Exceptional work

Paul Ferder told me after I hired him that he would take care of me and that is exactly what he did as he has done in the past. Very professional, called me personally gave me the confidence that everything would work out and it did! Thanks Paul!

Highly accessible office

We hired Paul Ferder several years ago for my then husband who had a complex criminal case and found him to be extremely helpful. He was able to GREATLY reduce the anticipated sentence from 20 years to 18 months! He was quite literally a life saver. We hired Paul Ferder again this past year and foun...d the office to be highly accessible-phone calls and emails were replied to in a prompt manner. As a parent it was nice to always be able to get ahold of a love person! The office is also extremely helpful in helping people that require accommodations based on a disability.

Paul is not only a great lawyer but very easy to communicate with.

My son needed a good lawyer. Paul Ferder has quite the name for himself. I found him through word of mouth. Very happy with my sons outcome. Thank you Paul.

He helped when we needed it!

There are times in our lives that we can find that we need the help with things we cannot do for ourselves. Thank you Paul for helping us through ours. He was attentive, compassionate and quick to act. Some days it seemed like it would never end, but it did and He is the reason it happened so quickly....

The best person I know in law

100% the best experience I have had and will ever have with a lawyer for crime. I got charged with a crime and I have nothing on record. He got them to drop it and leave me alone thank goodness for someone that really does care about people. Very professional, he kept me updated with the case the ent...ire time and took care of everything for me. He made me feel stress free.

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.
