We will use Mr. Ferguson again should there be a need.

We were very satisfied with Mr. Ferguson in helping us handle a legal matter. He came recommended to us and we pass that recommendation forward. He was very thorough in letting us know the steps needed to take and what to expect with each step. He also let us know the choices we could make rather tha...n just offer one solution.

Posted by Matthew | November 22, 2013 | Child Custody

Best lawyer I've worked with, ever.

Came in at the 11th hour to represent me in my child custody case, even though I live in another state. He keeps me informed through emails and phone calls. He represents me in all hearings and other proceedings, despite my inability to be there personally. He listens to my wants and concerns and ...provides valuable opinions. I am very fortunate to have found him to represent me.

A cut above the rest

John Ferguson Jr. is honest , polite, empathetic and professional. John treats people with respect, communicates well, and is the general antithesis of bad lawyers. John has what can not be taught in law school. He is a good person first and then applies his trade as a lawyer. John has the capac...ity to understand complex situations and knows that being approachable and honest is the best way to be an outstanding lawyer.

John Ferguson an angel from heavan

John Ferguson is the most generous, kind, loyal person I know. He helped me since the day I met him, and continues to be my attorney to this day. In every instance he is there for me 24/7. He is classy, kind,a true gentleman in every sense of the word. This attorney was a blessing from heaven when I ...needed a miracle and continues to be that every day.He is intelligent, knowledgeable, and very efficient in his work.

You can't do better then John Ferguson!

I was so delightfully impressed with John Ferguson, after having had so many disappointing experiences with attorneys on my sons behalf I did not have a very high expectation. Mr. Ferguson was a refreshing and dramatic contrast to ALL the other attorneys involved in my sons issues. The level of c...ommitment, depth of perspective, professional demeanor, attention to detail; was superior to any experience we have had in the lengthy history of association with attorneys in Northern Michigan. Truly an impressive person!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
