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.

Robert Ferris - Great Lawyer

Attorney Robert Ferris is a very knowledgeable, top of the line bar advocate. He knows how to get the job done and understands his way of law. Out of my experience with lawyers, he has been the most sincere and up front kind of lawyer. He is the type of lawyer you're looking for in any criminal case.... He will give you the best possible outcome.

Great Counsel

Attorney Ferris was there for me when I needed good, strong counsel. He was very well-versed with regard to laws certainly applicable to my case. He provided salient commentary alongside his advice - thus, making me feel quite at ease with his undertaking of my situation. I would definitely recomm...end him to those in need of strong representation.

Physical Therapist, MBA

Mr. Ferris was extremely helpful in providing me with information about a criminal matter of which I was falsely involved with. I had no idea what the legal implications were and he offered some excellent thoughts in how to handle it while at the same time helping me to understand how the law works ...in this regard. I was extremely worried as it could have affected my ability to earn a living. He discussed the process and generally made me feel more reassured. He was appropriately aggressive on researching legal matters related to the case and worked well with another criminal lawyer I was working with. He was always prompt in returning my calls which also gave me greater reassurance in this case.

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.
