Highly accessible office

We hired Paul Ferder several years ago for my then husband who had a complex criminal case and found him to be extremely helpful. He was able to GREATLY reduce the anticipated sentence from 20 years to 18 months! He was quite literally a life saver. We hired Paul Ferder again this past year and foun...d the office to be highly accessible-phone calls and emails were replied to in a prompt manner. As a parent it was nice to always be able to get ahold of a love person! The office is also extremely helpful in helping people that require accommodations based on a disability.

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.

The Fighter You Want

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.

Amazing Lawyer. Case Dismissed

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.

Paul Ferder

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.
