Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Paul Ferder, is a very skilled attorney. He throughly knows the law, but he also cares for you as a person. He helped me get my life back, after I was accused of a very serious crime.

Worth every dollar!

I was charged with 6 felonies and was looking at a possible prison sentence if convicted. After months of dealing with my court appointed attorney who made very little effort to help me, I sought the help of Mr. Ferder. When I met with his associate Zach Stern he asked me what my main goal was and I ...told him I don't want to go to prison, or have felonies on my record for the rest of my life. After months of dealing with the court system Mr. Ferder and Mr. Stern were finally able to get a plea deal that worked in my favor and I could live with. I had to plead guilty to 3 out of the 6 felonies with a downward departure, meaning when I successfully complete the terms of my 3 years unsupervised probation, I will be able to have the 3 felonies reduced to misdemeanors and have them expunged after 3 years. I was sentenced to serve 20 days in jail on June 29th 2017, but was released after serving 12 hours of that sentence. Thanks to Paul Ferder and Zach Stern I have a 2nd chance at life. If you're in trouble with the criminal justice system I highly recommend you seek the assistance of Mr. Ferder's law office. They are well worth the cost and provide top notch service and make you feel at ease during the hard time you may be going through. I can't thank Paul enough for the 2nd chance at life he provided for me!

Most amazing lawyer ever

I am still mind blown by the work of this man. I called while in custody on a Thursday he told me he would be there on Saturday to talk to me. On Saturday of all days he sure showed up he told me don't worry about anything everything will be ok. Still worried he asked me do you have any questions I s...aid yes do you do miracles? He said yes he will make a miracle happen. I have 12 theft ones and a criminal history behind that. He showed up to my arraignment and told the DA this is how things were going to work and pretty much demanded my release. Because of him I'm writing this review he is so fair with his price and honestly any money he asks for is worth it. I strongly recommend anyone who is in trouble call him now. I'm so a Ferder believer. Hire him now if your in trouble!!!!!
