Several attorneys have served as officers of the State Bar of California, the Ventura County Bar Association and other local bar associations.
History
Established in 1982.
Big Firm Expertise, Local Knowledge.
Our founders Michael Case, David Cunningham and John Orr sought to bring a new level of legal services to California and launched FCOP in Ventura in 1982. Like many entrepreneurs, they started bare bones with a word processor, three support staff and John Orr's mother answering phones.
In the decades that followed, Ferguson Case Orr Paterson has established its own identity as a premiere legal practice and the place for talented legal professionals.
For clients, these years of combined expertise translate into strong relationships throughout state, local and national businesses, courts, and institutions.
Ferguson Case Orr Paterson is greater than the sum of its parts. Our commitment to our clients, community and values is shared by all our staff; attorneys, paralegals, secretaries and office personnel. We continue to pursue our passion for excellence and cultivating talent to better serve our clients, and our communities.
