I would Refer Jon Furgison to friends!

I Lost a large amount of money when an investment firm invested my money on a company being investigated for unethical practices. I hired Jon Furgison‘s firm to represent me and attempt to get my money back. In the end we were successful, but the important point is how professional, knowledgeable, an...d dedicated John Ferguson was during the time he represented me. I would Refer Jon Furgison to friends!

Highly competent lawyer and a very satisfied client

I had the unpleasant experience of losing a great deal of my earnings through a negligent investor. It was a misfortune I had blocked out of my mind for several years until I was referred to Jon Furgison. As a busy and traveling professional, I didn’t have a lot time and resources to do the leg work ...most attorneys require from you. From Day 1 Jon listened to me, guided me and made the process of collecting information and data seamless. Jon was honest and forthcoming about my case from the start. He guided me with a great deal of support, respect, knowledge and confidence throughout my case. I was extremely proud of the work Jon did on my behalf. He was able to successfully negotiate a favorable settlement in a short period of time. I highly recommend Jon and his team for anyone seeking counsel from an experienced and honest attorney in investment fraud.

Best litigator

Mr Furgison has represented me on several cases and has always gotten me top dollar. I am so pleased that I would never use anyone else for any legal issues that may arise.

Excellent experience working with Jon Furgison

We originally contacted Jon Furgison in August of 2013 to discuss our situation and to see if he thought we had a case. We were instantly impressed with his legal knowledge, demeanor, patience and compassion for our what we were trying to pursue. We ultimately hired Mr. Furgison as our legal counse...l for the case on a contingency basis and having never gone through a legal preceding, this was all very new to me and my family. Once hired, Mr. Furgison filed our claim and started to work with opposing counsel to try and reach a settlement. When it was clear that a settlement wasn't going to be reached, we started to prepare for FINRA arbitration. Mr. Furgison took care of everything behind the scenes (court filings, discussions with arbitrators and opposing counsel, obtaining an expert witness, etc.) all while keeping us informed of the progress and helping us prepare for the arbitration. Again, never having gone through this we didn't know the arbitration process or what would be expected of us, but Mr. Furgison was able to help us prepare and was always available when we had questions. Arbitration lasted all five days, were were in attendance the entire time and it was an eye-opening experience. Mr. Furgison did an outstanding job explaining our case, why we were wronged and why we were owed compensatory damages. At the same time, he was equally impressive in refuting any of the opposing counsel's claims and handling all witnesses involved (both ours and theirs). The arbitration hearing was completed on December 12th, 2014. We felt very confident in what we presented, and at no time did we ever feel that we made the wrong decision in hiring Mr. Furgison to handle our case. Ultimately we received the results from the arbitration panel and we were awarded 100% of damages we were seeking! From my understanding in speaking with friends who are attorney's, this is almost never the case. To hear that news was absolutely surreal and we felt so validated due to the length of time we had pursued this and how much effort was put into this case by all of us, especially Mr. Furgison. I can honestly say that I would recommend anyone who is seeking legal representation should contact Jon Furgison. He was great to work with and ultimately was able to provide our family with the entire amount of monetary damages we were seeking.
