Paul Ferder saved my son and myself

If you need a criminal attorney my advise is to look no further. If you have been charged with a measure 11 crime this man is probably one of the best in the state to represent you. In sons case he had the measure 11 charges removed which saved my son from going to prison. I found I could stand ...back and allow this man to do his job in a most precise way. Paul was extremely accessible, and returned his calls in a timely fashion, His treatment of kindness and respect was like a breath of fresh air. My wife and myself felt in complete confidence with Paul at all times. I also found his service fees fair and reasonable.

Fantastic lawyer

I was lucky to find Paul through another lawyer. He was great to work with and very knowledgeable. He kept me informed on what was going on and explained to me what to expect throughout the whole process. He has a wonderful sense of humor and keeps you thinking positive even when the situation is ...not good. I am so lucky to have had him for a lawyer.

What Paul Ferder did for our family.

I can't say enough good things about Paul Ferder. He gave our son a second chance at life. A young man at 21, with no past record and a bright future. He made a mistake that could of ruined all this. Paul Ferder is an honorable man, who is honest and straight forward. He is kind, sincere and ALWAYS ...returned phone calls. We were always kept informed and knew what was happening. At a time in our lives when things looked so bleak, we met Paul. He gave us hope and told us he would take care of our son, and that is exactly what he did. Thank you so much Paul. There's not many men like you. James

Excellent Reprsentation

My boyfriend was charged with 17 drug and weapon felonies in Polk County. Mr Paul Ferder was able to get him 16 months! Which is amazing since each charge is worth 20 years! Plus he gets 20% good time which brings him to12.8 months and he already did a month in county wich brings him to 11.8 months i...n prison. If you want to get the best results for your money get Paul Ferder.
