Hired attorney , anonymous Mar. 15, 2021

Debra truly helped me keep things from falling apart. A remarkable person and an incredible attorney.

I had a very difficult situation involving both business and a complicated custody situation. I thought I'd never find an attorney willing to work with me, with my circumstances. Debra is caring, compassionate, professional, respectful, sincere, talented and devoted. Debra truly helped me navigate a messy situation and I am fortunate to have found her.

She understands your needs!

I was facing a deadline for loss of income due to illness and Debbie kept pushing through despite the reluctance of the other attorney to do anything and the problems caused by Covid. In the end I got a fair settlement amount which eliminated alimony!

Highly Recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Debra Ferwerda. She handled my situation so quickly and made sure I was in the loop the whole time. She was kind to me and made sure I understood along the way.

Professional, diligent, and relentlessly committed!

Mrs. Ferwerda agreed to review my complicated and contemptuous modification of alimony case. Following an insightful consultation, she agreed to represent me at a moment of overwhelming frustration due to the incompetence and ineptitude of previous legal representations. Decisively, Mrs. Ferwerda motioned to dismissed prior disingenuous arrangements, successfully arguing in court complicated legal reasoning. Always keenly researched and judiciously prepared to argue in court, she sagaciously negotiated on my behalf, suitably advising me at every step. Unquestionably, Mrs. Ferwarda's steadfast representation, genuine empathy, and resolute perseverance have restored my confidence in legal counsel. I wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Fewerda's practice for anyone seeking passionate, diligent, and competent legal representation.

Accessible and Professional

Debra and her support team were very accessible and responsive. She worked with me directly and quickly responded to email, phone calls and even text messages. With Debra, you know your attorney is personally involved with your issue and she moves quickly to resolve it.

A Rare Combo

Debbie was my divorce attorney between 2019 and 2020, and she helped me navigate those choppy waters all the way to new land. Debbie is a very caring person who I would also go to war with. Those two combinations are rare and instill great trust.

Debra L. Ferwerda Esq., Attorney at Law

I was highly recommended to Debra Ferwerda by a good friend of mine who had recently finalized her divorce. From the initial phone call to the consultation I hired Debra immediately! Going through a divorce is an unpleasant experience to say the least. Through this grueling process I can't begin to thank Ms. Ferwarda enough for top notch representation while consistently having my best interest in mind. Her excellent communication skills providing smart strategy with possible outcome from opposing argument. She broke down the legal jargon into layman's terms being so patient with my many questions each step of the way from the initial call to the final judgement. Believe me - I had a lot of questions! The final outcome was successful and quite a bit more than I expected. I can see why my friend highly recommended Debra. I now speak from my own personal experience. I also highly recommend Debra Ferwerda. She's passionate about her job and is damn good at what she does!

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Debbie is an excellent divorce attorney that represented and supported my every need during a difficult time in my life. She listened, advised and supported my needs through the process. She is tough, and clearly gets the best possible outcome for her clients.

anonymous Aug. 14, 2019

I hired Debra to handle my very contentious divorce. Not only is she very professional, knowledgeable and experienced, but what struck me most was how quickly she would personally respond to questions or concerns I had about my case. She calmly walked me through everything. She's tough, honest and straightforward. I highly recommend Debra.

I endorse this lawyer. I have had the opportunity to be an opposing attorney against Attorney Ferwerda. Attorney Ferwerda can handle any situation in the courtroom. At trial she was very organized and collected, and at the same time fights for her clients with zealous representation. As a client, you can't ask for anything more, but as an opposing counsel, you appreciate her advocacy and the way she fights for her clients.

I had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Ferwerda first hand as we were both involved in a case together. I was handling the civil portion and she was handling the criminal. Ms. Ferwerda is beyond professional, ethical, and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for representation in a criminal or family law case.
