Having lived in Genesee County for over 20 years, Clint Perryman brings more than 30 years of combined legal experience to criminal defense cases in Flint and the surrounding Mid-Michigan area, along with recognition from both the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 in Michigan and the National Association of Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40. His practice at 503 S Saginaw St in Flint operates with a direct-access policy: clients can call, text, or email Perryman himself, and no case gets assigned to another attorney. The firm handles criminal defense, personal injury, and estate planning, with 24/7 email available for confidential consultations and extended hours six days a week.
Practice Areas
Criminal defense is the centerpiece of the practice, covering a broad spectrum of charges. Domestic abuse defense, driver license restoration, drug crimes, drunk driving, and expungement make up a significant portion of the caseload. Federal crimes, misdemeanors, sex crimes, theft charges, violent crimes, weapon charges, and white collar crimes are also handled.
Driver license restoration cases deserve particular note. Michigan has specific administrative processes governing when a person whose license has been revoked can apply for reinstatement. These proceedings have procedural requirements and timelines that differ from standard court appearances, and experienced representation improves outcomes.
Expungement proceedings allow qualifying individuals to have certain convictions set aside, with significant practical effects on employment background checks, professional licensing, and housing applications. Michigan expanded its expungement eligibility rules in recent years, which means some people who were previously ineligible may now qualify.
Personal injury cases are also handled, providing accident victims with legal representation for their claims. Estate planning rounds out the services, including wills and trusts for clients seeking to organize their affairs.
Attorney Profiles
Clint Perryman graduated from Alma College and Thomas M. Cooley Law School and has accumulated more than 30 years of combined legal experience. He has been a Genesee County resident for over 20 years, which gives him a working familiarity with the courts, judges, and prosecutors in the local criminal justice system that an out-of-area attorney cannot match.
He has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Michigan by the National Trial Lawyers, a designation based on performance criteria rather than self-nomination. The National Association of Trial Lawyers also named him to its Top 40 Under 40, recognizing accomplishment among younger attorneys on a national scale.
The firm operates on a direct-access model. Clients communicate with Perryman personally by call, text, or email. Cases are not reassigned to associates or junior attorneys. For clients dealing with serious criminal charges, this accessibility can matter significantly when questions arise between court appearances.
Location and Service Area
The office is located at 503 S Saginaw St #1426, Flint, MI 48502. The phone number is 810-498-2370. Office hours run Monday through Thursday from 8AM to 5:30PM and Friday from 8AM to 4PM. Saturday hours are available from 10AM to 4PM. For clients who need confidential communication outside of office hours, 24/7 email is available.
The firm serves Genesee County, Mid-Michigan, and the broader Flint area. The 20-year residency in Genesee County means this is not a firm that visits the area; it is rooted here.
Client Focus
The direct-access model addresses a common frustration with legal representation: clients often find that after hiring an attorney, they end up dealing primarily with staff or are passed to associates. At Clint W. Perryman PC, the attorney clients hire is the attorney who handles their case and the person they can reach directly.
The extended hours, including Saturday availability and 24/7 email, reflect the reality that legal problems do not respect business hours. Someone arrested on a Friday night or a client who works during the week can still reach out and receive a response.
For clients with prior convictions, the firm handles expungement proceedings under Michigan law. Given the expansion of eligibility under recent Michigan reforms, some individuals who previously had no path to expungement may now have one, and the firm is equipped to assess that eligibility.
