    51 years, 4,000 cases

This October will mark my 50th anniversary of being sworn in as an attorney in Pennyslvania and next February will be the 50th anniversary in New Jesey.  

 

Over that time, I have been honored to have represented over 4,000 clients in the personal injury field.   My clients tell us they are happy because when they compare their results with their friends and familes, they are pleasantly surprised at what a good job our firm did for them.   Many of them refer clients to us as well, for which we are very grateful.

 

I've tried over 250 jury trials and that track record helps convince insurance adjusters and their attorneys that if they don't make reasonable settlement offers, we are not afraid to bring the case to trial.  

 

I really enjoying helping folks and have try to return every call the same day.  Please take a few minutes to see episodes of The People's Law School that I have put on YouTube and are posted on The Ferrara Law Firm's Facebook page.   We're here to help you.   Please go to our website at for more information on our cases and qualifications.  

 

Finally, I am blessed to have a wonderful wife of 52 years, Penny,  five great childen,and five wonderful grandkids.

My experience has been exceptional in every aspect
Amazed, I was, after coming to know that i had exceptional counsel in Michael Ferrara, and his staff. Mr. Ferrara was quick to respond in a professional and attentive manner. He and his staff always assisted with compassion, empathy, and great attention to detail. I felt that he and his staff were happy to assist me. They are client friendly, and offered excellent service. I received timely communication via phone, email and u.s. mail every step of the way. During this difficult time for me, they remain steadfast loyalty and afforded me and my families life to be less stressful. Mr. Ferrara and his staff were above and beyond of what was expected. My experience has been exceptional in every aspect. I am very grateful to Michael Ferrara, and his staff.

Mike and his staff were excellent with every aspect of our lawsuit. We had no stress throughout the experience and put total trust in faith in them. In the end might accomplished exactly what he intended to. And my mother was very happy with the settlement. Everyone at the firm was easy to work with and explanatory of all information. I would definitely recommend Mike and his group.

Sandra: Thank you so much for the kind words. We try our best to treat everyone as family. After doing this for more than 45 years, insurance companies know who I am and know how hard I fight for my clients. All AVVO users in NJ and Eastern PA can call me on my cell 856.495.3021 and I'd be happy to see if the case you are considering has merit. There's no fee for the call. Thanks again and stay safe everyone. Mike.

Mom's dog bite
While on her daily walk, my 77 yr old mother was attacked from behind by a pit bull that ran out of a house. It took several surgeries to get her on her feet again. Mike was referred to me by my cousin's lawyer, who could not handle the case in South Jersey. It was a traumatizing event and we just didn't know what to do. After the first meeting with Mike we knew we were in good hands. He was very compassionate concerning her injuries and explained very simply how these things work and that he would do all he could to see to it that she was appropriately compensated. He took care of all the investigative work, kept us informed on the progress of the case and regularly checked on my mom's rehab progress. The case was settled with very little stress on parents, thanks to Mike's hard work and consideration. Thank You Mike. Chet H.
