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.

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...

Knowledgable and professional

Mr. Ferrara' s services were excellent his insight and experience in drafting my contracts proved to be invaluable. I also retained him for a liability defense and his performance was more professional than the insurance attorneys I'm use to dealing with on a regular basis. Would and have recomm...end Mr. Ferrara to family, friends and business associates.

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.
