Greatest lawyer/Attorney

Mr. Spiro Ferris has been a GREAT LAWYER, who helped me win a VERY difficult case. He's been in my family for years and won numerous of cases for other family members. Mr. Spiro Ferris make you feel as comfortable as possible as a client should. He tells you all the information needed to win your cas...e. In fact he even explains it from every aspect possible. This fella is always available when you need answers and is willing to give you one hundred percent of his time. At any giving time I will recommend him to friends, family, and even strangers that is going through any type of criminal case. This man was very brilliant on my case and even worked with me on payments and limited budgets. Overall Mr. Spiro Ferris is the best Lawyer/Attorney to have to represent you on your case. Hands down!!

I used about 12 different lawyers in my life from criminal defense to buying & selling property, Spiro Ferris is one of the best

I'm met Sprio fierris in an elevator he gave me his business card and told me his rates are very reasonable, next day I hired him. I had three cases in the year of 2013, Sprio fierris handled them all, you probably think I'm a bad guy but I'm not, I'm actually a businessman, I have a property man...agement business and I just came out with a new natural Organic herbal product that helps diabetes, Www.DiabeticReversal.com, just had the streak of bad luck but that's all over now thanks to Sprio fierris. My first case I had 14 charges(Indict # 5261-13), 4 of them were felony charges, Sprio fierris got them all thrown out but got one charge, he got it reduced to a disorderly conduct with no probation or nothing and I have to staying out of trouble for 1 year. The interesting thing about Sprio fierris he handled it by phone, in other words they had their own private court session over the phone him and the DA then he would call me, back and forth so when we did go to court we all know exactly where we were headed, DISMISSAL, thanks Sprio fierris your the greatest. And as for the gentleman that made the comment Sprio fierris is money hungy, that's so not true, one of my cases was a DWI, I called Sprio fierris after i was already arrested and was arranged in court the next day and of course I had no money on me, once he got me out he said "on your next court date (which was a month away) bring the payment then for representing you in your DWI case. My last lawyer would lift a finger unless i had someone at court with cash/no check. So you see money hungry dosen't fit Sprio fierris profile. Thanks James L Bradley Jr

A HERO

Spero L. Ferris is the epitome of what you want in a lawyer. I was wrongfully charged for somethings I did not do. After only two trips to court my case was tossed. I was scared when I was facing charges for something I did not do. After talking with Spero I felt at ease. He respected our time on th...e case and made sure I knew everything that was happening with my criminal case. He made sure I knew all options. He also gave me a call on our days for court. I have known Spero for years and has always been there for me and he will be there for you. I would not make any legal decision without calling him first. With all his 32 years of experience I'm sure he can shed some light on whatever issue you have. Call him first.

The Best Criminal Defense Attorney in NYC

Words like highly competent, trustworthy, responsive, personable, knowledgeable, fair, "a winner" are words that describe criminal defense attorney, Spiro Ferris. If you ever are charged with a criminal offense no matter how small or large, Spiro Ferris is your man. He will explain the charges to you... and lay out the best defense. He takes you through the entire process, keeps you informed and is there for you every step of the way. He got my wrongful felony charge pleaded down to only a violation and then, after a small amount of community service, dismissed completely from my record after one year. You could not have a better criminal defense attorney than Spiro Ferris. I recommend him most highly.

"I give my highest rating and endorsement to Attorney Spiro Ferris. I have known Mr. Ferris for over 30 years as a close personal friend and fellow defense attorney. I have tracked Spiro’s legal career as it has developed from the Bronx District Attorney's Office in the early 1980's where he was a very successful prosecutor through the develop-ment of his private practice in New York City to the present. Without a doubt, he is one of the most talented criminal trial lawyers in Manhattan. I know of no other lawyer who prepares his cases more thoroughly than Mr. Ferris. His hard work and dedication to his clients' cases are demonstrated by his impeccable track record and successes in winning case after case, trial after trial, as is oftentimes reported in the various New York City newspapers. Put simply, Spiro has the strongest work ethic and is one of the most skilled trial attorneys I have had the good fortune to know."
