Thank you John

John was amazing! He got my case reduced from a felony to a mistemeaner and sped up the whole process . His knowledge and presence were definitely the difference in the outcome of my case. I would strongly recommend John.

Someone you can trust with your livelihood, and feel good about it.

I was looking at multiple cases in two separate counties. John took on the task of having to commute and to deal with two different county court systems to represent me. I was being held in a different county and had been held almost two weeks with no word from anyone at the jail as to why they were... continuing to hold me and when they were planning to transport me. It took John one day to get the county sheriff’s to finally give me an explanation as to what was going on and I was transported the very next day of transport. John was able to get my most serious cases dropped without even a court appearance. He took into account my claim of innocence but he was also realistic about my situation and circumstances. He provided me all of the information possible to ensure I could make the best decisions on how to proceed with my particular cases. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work he did for me and I now consider him not just my attorney, but a friend. He’s down to earth, humble and real, and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in the very scary position of needing a criminal defense lawyer.

Forever Thankful

John is by far one of the best atterney around. The level of care and empathy is out of this world. You don't meet very many like him. He is always on time, and he will never leave you wondering, and he always makes a point to walk though the process and options with thorough communication. Good vibe...s all the way around. John fought for me to get the best possiable outcome of no prison time(and I have priors), and he was able to get several of the charges dismissed. Never once did i ever feel like I couldnt trurt him. John will always be at the top of my list to call. I would recommend the law office of Paul Ferder with no hesitation. John and Paul are true blessings.

Aaron Kahle be the state of Oregon

I retained John Knowdell for two misdemeanors recently and and the services that he and his legal team provided was worth more than then he charged me by a long shot. I am nothing more than pleased to have been represented by John Knowdell. Cheers!
