Perigo, Jerry E. - Edgar & Perigo, P.C.

It's sad how bad this parenting coordinator is. Everything said here is true or easily believable. He is inaccurate in his reports to the judge and once said no corrections are made. Also judges call him with 'questions' where he can freely give his opinions. This man is not a PC; he is a social activist or purchased agent - I don't know which. The law is not his concern and the judges are his puppets. I have been involved with him now for over five years and can't get him away from my kids. It's horrific but as you will find, there are no ways out in Tulsa County. more

What you read about this psychopath is true. We have had the same experience with this jerk. He lies. He puts children in dangerous situation. He makes threats to destroy you. He's not crazy. He's evil incarnate. \r \r If you have had a similar experience with this rat, please email me at johnhandy52@yahoo dot com. Together we can bring him down. more

When we hired Perigo, we were under the assumption that he would be looking out for the best interest of the children. His reports bear no resemblance to what actually takes place in his office. We started secretly recording the sessions with him so we would have proof of his lies and suggest that if you are stuck with him, to do the same thing. He is not interested in facts. Perigo is someone whose perceived power has gone to his head. He wants you to believe that he has the power to destroy your life. Over the years that we had him ""trying"" to play God in our family, we have gotten to know several high ranking officals in the legal community socially. We hear the same thing over and over -- that EVERYONE in the legal community, (lawyers, judges, other PC's) know that he is huge problem but nobody knows what to do about him because he has immunity. One judge friend of ours told us that Perigo has a Napolean complex and that any time he perceives someone as smarter, better looking, taller, more powerful, etc., he gets his jollies by trying to elevate himself above that person and make their life hell. We were also told that Perigo is held up as the example when training PC's of what NOT TO BE. \r \r So if you are in the market for an honest PC (ie you don't plan to buy the man) run, don't walk in the opposite direction from this lunatic. \r \r If you've already been ensnaired by this tyrant, here's what Perigo doesn't want you to know: you don't HAVE to keep him. We got out from under his dictatorship. If he is blatantly lying about what goes on behind closed doors like he did with us, he was probably bought off by the other side. Simply go back to court and request another PC. (The other PC's know ALL about Perigo too, by the way.) Perigo and the side that bought him will fight you on it, but this is where the judges CAN do something and will send him slithering back under the rock from whence he came. more

If the Tulsa county Family Court system had a collective concience, Jerry Perigo would be an extreme embarrassment. Unforfunately, the court and a disturbing number of the attorneys who practice there do not. \r \r Jerry Perigo is guilty of odious crimes against minor children and their divorcing parents...crimes against humanity. \r \r He is easily bought by wealthy litigants and corrupt law firms that deliver an endless pipeline of court ordered referrals from corrupt judges looking for future employment when, in the very rare event that their conduct becomes sufficiently embarrasing, they are fired.\r \r As obnoxious as Jerry Perigo's flamboyantly abusive behavior (partially discribed in the preceeding commentaries) is, his most vile offense is that he preys upon and permanently damages minor childeren for his own personal financial gain and depraved ammusment. \r \r If you think Jerry cares about the devastation he and the shameless Tulsa family courts routinely inflict, look into his own family history. Talk to other victims of the courts and Jerry Perigo.\r \r Edmund Burke said: ""All that is required for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing."" \r \r There is not a single particpant in the Tulsa County Court System who has the character to do anything about these corrupt parenting coordinators, judges and attorneys. \r \r They all talk about it in private, but not one will step forward and start the cleanup. How can they be good, honest men and women of concience if they know about, but consistently ignore, the corruption. I know many of them and each is a self interested coward. \r \r There is a special place in hell for Jerry Perigo and all of those who tolerate his conduct. I am among those rooting for his expeditious arrival. In the best of circumstances, he'll be traveling in the company of the co-conspirators, with whom he contributes daily to the misery of the children of divorcing Tulsans. It will be an excellent start! more

Everything that has been written about this court ordered mediator has been experienced by us, too. As a woman, I was warned how to act in front of him by a female friend who also was forced to use Perigo. She told me to not even make eye contact with him, if at all possible. I understand what she meant now. Perigo acts like an angry, malicious, power mongering control freak who often acts close to violence when provoked in the least way. He acts like he hates everyone in the room, especially if you are a strong and assertive woman. He is particularly spiteful if you even try to politely voice an opinion which he perceives as bucking his authority. If you try to humbly stand up to him, he takes great offense as you are therefore jeopardizing his power position as the Alpha Male who actually relishes in the sick ""game"" that he is in complete control of your life, your livelihood and your future relationship with your children. Perigo acts like he is a woman-hater, who, however, doesn't act like he has much use for men either. He acts and looks miserable, as if he hates the world. It is no surprise to me or to my husband why he himself is divorced. I can't imagine Perigo allowing another mediator to try to help him in a similar situation as ours. Who needs God when you think you are God? Cons: He should be investigated and then disbarred! more

I was assigned to Mr Perigo, by the courts, for several issues between my ex and myself regarding our daughter. The final time we went, was because my ex had gotten drunk to the point of passing out while he had our daughter for the weekend. My ex was told that if Mr Perigo ever got another report of this happening, it was THEN that consequences would be administered. It is stated in our divorce decree that those things are not to happen while the child is present, so that, as far as I'm concerned was his warning....\r During the meeting, Mr Perigo called each of us down for ""pointing"" and warned that the next time either one of us pointed, the meeting was over. I used hand motions to convey a point and he slapped our folder closed and charged us for the full hour, we were only about 18 minutes into the meeting. If the pointing was a problem for him, petty at best...I would have expected to be told about it prior to the meeting and issued hand cuffs at the door, so that we didn't use hand movements for talking as most of the population does. I could have understood better if we were climbing over the table to claw each others eyes out, but we weren't being uncivil in the least, neither one of us. When the report of the meeting came to me via e-mail, the primary reason for the meeting, the being drunk in the presence of the child, was only sparcley discussed in the body of the report, not even mentioned in the outline of the main reasons for the meeting in the first place. Not being completely truthful on the reports that he submits to the Judge, was yet another issue. Another reason for the meeting was that there was NO contact betweeen my daughter and her dad until they got together for the weekends, he gave a resolution for more contact between my daugter and her dad, by suggesting that my daughter call her dad. Excuse me? Who is the adult here, and who should be fostering the relationship??? Not the child. Not a good resolution to that issue....and we paid him for that advice? This person seriously has me doubting where his best interests for the child are, it sure wasn't in my daughters' corner. Cons: the entire experience more

Husband went to Mr. Perigo as a parent coordinator in the hopes of getting some justice against an ex that doesn't care about their child. She doesn't pay her child support, never calls their son, has a man with 3 warrants against him for a fiance and she had just gotten a DUI and had her license suspended. Mr. Perigo saw nothing wrong with that. He still allowed her to keep her bi-weekly visitation with no consequences. This man is only sitting behind a desk for his paycheck! Cons: High Priced more
