BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!!
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!

You need no one else...
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.

Excellent Representation
Chris was hired for guidance on a DUI arrest. He was professional and very caring during a very upsetting situation. His explanation of options and what to expect were extremely accurate. He responded to emails and texts timely which was greatly appreciated. We were impressed at how well respected he is within the legal community including Judges. As we got to know him it was no surprise as he was always prepared and on time. Also, everyone Chris came in contact with was treated with respect. Chris was recommended by several well respected attorneys and based on our first hand experience I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Service
I contacted Chris and he met with me quickly, reviewed and accepted my case. Chris did an excellent job with all aspects of my case. I would recommend him to anyone with a need for professional service of this type.

Ferro is simply the Best criminal lawyer in York
Chris Ferro is the man you hope you never have to call. But if you have to call, he is the first man And the only man you must call. Chris had the right balance of sympathy, candor and knowledge to take charge of my situation immediately at the initial meeting. His strategy and execution proved to be spot on as he successfully worked his plan to perfection. I believe Chris exceeded my expectations and fully lived up to his reputation as the best criminal attorney in York Pa. I fully endorse Chris Ferro Esq as one of the best in business in criminal law. I would undoubtably seek exclusively him should I find myself in need of his one of a kind talents. And it’s rare to find one of his skill and savvy who also happens to be a great human being full of integrity, honesty, and sympathy. Chris Ferro is a pro’s pro. He is highly sought after for a reason, and he lives up to that billing in every way. I owe Chris a debt of gratitude for which I can never repay. If your need is dire, this is THE MAN you must hire.

Defense attorney for our son
Attorney Ferro represented my son, a minor, who was charged as an adult with felony charges. He was able to get my son's charges decertified, and gave us the outcome we prayed for. Attorney Ferro was professional, extremely knowledgeable and very encouraging to a boy and his family who ran the gamut of emotions. We were blindsided in the beginning and overwhelmed to say the least. Attorney Ferro came highly recommended from several different sources. We wanted the best attorney possible, and we surely got it! I will forever refer anyone looking for an attorney to Attorney Ferro. We are so thankful to him!

Thank you for a job well done!
We were fortunate to have found Chris. Our son was facing charges in York and we did not know who to contact for help. Coming from York, Chris' background and familiarity made him the right choice. Chris was patient and understanding of the situation and worked hard to get the best possible outcome for us. He walked us through each step of the process making sure we were comfortable and understood everything that was happening throughout the entire process. Chris made sure we got the result we wanted. Chris was fantastic and we could not recommend him more highly.

Disappointed
We consulted with Chris Ferro at a cost of $750 to discuss a drug charge. At that time we decided to use him for the case due to feeling confident in his words. Therefore, we finished with a payment of $1750 to have him appear at the first initial hearing. Totaling $2500 so far. Unfortunately, nothing was accomplished at that first hearing and the witness who was subpoenaed to support his case was not called on. Communication and discussion of the case did not feel like top priority during that short amount of time. We were then asked for a payment of $3500 for him to appear at the following hearing that was scheduled 1 month away. We have decided not to go forward with using Chris as the lawyer, due to these circumstances. We did have high hopes initially since the reviews were mostly great and he portrayed the case being fairly simple to fight. We are currently consulting with a new lawyer in the hopes that he is fought for more diligently and gets the help he needs to move forward.

"My name is Steve Rice. I am a fellow criminal defense attorney. I was never represented by Chris Ferro. But I have seen him action. I have also tried a case with him. I have known him most of my professional career. He is my colleague, friend, and my competition. I could tell you that Chris is widely regarded as the finest criminal defense attorney in York. I could tell you that he has the skill set and experience to back it up. I could tell you that, all of that, and it would all be true. But what I am going to tell you is to disregard it. I want you to ask a single question. Just one. Ask anyone in the criminal justice system, anyone who will listen to you, as many people as you can. Ask each of them one question: If you were charged with something serious, something like rape or murder, if your freedom and life were on on the line, who would you call? If money were no object, who would it be? The best review I can think of is the answer to that question."
Litigation Attorney | May 08
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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."
Criminal defense Attorney | Apr 27
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"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."
Criminal defense Attorney | Apr 27
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"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."
Criminal defense Attorney | Apr 26
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."
Criminal defense Attorney | Apr 26
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."
Criminal defense Attorney | May 02
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!"
Criminal defense Attorney | Feb 26
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."
Federal crime Attorney | Apr 05
