If you want the best results.....

So i have had my fare share of court issues from a very young age and I have probably been in front of a judge around 10 times, I had always heard the name Paul Ferder inside the jail and out and it was always positive about him. Well my last two times in court I went with paul and was very happy for... all he did for me. If you need something in marion county forsure he can pull the strings so to speak and make it happen maybe even farther then that for all I know but in this county I wouldnt count on anyone else for help on a case of mine he is very kind and will make the effort for you. The case he helped me with first was in 2015 or close to, now I caught 17 felonys at once and only did 16 months inside for them and it was because I had him on my side and that was a great job on his part. But this case last month even better no jail no prison just probation on felony assault charges so he is this best in this town as far as I'm concerned. Thank you Paul ~Thomas M.

Saved My Personal Life and Job

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.

Paul Ferder

I was in a double homicide case. A very very serious matter. I actually had hired a different attorney before hiring Paul. The best decision I made on my case was hiring Ferder by far. He helped me and my family through and through the tough situations while I was Incarcerated. He came as often as he... could to tell me what was going on and our plans and if I needed to speak with him immediately he was only a phone call away. I was looking at 90 months in prison. I was already a felon and facing 2 more felony charges. Paul got me 5 years probation and a 2nd chance at life. I am forever grateful to Paul. I get to raise my son and be with my family. He is the best around hands down. He does not beat around the Bush he is straight forward, honest and gets to business! If you ever need an attorney and dont know which way to go, go the Ferder way. You will not be disappointed I promise!!
