Best Lawyer In the Country

Guy was my lawyer in a difficult divorce. He got me through some incredibly hard days and never let me settle for anything less than what he thought was fair and right. He is honest, extremely knowledgable, tough when he needs to be and always prepared. He also represented me in an alimony case that ...went to trial and he was a genius litigator. In both cases the outcome exceeded my expectations and my settlement was much higher than I could have ever anticipated. I give Guy the highest recommendation possible.

The Best

If the unthinkable happened again, I would never hire anyone but Guy Ferro to represent me. Furthermore, I would encourage any of my children, the 3 people I care most about in the world, to use Guy if they ever found themselves facing the terrible prospect of divorce. Why? Because he minimizes the d...amage. I wanted to move on with my life and start repairing my psyche, my children, my friendships, and all the other aspects of my life that are good and important to me as soon as possible. Why spend years and unnecessary money focused on prolonging a battle needlessly? Guy is professional, efficient, experienced, respected and well connected in the world of family law, probably one of the smartest and most intuitive people I know, and ethical. In my first meeting with him, Guy answered many questions, but two things he said were important: one, he can’t make my (then ex) husband not an a%#hole, and two, he said when people sell a house they don’t hesitate to pay a realtor 5%- or $50,000 per million dollars of house. And, that realtor went to school how long to become licensed? It didn’t take me long to realize that as a percentage of the financial and emotional capital involved, his fee would be a bargain. Guy protected my children from becoming pawns and assured their educations were provided for. Guy told me when it was time to stop negotiating and time to settle, because further fighting would only cost more money. Guy told me when I was being emotional and that it wasn’t his job to deal with that. The people in Guy’s office are responsive and nice. Guy is tough as nails and will not back down from any lawyer your spouse has. Guy maximized the amount of money I got. In my divorce I maintained my dignity and came out of it ready to get on with my life, thanks to hiring Guy. The best family lawyer in America.

Guy was my divorce lawyer. He was conscientious, hard working, thoughtful and very competent. It was a difficult case that lasted over five years with a win for me after a long struggle. I can not say enough good things about him. Not only is he a great lawyer but a kind and caring human being. Any c...lient would be lucky to have Guy as their lawyer.

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.
