Client

Paul has represented me in the past and always did right by me. Thankfully I got my life together and haven’t had to use a criminal defense lawyer in many years. Recently I got myself in some trouble that could have costed me my career I worked so hard to get and much more. The second I got into trou...ble my first instinct was to call Paul. He was on vacation and still took the time to talk to me and schedule an appointment right away and retained him. I never thought for a second to go to anyone else. He is the only one I would trust with my life. Paul was honest with me even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. He always listened to me and answered all of my question. Paul did everything he could for me and it payed off. I could not of asked for a better outcome. Every time we came to a roadblock he would figure out another avenue. Because of Paul Ferder I still have the job I worked so hard to get. I hope to never have to hire a criminal defense attorney again in my life, but if I ever did, I would not go to anyone else. He is more than an attorney he is a special friend to me and my family.

This man is amazing!

Paul Ferder is amazing! He is honest, up front, caring, confident and definitely a man of his word. Through our hard time his made us feel very confident in everything he was doing every step of the way. We are truly thankful for everything he has done.

Honest Compassionate, Dedicated and EXPERIENCED

We had the unfortunate privilege of hiring Mr Ferder on behalf of my Son. Mr Ferder quickly responded and went to work on minimizing the consequences my Son was facing. Mr Ferder also was comforting in educating us on all options and processes. Mr Ferder immediately gave us his cell phone number and ...would actually answer our calls, anytime. Paul, as we have gotten to call him, has been so supportive, responsive and compassionate, that I was so compelled to write this review. Paul has continued to support us since we first hired him in 2016. Paul has gone above and beyond in helping with issues that have continued to come up throughout the two + years we have been working with him. Remarkably, Paul has absorbed addition costs where he could have charged us, but chose not to. I highly recommend Paul Ferder as your next defence attorney!
