Mr. Ference is a great Attorney, I would recommend him to anyone who needs an honest, reliable and respectful lawyer. He's very professional and has a wonderful sense of humor.

Leonard Brian Ference went above and beyond! He was extremely communicative and professional. Best of all, he won the case for me!! I cannot thank him enough for taking the time to go after the "big guys" and winning!

Leonard was highly efficient in making sure I recouped monies that owed to me by my former employer. He made sure that I understood the entire process and was always accessible, when I had inquiries.

Years ago, when I was in my early 20's, my work manager committed unmentionable acts toward me in the workplace. Needless to say, I was scared, felt violated, and had no idea what to do about the horrific situation. Thankfully, I was introduced to Mr. Ference whom instantly set at me at ease. He wa s so easy to talk to, while he maintained an incredible sense of professionalism. Mr. Ference handled this very personal and difficult event in a way that I was able to go on with my life, knowing that the culprit would pay for the damage that he did to me. And, that is exactly what happened. Mr. Ference won me an extremely fair settlement (more than I had ever expected) and built in a clause that I would continue to receive monthly payments for, pretty much ever. I believe that Mr. Ference provided me a settlement that made me feel better about the awful situation, but also made me feel confident that the culprit would hopefully learn his lesson and be detoured from ever committing the crime again. This all happened nearly a decade ago, and am happy to say that Mr. Ference and I continue to stay in touch in a very friendly, yet professional manner. In fact, I have come to him several times over the years for further legal advice and would come back to him in a heartbeat should I need legal council. I recommend this man, wholeheartedly, for absolutely anything, especially representing you in the court of law. Thanks again for the comfort and friendship that you provided to me in such a difficult time, as well as the large amount of money that helped me fulfill many of my life goals.

Attorney Ference resolved a settlement case that was between a mortgage company and myself. My home was endangered of being foreclosed due to the mortgage company's mistake and I contacted Attorney Ference for help. He listened to my pridacment and proceeded forward. He thouroughly and skillfully fi xed the situation and I was compensated by the mortgage company. The mortgage company also paid his fee.

Theodore Allison has been our firm's lawyer for 15 years (since we started our practice), and he has been wonderful to work with. I trust him completely, and can't recommend him more highly. Theodore is literally one of the most intelligent people I know, and his thoughtful, creative, and thorough w ork has helped us more times than I can count. We truly couldn't run our practice without his help and advice. Theodore is the top of the top in Washington.

Mark · business law · May 2026

Theo is a thoughtful, professional and caring person. He helped us establish our practice, develop and review proposals and contracts and defended us when we needed him! He is fair and has a great knowledge of many aspects of the law.

William · bankruptcy · May 2026

My business partner failed to do his work well and our company was bankrupt. Instead of helping resolve the problem, he used a clause in our agreement to take control of the company. That's when I hired Theodore Allison. It took several months of careful negotiations, tons of emails, lots of argument s, working through false promises and much anguish, but Theo finally led me to a resolution that solved the problem. The road ahead was unclear, but Theo remained patient, calm and focused until the solution was at hand. I am grateful for his skill and perseverance.

I hired Hilary to defend me against a bar complaint. Hilary expertly handled my case from the intake interview through the successful conclusion of the matter. She was clear with me about her defense strategy, knew the complaint process and relevant case law, and was personally familiar with bar c ounsel. Hilary is well respected in the ethics bar and is a frequent commentator on developments and current events in the law. I could go on, but suffice it to say that I will recommend only Hilary if I am ever asked by a colleague seeking ethics or professional responsibilty counsel.

I hired Mrs. Gerzhoy to represent me in an adverse matters hearing with the DC Bar, and she couldn't have done a better job. She is extremely knowledgeable in the procedural and substantive aspects of various professional responsibility matters. She was very thorough with her work, clear with her ar guments, and executed our strategy perfectly. I am extremely pleased with her work and would gladly recommend her to anyone in need of similar services.

Hilary is an exceptional attorney. She is sharp, professional and personable. She gave me excellent guidance and I would highly recommend!

John · real estate · May 2026

I first found Doug online 4 years ago and asked him to help us removing a fraudulent mechanical lien filed by a very bad excavation contractor. Doug is very sharp, paid great attention to the details of my case and removed the lien in less than 1 month. From that on, Doug has helped us with all con tracts issues in DC. His excellent works have save us a lots of money. Doug also got an incompetent contractor agreed to pay back the money we paid them. After that he followed up that contract monthly for 2 years until we are paid in full. We are very happy with Doug.

Don · government law · May 2026

I highly recommend Doug. He handled an administrative matter for our neighborhood association. He had great judgment, was very responsive, and his fee was very reasonable,

Ann · government law · May 2026

Doug represented a group of neighbors before an administrative tribunal in a complex matter related to a disruptive neighborhood business. He stood out for his dedication to the task, knowledge of the law and process, and ability to cheerfully handle a difficult situation. I would highly recommend hi m.

I had the privilege of being represented by Mr. Douglas Melcher in a complex defamation matter. Throughout the entirety of the process, Mr. Melcher demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, diligence, and expertise. His attention to detail was remarkable; he left no issue unexamined an d no argument underdeveloped. Mr. Melcher was not only a formidable advocate of my interests but also a patient and steady guide, walking me through each step of the proceedings with clarity and care. His ability to explain intricate legal concepts in a practical and accessible way gave me confidence at every stage. I never once felt uninformed or unprepared — a testament to his thoroughness and genuine investment in his clients' well-being. Importantly, my praise for Mr. Melcher is not offered merely as a grateful client, but as a fellow legal professional who has interacted with hundreds of lawyers across the world. Even by the highest standards of the profession, Mr. Melcher's work stands out. His combination of intellectual rigour, strategic insight, and personal dedication is truly exceptional. I recommend Douglas Melcher without reservation to anyone seeking counsel marked by excellence, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the client’s cause.
