Great Criminal Defense Lawyer

Paul was one of the best lawyers I could have ever asked for. He is dependable and always had my back all the way until the end. He took on my DUII case and won. We had substantial evidence that I was innocent and he was there fighting to win every step of the way during our 2 year process. If an...yone asked me who they should choose for a criminal defense attorney, every time I would say Paul Ferder and any of his colleagues hands down.

Paul has represented me in the past and always did right by me. Thankfully I got my life together and haven’t had to use a criminal defense lawyer in many years. Recently I got myself in some trouble that could have costed me my career I worked so hard to get and much more. The second I got into trou...ble my first instinct was to call Paul. He was on vacation and still took the time to talk to me and schedule an appointment right away and retained him. I never thought for a second to go to anyone else. He is the only one I would trust with my life. Paul was honest with me even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. He always listened to me and answered all of my question. Paul did everything he could for me and it payed off. I could not of asked for a better outcome. Every time we came to a roadblock he would figure out another avenue. Because of Paul Ferder I still have the job I worked so hard to get. I hope to never have to hire a criminal defense attorney again in my life, but if I ever did, I would not go to anyone else. He is more than an attorney he is a special friend to me and my family.

Trustworthy, Reliable, and Excellent

I had a party busted by the police and the damage was a A level misdemeanor and a class C felony for a fake ID. After consulting with family we decided that Paul was our guy. He was very optimistic and believed that this could get resolved within a short period. After a few days, the court called inf...orming me that the DA was not going to peruse charges, leaving me in the clear. Without Paul, this process would have been long and expensive. As a young adult, Paul preserved my future so that I can live my life without the consequences of one stupid night. 110% would recommend.

Great business man and negotiator. Be aware!

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.

Man Of His Word

I was looking at some serious time being served for a situation where I felt I was wrongfully charged. I hired Paul Ferder to save my life, literally...And that he did. Never once did I doubt him, I knew he was the right choice from the moment I met him in his office and he shook my hand firmly. Paul... was there for me, he listened, and spoke promising words with 100% follow through. He worked on my case diligently for several months, and established my own jury trial where I got a chance to explain myself to the DA and several jurors. This does not happen, very rare and a once in a blue moon type opporrunity. With Paul Ferders legal knowledge and being an A+ Attorney he pushed his skills to the fullest and worked out an absolute incredible deal with the DA. The worst of my felonious charges were dropped, jail rime reduced to a bare minimum and I was given a more than fair plea deal. Paul is a Man of his word, he told me he'd take care of me, answered and returned ALL of my phone calls and I would trust him with anything! I know I can call on Paul Ferder and he'll be right there to help, immediately. I don't know how he does it but the man is an absolute genius in my book. The team he works will treat their job will a passion and have the upmost care and respect for their clients as well. Extraordinary man and I owe him so much gratitude and thankfulness for what he did for me and my family. Thank you Paul.
