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.

Senior HR Manager

Mr. Ferder has represented me since 1999 and continues to provide good counsel and sound advice. Not only is he "topnotch" in the study and practice of a variety of legal concepts, he is well equipped to provide a sound phycological perspective as to rationalize difficult situation's and does so with... such a great sense humor. He is fact based, and I can reach anytime of day which provides me with a great deal of confidence and peace in knowing that I am in good hands. I wouldn't trust anyone else but Ferder!

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.

The Best!!

Paul Ferder has something that you rarely see in a lawyer these days. He truly cares about his clients. He has helped me through the most difficult time in my life. He is a non- judgmental person who goes above and beyond to help not only his clients but their families as well. I would recommend ...him to anybody that needs a lawyer. Even though my son has been sentenced Paul continues to help us. I never feel like I am bothering him if I have a question and he promptly returns my calls. If I needed an attorney he is the first person I would turn too. I believe there are some people that are here to help people with certain needs. Paul is not only an excellent attorney but one of those rare people that really can help and does his best to make a difference for those that society is ready to throw away. I cannot put into words how much he has helped our family. He really is one of the best the people I know along with him being the best at what he does for a living!!

Absolutely Stellar Defense Attorney

Hired Mr. Ferder to handle a case for a minor that was facing serious Measure 11 charges. Mr. Ferder was professional and responsive (he always either picked up right away or called back the same day), and took the time to thoroughly explain everything and walk us through the process. He ultimately n...egotiated a fantastic plea deal so it was resolved as a juvenile matter and the minor had no time left to serve. I do not think we could have hoped for a better outcome and I would absolutely recommend Mr. Ferder and his firm to anyone seeking excellent legal representation.
