Highly Recommended Law Firm!

My little brother was in jail looking at up to 7 years in prison. His public defender got it down to 28 months at which our family was not satisfied with this. My mother in law then hired Paul Ferder. This company is nothing short of amazing! Paul and his partner Zachary got the job done! I spoke wit...h Paul on 8/11/15. On 8/26/15 my brother was released. That 28 months turned to 0 months. Paul and Zach kept EVERY single promise they made. I highly recommend them. I simply cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and efforts.

Great Job - Highly Skilled and intelligent

Recently I found myself needing the service of an Attorney. I am so glad I found Mr Ferder. I received the best personal care from his office, his staff, and especially him. I got into see him right away. What a gifted, talented person who can truly bring his experience to the table and help you ...make the right decisions. I never imagined myself in this situation and found Paul made sure I understood all details and situations I was faced with. I would only use him for representation as I know he can handle anything and he is fair, skilled, and one of the most experienced attorney you could find. Go see him, and you will find out what I mean.

Criminal Defense

Paul stayed in steady communication with us throughout the process. If not himself, then one of his staff, even with their very busy schedule. Knowing little about the judicial system’s process and requirements as many of us do, they helped us to understand the criminal consequences good and bad. We ...appreciated the honesty and we never felt misled. Throughout this ordeal we gained complete confidence in Paul. He is a very intelligent lawyer and compassionate person. Office staff was very polite and helpful as well as patient with our questions. We were promptly notified of all court dates and changes. Although I’m not pleased to say that we have had to hire this firm on more than one occasion, I think this says something about this firms’ ability to get the job done! We have already recommended them to several other clients and will continue to do so.
