Qualified and Experienced Defense

Don Ferris has practiced criminal law in Michigan for 30 years, and has tried cases in all state and federal courts. A veteran of numerous jury trials and bench trials, he is among the few attorneys who regularly practice in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Mr. Ferris is also admitted to the Western District Court, and has argued appeals before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (6th District) and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mr. Ferris is aggressive in challenging allegations, and his trial skills are recognized by peers and judges in Washtenaw County and beyond. Just as importantly, he understands the federal prosecution system. The federal courts have their own distinct procedures, laws, and sentencing guidelines. Navigating clients through the process requires a federal criminal defense lawyer accustomed to this arena.

Federal cases are tougher to win. Many times the federal prosecutor will indict multiple defendants, and be willing to dismiss or reduce charges against the “little fish.” At other times, plea negotiations are not an option and a trial is the best recourse. After examining the facts and gauging the strength of the government’s case, Don Ferris will advise about taking a case to trial or plea-bargaining to lesser charges.
