Posted by anonymous | May 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Got paid to do ZERO work.

My boyfriend had a probation hearing. Only reason we hired an attorney was because the judge insisted that everyone got one. An associate showed up for his hearing instead of Mr. Ferguson. We informed him about how his probation officer would always reschedule his meetings because she had better thin...gs to do, schedule home visits when she knew he was at work and then never come back. He missed ONE month because of a work schedule conflict and she violated him 2 months later...2 days before his next visit. The associate never mentioned those facts and he also never even tried to use us as witnesses to back up everything my boyfriend said. Now he's in jail and the only communication with his "attorney" is through a receptionist who can't explain anything because she's a receptionist. Would of been better off just pleading guilty. At least then I would still have my $1500. It amazes me that they can get murderers and rapists off but a missed probation meeting because of a verifiable work schedule is too complicated for them.

Simply not true and she knows it. She's not happy that her boyfriend lied to her about what he had NOT done on probation. He had a very serious sex crime that he had plead to. He failed to maintain contact and wouldn't go to his sex offender classes, among other things. As she said, he told her he "just missed a month" meaning his monthly meeting with his PO, no problem, easy fix. However, that was not the issue, his problem was different, testimony from family wasn't changing his problems and he went to jail. She was advised what the next step was to get him out in 60 days. Now she wants a refund. Great way to get one, posting an unfair review. UPDATE: SHE JUST CALLED BACK AND TRIED TO HIRE ME AGAIN FOR HER BOYFRIEND. I KID YOU NOT!!

hired him for my son

I know Mr. Ferguson from his reputation as one of the best criminal defense attorney's in TN through fellow lawyers here in Nashville. When my son got into trouble, I hired him and he did everything he promised to protect my son from his own stupidity. If your child is in trouble, you need to hire ...Mr. Ferguson.

Everything was on the line....best possible outcome!

Very thorough! Someone was always available to answer my questions and tend to my concerns. I was facing charges that would have cost me my job and professional license. Mr. Ferguson and staff even worked with my employer to help keep me employed while my case was resolved. Thank you all involved for... helping save my job, career and my family!!

Highly Recommended!

I was represented by Mr. Ferguson for a criminal defense case and a DUI case. He was very knowledgeable and did everything for the best outcome on both of my cases. I'm glad to say that I had a great outcome in both cases. Mr. Claiborne Ferguson and Mr. Andrew Plunk were just wonderful. Both of th...em and their staff were very understanding and very helpful. I highly recommend this law firm!

Highly Recommend Mr. Ferguson for DUI/DWI

After doing lots of research on finding a DUI lawyer, his peers highly recommended Mr. Ferguson. He came through with everything he said and wants best for the client. He has your back and I'm not sure any other lawyer in Memphis could help me out the way he did. Getting a DUI is a very long slow pro...cess so you have to be patient (about 8 months) but Mr. Ferguson did everything in is power to get it taken off my record.I highly recommend anyone who is issued a DUI to hire Mr. Ferguson.
