• Murder and manslaughter
• Sexual assault and attempted rape

His thorough investigation and aggressive cross-examination of witnesses helps him secure the minimal consequences for the accused and their families.

Don Ferris has practiced criminal law in Michigan for 30 years. He served four years as a Washtenaw County senior assistant public defender in the felony division before entering private practice in 1980. He is listed in “Best Lawyers in America” and Michigan Super Lawyer for his criminal defense work (along with many other peer recognitions), and teaches courses on trial skills to other Michigan attorneys. He tries cases in all state and federal courts of Michigan, and has presented arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court.
