You want to pay for just another lawyer or really have a person who is truly on your side

I was skeptical at first as we all are with lawyers. Going in knowing its bad thats why we need one in the first place. This wasnt my first go round with lawyers and court. Let me say this though, this was my first time I didnt look at my lawyer as a lawyer or just one after my money. Amy is all in. ...She gives you her honest opinion but at the same time truly listens to yours. At times she is upfront even if we dont want to hear the truth we need to and she isnt afraid of letting you know how it is. Kind of hard to take in if she was just your lawyer but she wasnt. She has passion that most doesnt have. You look at her more as a friend you grew up with. That is how she makes you feel because she becomes so involved with your case youd believe you were her only client. I could go on and on how pleased I am with her representing me in my case but ill keep it short. If I ever or anybody I know ever need a lawyer I'm telling them call Amy. She likes emails over phone calls but overall its more efficient and effective. I couldnt be more happier. Honesty, trust, and undeniably concerned. Thats Amy. Thats my lawyer.

Responsive and Professional

When Amy works with me, her professional knowledge quickly help me identify the case and offer the possible solution. The whole case last only one month, however, everytime we exchange our opinions, we can get efficient solution for the "next step". Amy is excellent professional attorney I never met ...before.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Ferguson represented me in a criminal matter. Ms. Ferguson was easy to reach and always responsive to my questions and concerns. I have never dealt with the court system and was extremely nervous about the whole process. Ms. Ferguson was easy to work with and put all of my worries to rest. In the... end she was able to have my case dismissed. I highly recommend Ms. Ferguson.

Highly Recommend Amy E Ferguson

I recommend Amy E. Ferguson as an attorney to handle any legal matter without reservation. Ms.Ferguson is class personified and a true asset to the field of law and particularly to the Dayton community. I was charged with two serious misdemeanors in March 2015, one which carried the penalty of jail t...ime. I have never been in any legal trouble and was extremely nervous regarding the outcome of my case. I was recommend Ms.Ferguson through a family friend. After our initial meeting Ms.Ferguson remained in constant communication with me throughout the entire legal process, which assured me that she truly had my best interest in mind. Ms.Ferguson immediately requested documentation supporting my case as a reasonable law abiding citizen that experienced a lapse in judgement during my encounter with the authorities. Ms.Ferguson met with the prosecutor and after hours of deliberations expelled both charges during the pretrial. Ms.Ferguson told me that if the prosecutor had not dismissed the charges she was prepared to go to trial. I have no prior experience with attorneys, but in the future I will look no further than Ms.Ferguson. She is passionate, dedicated, and extremely knowledgable in her field. My family and I are forever indebted to Ms.Ferguson and her legal expertise.

Professional and Efficient

Ms. Ferguson was my attorney in a case in which I was indicted a few months ago. She was professional and efficient in her handling of my legal matter, and was able to obtain a favorable resolution for me. I highly recommend her.
