Mr Ferris was very helpful to me and my wife with our Bankruptcy. He was kind and answered all our questions if we had any problems. I would highly recommend his law firm for all your needs. Also Mr Winder was our attorney at first but he left the firm right at the end. But like I said Mr Ferris took over and didn't lose a step Thank You Mr Mrs M Kachmar
What a great professional for a dreaded process! The office is easy to access, the paralegal is super informative and diligent in all the work she did. Mr Ferris was clear explaining everything and guiding me in my choices. Best of all the rates are affordable. I hope I never need the services again (divorce), but if I do, I will choose Ferris everytime.
Ferris Law was absolutely incredible in handling my divorce. Mrs. Wright was incredibly professional, kind, and sweet in managing all of my forms, meetings, and needs during such a hard process, she made the whole process a breeze and I am so thankful I chose Ferris Law to handle everything! Mr. Ferris was so personable and made me feel validated in all of my requests, everything was done timely, organized, and so professionally while also remaining personable and understanding. If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would!!
I most certainly would recommend Mr. Ferris’ practice. He was very straight forward with the expectations at the beginning of the divorce process, which I appreciated. The shining star is Cathy Wright, Paralegal. Cathy stayed on top of the dates things were due, answered my questions, and got everything filed and mailed in a timely manner. I did not worry about anything at all thanks to Cathy—she brought calm and some levity into a stressful situation. I definitely recommend Mr. Ferris and Ms. Wright! Thanks for everything!
I had the pleasure of working with Ferris Law, LLC. Mr. Ferris and his assistant Catherine, was amazing! Professional customer service at its finest. Catherine is a real VIP, every time I called, she answered and no questions was a silly question, no time did I felt like I was bothering her. The support and professionalism is not seen these days. Thank you so much Ferris Law for a job well done! I will definitely send referrals to your office.
