Experience that matters and compassion that counts **COVID-19: Yes, we are open! Call or email today - virtual consultations available.**

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.

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.

Great Counsel

I am extremely grateful to Attorney Ferris for the hands-on and overall amazing representation. He handled my very stressful situation in the best way possible and gave me ease and comfort throughout the whole process. He communicates efficiently and in a timely manner which was very helpful for me i...n the situation, I was in. I would with no doubt recommend Attorney Ferris to anyone who needs strong representation.

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.
