If you are facing criminal charges, Perlet & Shiner, P.A. is the firm to choose. Why is criminal defense important? No matter how big or small, any state or federal charge can have devastating consequences. An arrest can result in a criminal record, which can impact your ability to obtain employment, housing, loans, child custody, and more.
When law enforcement officials suspect that an individual is using property or assets in a criminal enterprise or civil fraud, they could seize those goods, properties, and monies. Agencies can legally seize assets as soon as their application for forfeiture is approved by the court - even before a trial is scheduled.
Having a boat and being on the water is a way of life in South Florida. With thousands of people boating year-round, the number of BUI arrests continues to rise. Boating Under the Influence, or BUI, as it is commonly referred to, is the nautical equivalent to DUI. Although there are many similarities in the ways BUIs and DUIs are investigated and prosecuted, there are also some very important differences between the two.

Mr Shiner is an incredible attorney, he is kind & compassionate about your circumstances & goes the extra mile to give you the best outcome possible. He had recommended a work program when I was serving my sentence in jail & it was the best advice he could ever have given me. I was able to work everyday & it kept me mentally & physically safe. His assistant Merchi is also an asset to his practice. She helped me with all my concerns & worries & always seemed to have a calming way in doing so . As much as my experience was the most difficult thing I ever had to do somehow Mr. Shiner made it as bearable

My experience with Marc Shiner was awesome. I had a legal problem and Marc eased me through the process working diligently on my case. He kept me informed the whole process of anything and was very open and available to any questions or concerns I had. Marc was able to get my case dismissed, I am very happy i chose Marc to help me. His office and staff that work with him are just as great. If you ever get into some trouble Marc is who you want to call.

I contracted Marc Shiner on a situation where my son was charged with two felonies. Marc Shiner went above and beyond in handling my son’s case. He was very response to my calls. He was very easy to speak to and really wanted to learn about my son and the case. The result, I believe, was an outcome as good as anyone could have achieved. Marc Shiner was genuine with his words and he kept updated every step of the way with what could happen and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. He showed legitimate care for my son and the case. I would highly recommend him for your legal needs

Best attorney I could have asked for. Marc Shiner went above and beyond to protect my interests and help me through an extremely difficult time that lasted 3 years. Merchi was always available to me to answer my questions and put me in touch with MarC whenever I needed. All of the members of this firm were fantastic but especially Merchi. They are lucky to have her!

Were do I begin... I was put into a situation that I never in a million years
would have thought I would be in, life's funny twists. Thank heaven my uncle was aware of the magnificent work and staff at Perlet & Shiner. I worked with Heidi who has the ability to listen intently and understand what a stressful time you may be going through. Heidi and her staff worked quickly and decisively to resolve my case with a most satisfying result. I could not be more pleased to recommend a more qualified law firm that truly cares for their clients. PN

Mr. Marc Shiner and his superb support staff (Merchi, Janine, Kim) are the most professional and expert law firm with which I've ever had interaction. They have outstanding facilities, and proven successful experience to ensure the best possible resolution to any client's issues. They provide prompt, cordial and attentive-caring service. All attorneys in the firm have impeccable and universally respected resumes and credentials. If I ever need a legal representation again in the Palm Beach area, this is the law firm for me.

I hired Heidi Perlet to represent my brother on a misdemeanor simple battery charge. After researching and contacting several attorneys with criminal defense experience in the Palm Beach County area, I chose Ms. Perlet because she responded to my query herself, on a weekend and got right to business reviewing the facts of my brother’s case.
Working with Heidi was a pleasure: my brother and I found her to be a good listener, patient, down-to-earth and thorough. Communication from Heidi and her legal assistant, Janine Hernandez, was exceptional. I appreciate the outstanding legal work Heidi did
