In October of 2015, I was involved in a case that hit the news. I was charged with 28 measure 11’s. I was given a court appointed attorney like most people but I knew I needed an experienced professional. I heard about Paul Ferder through quite a few people. They all had nothing but positive comments... and stories of how he had won most all his cases. I was able to call his office from jail and he came to see me the very next morning. Paul Ferder, and the personal in his office, Zachary Stern Attorney at Law and Raquel Ortiz Legal Secretary are kind, compassionate, hardworking, intelligent and have many years of legal experience. I had never been arrested before much less charged with a crime. Paul Ferder made me feel confident and secure that my life was in good hands with him and his firm. I ended up being convicted of only one of the twenty-eight charges. He was able to get that one charge taken out of measure 11. I have since served all my time and am now back to looking forward to loving my life again. I give a million thanks and a million praises to Paul Ferder and his office. Not only was Paul Ferder my attorney, I consider him my friend. He never gave up on me. Paul Ferder is a down time earth man and cares about the people he represents. He’s understanding and professional. He’s honest and not afraid to tackle big cases. He is a fighter you want in your corner.

Paul is awesome. From day one he was always there to consult me and answer any and all questions. Always called me back, gave me great advice on all aspects of the case. Paul was able to get the charges against me completely dropped with out ever having to go to court. In trouble and want it to g...o away? Call Paul.

I have used Paul on two occasions. Both were Civil issues. I know he is the best criminal lawyer in the State of Oregon, but he also gives his heart to those who need help and support for Civil or domestic issues. I would not use any other attorney. To this day, I feel if I called at any time and... needed him....he would be there.

We hired Paul to represent our son on multiple charges and several probation violations, most of which our son had already incriminated himself on. Paul did an outstanding job of defending him. Paul negotiated a fair and reasonable deal with a notoriously temperamental DA's office in a different coun...ty. This, despite our son being a witness in another unresolved case that made negotiations very difficult. It was a huge relief to have Paul advocating for him and we were all happy with the results. His professionalism and expertise were obvious to us from the first consult. Paul is genuinely a personable man that cares about his clients. Amazingly, he returns his phone calls the day you call him, and most of the time within an hour or two. His fees were reasonable and did not exceed the discussed rate. He kept us informed and visited our son in jail multiple times, despite having to drive more than an hour each way. He's very reassuring to clients and families going through a tough time. He did all this after having to clean up a legal mess left over by the court appointed attorney. What Paul did for our son was nothing short of a work of art. Hopefully we won't need his service again, but if we do, his will be the only number we call.

Paul is a magnificent person inside and out I’ve known Paul since I was nine years old I was a disadvantage teen all my childhood Paul Has helped me out of the kindness of his heart having a major impact on who I am today now I’m almost 40 find myself needing him one more time I have no problem using... Paul because my family and I trust him with difficult decisions that can alter one’s life and have no problem doing so because he has proved himself over many years to our family to be nothing but the best thank you Paul
