that person."

"If you're considering hiring Joe, I can tell you from first-hand experience, just hire him - you won't regret it! There's a reason why he consistently has 5-star ratings. As a first--time author, I hired Joe to review a publishing contract offer I had just received. I found Joe immensely helpful. Not only was he extremely professional and knowledgeable, he was patient, cordial, and accommodating, explaining the publishing industry and copyright laws, as well as the nuances of these laws, in ways that were easy to understand and grasp. From the level of effort and service he provided throughout our collaboration, it was clear to me that he prioritized customer service and satisfaction over fees. What I'm most grateful for is that Joe was able to tease out and decipher some really critical terms of the publishing contract offer that were not easily understood because of the legalese in which they were written. These terms were deal-breakers for me, and had I not hired Joe, I would have unknowingly agreed to them. His patience, eye for detail, critical analysis, combined with his deep expertise, guided the conversations I had with publisher, and ultimately clarified the terms of the contract that were in question. After Joe helped me understand all the terms of the contract, I ultimately decided to not move forward with the contract, but am incredibly thankful that I didn't. I would have certainly regretted signing the contract at some point when I realized the implications. After I decided to not sign the contract, Joe also drafted of an NDA release agreement that helped establish a mutually favorable path forward for me and the publisher. If I have any further publishing legal needs, Joe is going to be the first attorney I reach out to!"
