- Client Testimonial -
"Mr. Perper represented me in my workman compensation case, which was just recently settled. Marc is an amazing attorney!! He always took the time to answer any and all questions that I presented to him over the years and was clear and concise.
During the time I had the privilege of watching him in the courtroom here in Kankakee, Illinois many times. Of course, I was not his only client so watching him with others was a real hoot!! He moved in and around the courtroom with other clients as well as opposing attorneys with great skill and charisma.
Of course, many kudos’ to his assistant, Connie. She was a great help to me also over the years.
It was my pleasure to meet and work with Marc. I give him the highest of marks and would recommend him and your firm to anyone I can."

"Hello Mr. Horwitz. I received my settlement check today and it could not have come at a better time. I want to say thank you for assigning my case to Mr. Mark Perper. I could not have had better representation anywhere. He is an excellent attorney. Mr. Perper was always there to answer all of my questions, no matter how many times I asked them. But what I will always be greatful for was his fatherly advice. On the days where I thought my world was gonna crash, I could always count on Mr. Perper for some fatherly advice. I truly believe had it not been for Mr. Perper, I would have gotten myself into some serious trouble. I will always remember Mr. Perper as being a great attorney and a kind and caring man.
As for his secretary Connie, she is a saint! Connie is a huge asset to your law office. I know I was not always the nicest person when talking to Connie. But being the true professional that she is, she never took my sarcasim personal. She always showed me nothing but respect. What a sweet lady.
Again, thank you for everything. Please forward this e-mail on to Connie and Mr. Perper for me."
Sincerely,
T. Cellini
