Review Christopher Ferro

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!!

Posted by

Attorney Ferro took on one of the toughest case here in York. From the first day he took the case he was honest with us. He put his heart and soul to winning the case and the outcome was great! He is every professional and has lots of knowledge, very prompt in returning calls and very informative. If you are looking for a defense attorney he is the man!

Chris is a real-deal attorney, he doesn't cut corners and shows up to give you the best outcome possible, unlike other attorneys that have their own bang-for-buck interests at heart. His presence at my pretrial had everyone else next to me in an orange jumpsuit inquiring about his services. He ran circles around the local-yokel prosecuting attorneys and had my case rightfully thrown-out, avoiding a lengthy pre-trial jail-stay and expensive criminal trial. He runs a legitimate law firm, hire him.

I've known Chris Ferro since his original admission to the bar close to 20 years ago. I've been on the opposite side of a number of cases from Chris over the years. I've always found him to a well prepared, knowledgeable advocate for his clients. I have no hesitation in recommending him as an attorney.

Heather Reynosa, Child custody Attorney on Apr 27, 2018

I have know Chris since his days in the York County DA's Office and mine in the York County PD's Office. Chris is both a fierce opponent and advocate. Having also had the opportunity to work on cases with Chris, his skills and experience are an asset to his clients. I highly recommend Chris.

Brian Manchester, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 27, 2018

Chris is an excellent lawyer. I worked with him on an extremely complicated synthetic marijuana case that resulted in he and I becoming the only two lawyers in America to ever get a synthetic marijuana statute ruled unconstitutional ever. Not many lawyers are the first to do things in the law ever. Well he is one of them. I would work with him again in a heart beat and recommend him highly.

Brian Strong, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 26, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Chris for many years and I have great respect for him as a lawyer and as a person. Chris is widely considered one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the region. I refer to him without hesitation.

Thomas Leslie, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 26, 2018
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have worked with Chris on several criminal cases that either went to trial or have been resolved amicably prior to trial. I hold his litigation skills and legal advice in high regard. He conducts himself with class and integrity. I am honored to endorse Chris as a fantastic criminal defense attorney.

Heather Adams, Criminal defense Attorney on May 2, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Chris is a one of the best in York County. You will be well served by his professional, and diligent approach to cases. I once asked an officer who they would choose to represent them if ever needed - their answer: Chris Ferro! Highly recommend!

Cynthia Macdonald, Business Attorney on Feb 26, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I worked with Chris on an multi-state criminal matter. He is an excellent negotiator and a tough litigator when necessary.

Daniel Myshin, Federal crime Attorney on Apr 5, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Chris Ferro is an excellent trial lawyer with a good track record of success for his clients. He is well respected by his colleagues as well as the Court. I would feel very comfortable recommending him to a friend or family member.
