Litigation refers to the process of resolving a dispute through the court system. Though put in place to protect the rights of everyday citizens, this process can be complex and time-consuming, and typically requires the aid of experienced legal counsel to navigate. The primary role of a Miami litigation attorney is to simplify this process and help people embroiled in a legal battle come to a legally sound resolution.
Family practice concentrates on contested divorces, emphasizing the issues of division of marital property, including assets and liabilities, alimony and child support. In that child support is always susceptible to modification, a portion of our family practice revisits child support issues. We also participate in temporary and permanent restraining order hearings.
However, the circumstances of such an event - whether it takes place in a shopping mall, on a state highway or in your own home - may give the injured party the right to seek legal action. A serious injury may cost a substantial amount to remedy, but determining who should cover the expense can be a complex process.
If you stand accused of a serious offense, either in state or federal court, you may feel like the whole judicial system is working against you.
The rise of hour-long criminal dramas that glorify criminal prosecutors, paired with the local media and general population's tendency to assume guilt in cases well before any rulings have been made, make it clear that the rights of the accused simply aren't a priority for those who have never faced a criminal charge.

Though some divorces can be settled quickly and amicably, the legal dissolution of a marriage is often a sensitive matter, one in which legal actions and emotions can become painfully intertwined. When choosing a Miami divorce lawyer to guide you through this complex and often emotionally-fraught process, it is essential to find a legal representative you can trust - one who respects the delicacy of your case and will advocate on your behalf.

Thank you simply isn’t enough for the peace Scott has brought to my home. I’ve recently requested his assistance in a family matter and Scott delivered! Not only has he given me a peace of mind but he also was able to give that to my child. Scott was always available for me and always a simple phone call away NO MATTER WHAT! He took several of my crying and panicked phone calls and would take them at anytime of day. He ALWAYS made me feel like I was his ONLY client! I highly recommend his services!

Where to begin. How do you express such a magnitude of gratitude that I have for Scott Ferris.
When I hired Scott, I was in pieces. I was fresh out of a very bad marriage and did not feel I had the strength for the road ahead. My mom hired Scott for me, in the very beginning of the pandemic. My world and the literal world were coming to and end in my eyes. Scott made absolute miracles happen in what was the ugliest and darkest of times for me. By no means was my divorce a clear cut, easy peasy, everyone is making things go smoothly situation. Scott was not only the most amazing attorney

If you want the job done, Scott is going to make it happen! He’s going to personally answer your calls and emails at all hours of the day or night, he’s going to work his butt off to get the job done, (in this case, a divorce in record time during the Covid pandemic), and he’s going to represent your interests to the max. He’s attentive and responsive, and you will never have to remind him of anything, as he’s right there with you every step of the way. Money well spent, and grateful to have listened to the person who recommended him to us!

Scott Ferris is one of a kind in Miami! I have worked with him for several years and he consistently amazes me with his worth ethic and ability to get the job done. He cares for each client and works tirelessly to ensure every step of the process is handled seamlessly. I have never felt uneasy walking into a courtroom with him by my side. He is tough and fights for my well being and the well being of my family. When necessary, he is creative, and does everything in his power to solve issues as they arise. He explains every step of the process thoroughly and offers excellent advice every step fo

Mr Ferris "is" a wealth of knowledge and has been a tremendous help in my litigation. He cares about everyone he represents with the upmost professionalism and there wasn't a time where he couldn't take a moment out of his private life to answer any of my concerns. Tons of experience, straight forward & caring attitude. A trifecta that carries into the court room for success!
I highly recommend Mr. Ferris over all in Dade County. The Best...

Scott Ferris is a very hard working lawyer. He will fight for you to get what he knows is fair and right. He listens to his clients wants and needs and does everything he can to make it happen. He is very responsive, always returns phone calls and emails in a timely manner. His pricing is extreamly fair with the amount of work he puts into his cases.

Mr. Ferris was a great help with our case. He is very knowledgeable of family law and he knew just how to respond to defend us in each moment. Mr. Ferris always had our child’s best interest in mind throughout the case. He was always guiding us how to proceed to solve the matter the best way for our child. We are very happy with the results of our case. If you need an attorney to represent you for a custody case we highly urge you to call Mr. Scott Ferris to use his expertise to help you solve your case.

Mr. Ferris is a great attorney, very caring and relatable. He came highly recommended to us and they were right. He is the real deal! He truly showed a desire to help me and my family achieve our goals. He is very straightforward but compassionate. He is not the least expensive in Miami but he is a quality attorney with a passion for justice. He won our case and freed us of many years in litigation, so worth every penny! I am grateful for what he has done. I have recommended him to 2 other clients whom he represents currently and would recommend him again. Hire Mr. Ferris and you will not be disappointed
