• How much does it cost to hire Ferr for a family law case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Ferr walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Can Ferr take my case if I'm outside Canton?

  Ferr is licensed in Mississippi. Matters governed by Mississippi law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Ferr will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Ferr?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Ferr will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
