Thank you!

Matthew was well versed in the law and he conveyed it to us in a manner that we understood. He was clear, concise and left us feeling very confident. No one wants to be in a situation where they need a lawyer, but we were thankful to have him and would highly recommend him to others.

Gets right to the point

Matt, Zach, and the entire Ferder team were there for me on time, with straightforward advice and information. We had to work through Covid and Matt never missed, or was late for, an appointment. In the end, what should have been 60-90 days in jail, was reduced to community service and probation.... A “miracle” outcome if you ask me. Thanks Matt & Team!!

Extremely Knowledgeable With The Law & Conducts A Benevolent Attitude

I hired Paul Ferder for various reasons regarding a long list of criminal driving charges and a felony assault charge that was ultimately dropped to a misdemeanor harassment to top it off. When I hired Paul, I didn’t realize that I was getting a package deal. The best package deal. Matt represented m...e a number of times in court and his knowledge of the law and my case was exquisite. The communication these guys had with each other was outstanding. Matt made me feel so relaxed and safe when I had to stand before the judge with my “victim” in the court room. I was a nervous wreck. His input on my case was exactly what I needed to feel confident I had made the right choice to hire Paul and his team. Matt studied my case closely and ultimately he is the one to thank for pushing to drop the felony assault charge down to a misdemeanor harassment. He was extremely well spoken with his knowledge of the law and the compassion he exalted towards me and my case left me with no choice to say that it is my pleasure to give him my highest recommendation for the services he provides. I am beyond grateful for what he did for me.
