Paul M Ferder

I know everyone like to post the great reviews and negative ones are usually deleted so the person looks 5 stars! Had very bad experience and poor service with this guy. Took retainer and promised to help, did not do his duties to collect all necessary information for judge to make a proper decision ...and to even try to win the case. Just negotiated the deal with the judge and insisted(by “having no other better choices”) me to plead guilty in my case. Had to hire the other attorney to fight my case which was won. His actions and possibly lack of professionalism made me a “temporary criminal” and he made so that the appeal time passed by no return calls or lack of communication so I had to go thru post conviction trials with criminal charges on me instead of fighting my case, so money were wasted and had to spend more with other attorneys. He is a great money making business guy probably for small or easy cases with quick turnaround times and negotiations instead of fighting your case in trials that he hates and will talk you off of going to trials. He was referred by my friend who he helped to negotiate the charges with judge so my friend was happy with what Mr. Ferder had negotiated. Not in my case. Would not recommend him for these who have difficult case or case that he has lack of practice in. You make your own judgements.

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!

I hired Paul, with the side help of Zachary Stern when facing felony charges that were looking to leave me with not only felony assault charges that would ruin my chances of future employment but as well as an 8 year offer from the state. I currently am only on probation with mister-minor charges tha...nks to the legal help and guidance of Paul Ferder and Mr.Stern. Honestly, staying out of jail and saving my reputation was worth every penny spent, and without the aid of Mr.Ferder; im not quite sure I could of been able to say that.

I was wrongly accused of assault and was determined to fight the charges. I fought for 10 months with another attorney, who, at the end asked me to plead guilty and advised against going to trial. At a desperate time for me, when I was ready to give up, I was given Mr. Ferder's name and told he was "...the best attorney in town." I called and met with him and learned he had actually hear of my case and he was willing to help. Mr. Ferder showed up to TWO hearings, and called me two days before the third to say, "It''s over, I got you a dismissal." Mr. Ferder is professional, honest and VERY knowledgeable of the system. He was also reassuring every step of the way. This attorney is worth every dime; look no further, he's the one. Thank you, Mr. Ferder.

I had Paul represent me seven years ago and I was able to start a new life because of the great job he did in my case. I live in California now and needed a lawyer to represent my son in Salem. Automatically I thought of Paul I knew he could represent my son. My son now has no felonies on his reco...rd and able to continue his job and a life. Well worth the money both times! I highly recommend Paul Ferder. He's personally called me a couple times when I'm in California to make sure that my son in Salem is being taken care of and he was taken care of and because of him he's able to have a real life now. I'm not planning on having to hire a criminal lawyer again... Lol. BUT...if I did Paul would be the one I always would go to!! He Gets The Job Done!
