Richard grew up in Mississippi before falling in love with Alabama and moving here for law school. An active member of the community and their church, Richard is now a true native of the great State of Alabama. Richard decided to start a divorce law firm in Huntsville because of the city's neat military and space history. Huntsville is known for the top tourist attraction in Alabama, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center where his son, Trey once went to Space Camp. The Huntsville Space and Rocket Center houses one of the world's largest collections of rockets and space memorabilia. Huntsville is also the home of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missle Command. Richard has said, "we just fell in love with the Rocket City, so we knew we wanted to open a divorce practice in Huntsville."

Five Star Reviews -- Recommend Richard to "anyone," for our Huntsville Divorce
Hiring Attorneys Richard and Christina Perry was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The Perry's and staff are very knowledgeable in their field and they treated me with the professional respect anyone would expect. The whole staff went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectations. I visited other law firms before prior to visiting Attorney Richard Perry, and he was the only attorney who gave me hope in my matter. The results he was able to achieve were exactly as he predicted. Mrs Christina was always so courteous and reassuring. She talked to me throughout the process and helped keep me calm and focused. Benjamin was also very pleasant to talk to and always made sure my questions were timely answered when the Perry's were busy in court. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer. You will not be disappointed and will definitely know you are cared for. I am very pleased with the results.
