"Paul was extremely competent, pleasant and quick to respond. It significantly helped us to prepare an answer to a Federal Court complaint."—John Finnegan, Monroeville, PA

"You did it again. Your research from March of 2018 resulted in the court granting summary judgment against the plaintiff in a hearing that took place on Friday. It took a while to get the plaintiff to acknowledge facts needed for defendants to file a plea in bar and a motion for summary judgment, but eventually I got that part of the job done. The rest relied upon your research. The outcome was a huge relief to my elderly clients.  Once again, many thanks for your excellent work."—Breckenridge Ingles, Gloucester, VA

"I have used The Research Group on several occasions and have been amazed at the excellent quality of their research and writing skills.  Most recently Paul Ferrer drafted a Motion to Dismiss a RICO case in Fed Ct and the plaintiff withdrew his frivolous claims and dismissed his action prior to the hearing on the Motion. . . . I know your work on that issue was far superior to what my firm could have done and the quality of the work on that issue was higher than I could have expected from my firm.  They were very impressed with your work."—Tony Pieroni, Troy, MI
