Did not show up for court
The first time I hired John Ferguson he forgot to show up for my sentencing in court. I called him to ask why he hadn’t arrived yet and he had compeletely forgotten about it. The second time I hired John Ferguson I paid him to represent me in a hearing in Michigan where he was practicing at the time....
I did miss court and I still sorry about that. I apologized to my client and the court and that was the end of it. The court did not hold it against me or my client. The reason you know things ended well for my client is that he hired me to handle another matter. We went to court on that issue and the court ruled against my client, which happens from time to time. That ended the representation. I respectfully disagree that I owed a refund or ignored him while I moved to Colorado. I referred him to another attorney for future work, should he decide to pursue something else. I accept that my client feels bad about missing that court hearing, but simply won't refund money on the risk that a client will leave a bad review.

Not prepared in court for motions, so an important motion denied, resulting in additional costs and problems. Charged for tasks he didn't perform. Never seemed to understand our iss...
This is false. Thinking about the cases I had in the last year, none of my cases fit the facts as stated in this review.
"Not only is John a great attorney, but he is a great and fascinating person to know. He understands the law deeply, and is able to explain and dissect it in digestible ways so that his clients know they are getting what they really need. I endorse this attorney."
"John Ferguson is an outstanding Northern Michigan general practice attorney. He is known for his professionalism, courtesy, and patience. He provides effective expert legal representation in practice areas such as criminal defense, family issues, child custody and adoption, small business law, real estate planning and property."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is knowledgeable, and talented in court. Clients would be lucky to have him as their lawyer."
