I remember when Mr. Perkins took my case I was so unsure how it would go far as my case Mr. Perkins ask me in his office the first day we met , he ask me to tell him what happen so we when over everything so Mr. Perkins told me he was gone to handle it in the hearing , so that day came he did what he said he was gone to do, it went so good that he caught the guy and his brother in lies , he beat my case and they in up gone to jail for lieing on me. That man was a real person & attorney,I know he is missed.I remember what you said that day to me you said gone home and be with your family and enjoy your Christmas. So Thank you Mr. Attorney Sam Perkins. P.S. the way I found out he had died I was telling my friend about him because he needed a good lawyer and he told me that he had died. That tell you how people know who is who good lawyer. He already knew who to get and who he wanted to have Attorney:Sam Perkins.
May you Rest In Peace as you live in Paradise! I am honored to have known such a great soul and man! You took me on as a client and become a mentoring figure to me. He was very inspiring and motivating. I called him Da Suave Attorney because he was such a smooth dude. He will be definitely be missed and was very much appreciated by me. Love always Salandria
My Beloved friend I will always remember you and how you got me through Criminal Law! You were a dear friend and you will be in my heart ofrecer. RIP my brother!
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of "Sam". I worked with Sam for many years at Juvenile Court. Sam always had the time to say hello and shake your hand. I had the privilege of watching Sam practice before the magistrates and advocate and defend children at Juvenile Court for years. Sam was very passionate and he cared about the children and families he represented in Shelby County. I'm going to miss Sam's positive attitude and and friendship. Rest in peace my friend. I'll see you on the other side.

Sam,what can I say? I can never speak of you in past tense. You are loved and sorely missed. I will never forget the day we met in 1964 in Saginaw, Michigan. I am thankful for the times we shared! My prayers are for your children, extended family and friends, that God grants peace and comfort during this most difficult time. I will end this condolence with 3 words I heard you say many times. "In a minute!"

And you will be there,when we get there. So, we have come to thank God and praise God for the life of a man who was both great and good, and whose spirit will never die. Congratulation, Sam. We'll see you in the morning. Dr. Daniel E. Scott.. Southfield, MI

Attorney Samuel Perkins was a beautiful, intelligent, kind and compassionate giant. I was grateful to complete an internship with him through Juvenile Court. Attorney Perkins provided so many opportunities to learn all the facets of law and life beyond Juvenile Court. Our adventures also include Adult Criminal Court, 201 Poplar, and also Federal Court. And I find myself constantly quoting and referencing his legal and life lessons. Proud to have been able to learn and experience one of "The Greats"... as amazing as he was... Attorney Perkins respected and appreciated everyone... such a joy and privilege... Rest Well Tall Man ... head and shoulders above the rest in so many beautiful ways... Praying and God Bless ...Sharon D. Gipson, Esq.
