Better Get

“Better get yourself a good lawyer” is a phrase that you hear the minute someone finds themselves in a situation of some legal seriousness. The stakes are usually high as are the related levels of emotional angst. That’s why there’s such an emphasis on the word “good”. Its inclusion says that it i...s “go” time and messing around with anyone that isn’t top shelf, is foolish. I say all of this from the vantage of personal experience, as I was recently involved in an ugly litigation against an individual who had extreme aversions to fairness, reason and the truth. I’m not going to get into the details of what was a very difficult time in my life but what I will say is that I shudder to think what it would have been like had I not retained Leonard Ference to be my lawyer. Mr. Ference wasn’t just my legal counsel; he was my anchor and my light during some very dark, stormy days. When I couldn’t think straight because I was filled with outrage at the unscrupulous antics of my adversary, Leonard would see me through with sage and savvy advice. Against an extremely hostile opponent that had a penchant for distorting every fact, I found myself more than once wanting to just give up and walk away (to my own fiscal and emotional detriment). It was Leonard who would calmly explain the situation in a way that was clear, intelligent and hope-filled. It was Leonard that championed my cause and it was Leonard that gave me reason to believe — every single day. Through his help and guidance, I would eventually win my case and for that I am forever grateful. Leonard Ference is a special breed of individual and lawyer; he actually cares a great deal about his clients and their overall well-being. The bottom-line of all this is that when someone says something about what you “better get”, know that Leonard Ference is a real good man and damn good lawyer. This recommendation comes from the heart and I’m thrilled that I had Leonard Ference in my corner; I suspect that you will be too.
