don’t waste your money

Chris is a fraud. He totally messed up my case, hardly did any work, got the initial complaint wrong, mis- characterized the case, has costed me thousands of dollars, months of time and then because of all of this he had the nerve to ask me for more money. do not waste a dime on this man, he’ll say... anything to take your money and as soon as you pay it, say goodbye.

Unethical & negligent

Christopher Ferrara is absolutely the worst lawyer I have ever worked with. He will take your money and disappear. Will not respond to your emails or calls. I ended up doing all the work myself and had to constantly remind him of deadlines. He didn’t even bother to show up for the closing. Grossly ne...gligent and very unethical.

Very Professional.

I first consulted Mr. Ferrara regarding some basic information and was not disappointed. After the first phone call I recognized how passionate he is about his profession and how accommodating he was towards my schedule. He was always quick to reply to e-mails or phone calls during the business days.... I would definitely recommend him for anyone in need of services regarding Wills or Leases.

unprofessional hustler...

Chris responded to a case I posted online involving a simple mediation between my company and the division of consumer affairs department about a simple violation that I was disputing.... agreement was to simply negotiate a settlement for the amount of $500 or for the full price of $1,500 take it to ...trial in municipal court. I paid him in full prepared to go to trial... he made a couple of phone calls and negotiating a simple settlement via email and phone and then never even appeared in court... he did $500 worth of work however never refunded me the balance and then hung up the phone on me after questioning him... this was all after not returning my phone calls or emails during the whole time span before court...

Very pleased with the experience

I had a traffic accident and wanted to change the court date that was mandated in the ticket I received. I couldn't be in town on that day due to a business meeting out of state. I had hired Chris after looking in Avvo and I was glad that I found him. I called him on Friday and since there wasn't a l...ot of time to file for date change with the court, he even came to my house to get me to sign papers. He was very responsive and kept me informed and not only got the court date changed but tried to get my points removed. On the court date, he came very early and met with the prosecutor and got the points removed and I was the first person in the court for the judge to hear my case and change the charge to a no point one and even got a civil reservation to protect me from future law suits from the accident. ( no one was hurt) Thanks Chris . I highly recommend him for anyone else in similar situation as me. HD

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
