I sincerely highly recommend Mariam Ferguson. I hired her to help with a legal issue, and the service was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive and always took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, ensuring I never felt lost. Her team's professionalism and attention to detail re...sulted in a very favorable outcome for my case. I am so grateful for their expertise and support during a stressful time.

Unfortunate circumstances occur in life sometimes, and this was my particular situation where I found myself on the criminal side of the law. I went through two other attorneys before finding Mariam, and she was such a blessing to my situation. Mariam was very empathetic to my situation, and made sur...e I understood every step in my case. Her and her office was a blessing to my situation, and I am so grateful for them.

Case dismissed

I was arrested for DV/threats and intimidation after an argument with a family member. The whole incident was ridiculous. I started searching for an attorney and was referred to Ferguson Hill by another attorney. Had a consultation and hired them. They had a lot of back and forth with the prosecution..., who initially wanted restitution, classes etc. I submitted security camera footage of the incident. Miriam viewed it and messaged me back saying she was going to request a dismissal. After waiting for the prosecutor to review the video Miriam got back with me with good news. They had viewed the video and conceded that a prosecution would fail. My case was dismissed. Ferguson Hill also represented me in court without me having to be there which was a bit less stress. Now I can get back to my life without this hanging over my head.
