EXPERIENCED & DEDICATED DIVORCE & FAMILY ATTORNEY. CALL FOR FREE CONSULTATION.

When seeking a family law attorney, there are three important factors to consider: experience, knowledge and cost. My practice is exclusively family law. I am sensitive to the emotional nature of family law litigation and am willing to put in the extra effort necessary to achieve a successful result. I am determined to obtain the best outcome for my clients but not reluctant to discourage expensive and unnecessary litigation or to pursue a less costly means to achieve a desired end.

Good heart, straightforward, ethical lawyer
John had a free consultation with me and he is honest, ethical and tell me practically what I need to do to keep away my worry. He provided a lot of good suggestions and advice without hiding, so I actually get a lot info from this consultation. Not like some lawyers who asked a lot of questions but didnot provide advice, which kind of waste time and get almost nothing out from the consultation except retainer fee and hourly rate, I get really good legal advice from him.

John Ferguell performs excellently.
Performed excellently over the span of 4 years. I believe that he won over 90% of the time I was called to court. When I did lose he was there to win the appeals. He helped me with a parenting plan as well as gave great suggestions on mediators. When I called or emailed he was there when I needed him and I definitely did not feel like a number.

Happy Client
John is a great lawyer. Very knowledgeable and empathetic to the moment the client is facing. Impeccable conduct, and does not charge unnecessary fees. While the other party representation was doing extra procedures to charge him up, John kept it simple and straight to what was needed at the time. John got me everything I wanted on the parenting plan. I first asked for a small amount of child support, because the other party was hiding his earning totals from me. John got me a settlement way better than I had in mind at first. I am very happy, and recommend his services.

Stay far far away
My ex is currently working with this piece of dog you know what abs he has turned her into monster. Filing motions for no reason a s anytime he gets wins of something like the court suggesting I file a contempt motion he dies something else like having my ex not let me see my daughter anymore. They have asked me to do the impossible while working two jobs to pay for everything and support myself. This is one bad guy he will destroy any chance you have at doing what's right or by working together to be good parents. I honestly don't know how he sleeps at night. I will post in every review board I can find I hope ls I can save one couple from using this guy. Negative 10 stars

Not honest with billing hours, strictly about money
I hired John for an excessive amount to stand in on a phone call. All of the necessary documentation was completed and filed. All he had to do was talk for probably 15 minutes or less. He first asked for $3,000 to do this. After negotiating we agreed to $1,000 flat rate for the phone call only. The other party didn’t confirm and the hearing never happened. John than made up hours titled “prep work” took my money and ran. There was no prep, all the documents were prepared and we covered everything in a “free” phone consultation. When I inquired about getting my money back he took 85%. He literally did nothing. I have family in law out of stated and they were appalled by this situation. There’s two types of attorneys: attorneys to make money and attorneys to help people. John only cares about your money.
