Experienced Family Law Attorney Serving Downriver
Gene Ferguson has provided dedicated legal representation to Downriver families since 1986. As a lifelong resident of Trenton, Michigan, I bring deep local knowledge to every case, combining decades of experience with a personalized approach that prioritizes clients' emotional and legal needs. My practice spans family law, estate planning, probate, and criminal defense, informed by my Juris Doctor degree from Detroit College of Law and active membership in the Michigan legal community.

Having grown up in a family of restaurateurs, I understand the value of hard work and community trust. My wife Diane and I operate this family-run practice with six children, ensuring every client receives attentive, ethical representation. We serve Downriver communities including Trenton, Riverview, and Grosse Ile, offering free consultations to help clients navigate complex legal challenges with confidence.
