Client centric

Mr. Ferder and his partner, Mr. Gipson worked diligently to assist me with my legal matter and were incredibly generous with their time. They seem to genuinely care about their clients and the outcome of the cases which they handle. Legal issues are an added layer of stress to life and Mr. Ferder and... his team seem to understand that and handled my situation with kindness. They took the time to explain things in lamens terms. Mr. Federal and Mr. Gipson always returned calls in a timely manner, which I greatly appreciated. When it came time to withdraw from my case, Mr. Ferder did so in a manner that will undoubtedly be of help to me as I move forward.

Paul Ferder is the ONLY choice!

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.

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!!!!!
