Excellent Attorney!

I was being charged with Felony Theft and Burglary for illegally rescuing a Great Dane from someone who was neglecting him. Mr. Ferrante was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, quickly returned phone calls, answered all my questions, did an over abundance of research, and above all was honest with me, and never gave me false hope. He got me a plea bargain with the State's Attorney to drop the burglary and brought my felony theft down to a misdemeanor with probation and community service. I was facing 13 years in prison and walked away with comparably, next to nothing! I also brought my best friend to him when she got charged with a DUI and hit and run and consulted with him again when I got charged with driving on a suspended license. He does excellent work! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in a situation where legal counsel is needed!

I practice in the areas of business, personal injury and criminal law. I started my career in Southern Maryland clerking for the Honorable Steven G. Chappelle in the Circuit Court for Charles County. After my clerkship I entered private practice representing the interests of insurance companies and large corporations in jurisdictions throughout Maryland and the Distict of Columbia and I have served as counsel to two federal agencies. After eight years I returned to Southern Maryland to live and work and I have maintained a practice in Main Street in Prince Frederick, Maryland since 2002.

Real Estate and Lease preparation/review

Handled a very complex real estate matter involving two leases with purchase options and lease-back options in a very timely fashion.

He is a life saver, Nick has helped me with advice and guidence throug many diffcult situations. He treated me with respect.

I would start out by saying Nick is a trustworthy Lawyer. He was there after 5 which is hard to find and also aviable on weekends. I felt completly confident in the advice Nick was providing to me and my business. He actually was able to handle some situations that much larger law firms could not tackle. I would attribute that to his knowledge in his field but also with the relationships he has made over the years. I found he was repected by his peers and that is not something you find with Lawyers. I would use him and I highly recommend you start and finish your search for a GREAT attorney with Nick.
