About:
Attorney Seth Peritz has been a practicing Criminal Defense Attorney since 2016. Moving to the Northern Virginia Area after graduating from prestigious William and Mary Law School, he began his career working in a highly sought-after position with the Loudoun County Public Defender’s Office. In 2017, he left to become a private Criminal Defense Attorney at a small criminal defense and immigration firm. While representing criminal defendants on all types of charges, many of whom were noncitizen immigrants, he learned the importance of taking a holistic approach to representation, including understanding a client’s background, career, goals, family, community, and how a criminal charge impacts them individually. In 2018, Matthew Crowley recruited Seth to work at a firm where he was the then Managing Partner of the Criminal Division. Seth began as an associate and quickly became the firm’s youngest Senior Attorney and a rising star. Seth exclusively represented clients in criminal defense cases, focusing mainly on DWI/DUI defense, drug cases, theft cases, domestic violence cases, and violent crimes. In 2020, Matthew and Seth began Crowley Peritz Law. This allows them to represent fewer clients and focus on each case even more effectively. Seth genuinely enjoys working with each of his clients and getting to understand their goals. Seth’s sincere interest shows up not just in his courtroom results but in how much his clients like him and make personal referrals to him.

"Had the pleasure of consulting with Crowley about a potential case. He was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive about my questions. Fortunately I don’t think i’ll need him this time, but god forbid I do, he will be the first person I call!"

"I was visiting Virginia when I was charged with a crime that could have jeopardized my future career and led to up to 5 years in prison. After consulting with Mr. Crowley, he assured me he would fight for me — and that's exactly what he did. Thanks to his dedication, my charges were dropped at the first hearing. If you're looking for a lawyer who will truly fight for you and not just give you empty promises, I highly recommend this office. Thanks again, Mr. Crowley!"

"I can't give Seth Peritz enough stars and credit for securing a reduction to my original charge. Seth is very responsive, professional and committed to securing the best situation under the law for his clients. After reviewing dash cam footage and everything else it didn't look good for me heading into my court date but, Seth pulled it all together and negotiated the best deal possible with the Commonwealth's attorney given the situation. I am truly grateful and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a great lawyer."
