TOTALLY DISSATISFIED

I hired Anders Ferrington to handle my divorce. I paid an initial retainer fee. He was extremely slow in responding to calls, text messages and e-mails and eventually stopped responding and I had to hire another attorney to handle my case. When he occasionally did return my calls he was very short wi...th me. What "work" he did for me was extremely sloppy (typos, left out information that should have been included and forgot to remove info that was discussed to remove). I would NOT recommend him to anyone. He is very unprofessional and does not represent his clients well. He also talks about his clients on his Facebook page - I find this offensive and unprofessional. Don't waste your time on Anders Ferrington. Find a professional attorney.

Doesn't follow up after he gets his money.

I hired him for a divorce case. I gave him $1200 for retainer. After filing papers he stop answering emails and then blocked calls. Now I'm having to hire another lawyer to complete what I paid him for. Don't hire him if you need an actual lawyer.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Paid him the retainer, he did nothing, promised refund, never refunded.

We signed a contract with Ferrington for legal services with a retainer of $750, which we paid in advance. The only thing he did was establish that he was our lawyer with the corporation we were required to negotiate a contract with (Entergy easement). He did NOTHING else, for 6 weeks. When I finally... contacted him asking for the help we'd paid for, he stated that he'd sent a letter to the corporation but it must have been "lost in the mail." A few more phone calls and he then sent me a hastily prepared letter that was full of typos, grammar problems, and material misrepresentation of the facts, which I rejected. We wound up negotiating with the corporation ourselves, which was a burden and not in our best interest, but we could not afford to pay another lawyer's retainer. Ferrington agreed in emails and in phone calls to refund our money, but never sent a check, at one point claiming he had sent a check but it must have been "lost in the mail". He is an unprofessional lawyer who did not represent our best interests and admits he owes a refund, which he refuses to pay.

Mr Ferrington returned my call right away. He was very professional and very helpful. I WILL be seeking his expertise on this matter. Thank you Mr Anders Ferrington.

Criminal defense

I hired him, but the gaming agency pulled the ticket and cleared it all up. Great guy but slow on calling you back. Also I was told by another attorney that I did not hire that I could sue the gaming agency and the employer. He refuses to further help or get back with me. So I paid for absolutely not...hing.

  • 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.
