Going up against the State can be like facing a boxing Goliath; never walk into this fight unprepared or under-matched. Never let police make false accusations, never let others bend the truth, or explain your story out of context.

Happy Client

Attorney Ferris is a great attorney. He is very professional, diligent in his work, and achieved my goal. Had it not been for him, my life would have been much harder. But, thanks to Attorney Ferris's great work, greater service, and most importantly his dedication to my cause, I am a FREE, happy ...man. Thank you Attorney Ferris, you are a lifesaver.

Excellent Service - Strong Expertise

I was faced with a very unfair and perilous case where I was falsely accused of a rather serious complaint. Attorney Ferris came to the rescue in an expert and compassionate way. He was patient in explaining and advising me, and defended the case successfully in Northampton District Court to have it ...fully dismissed. If you have encountered legal trouble and need expert advice, I strongly recommend Robert A. Ferris.

When times seem tough

I won't go into great detail with my case, but what I can say is there was a time in my life that I was just not having a good day, everything seemed as nothing was going my way. Well that night, unfortunately I'm made a mistake that involved the authorities. Throughout the time I was going through o...ur judicial system, all seemed hopeless, there was nobody that would even believe me. I got lucky to have had my Lawyer Robert A. Ferris Esq. He was someone that believed me, and did everything in his power to get court system to find the truth. So, here I am today with my freedom and rights all together, so thank you Attorney Ferris for everything you've done for me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
