Richard Della Fera is my Advocate and my Champion

I know that everyone arrested claims their innocence, but nearly 20 years ago while attending the University of Miami, i was arrested by a Coral Gables police officer for exercising my 1st Amendment Right of free speech... Granted, and in retrospect, i was a little disrespectful, and would have do...ne things differently, but by no means hostile. i tried to apologize, but was met with brute force and gun drawn, as i was walking away. I was applying school and was afraid for my future and prospects as a surgeon one day, and i was a student on a budget with no income. Rich was not only compassionate and easy to talk to, be equally EXCELLENT in his profession. He kept me in the loop every step of the way, and even gave me his cell number. The charges were dropped almost immediately, and i wholeheartedly and emphatically RECOMMEND HIM!! He was my Advocate and my Champion, and i am eternally grateful to both his expertise and his compassion. He is kind, efficient, and i have come to find, a talented musician. Rich, i can honestly say that without you, my life would have turned out differently. You have my eternal GRATITUDE, Jim R.

Jim: It is really flattering that you have remembered me all these years and that you took the time to post a review. I'm also glad to hear that you are dong well. If I can ever be of assistance to you or a friend or family member, I have the same cell number I had 20 years ago (954-232-2504) and am available to take the call! Take care, Richard

Above and beyond results.

I hired Richard to represent my daughter against a felony charge. While we strongly believed she was innocent, we knew it was an uphill and hard battle to win. Richard immediately went to work gathering the facts and developing the defense leaving no stone upturned. Once all the facts were analyze...d, Richard went far above the norm and presented a compelling case to the D.A. pre-trial and they agreed to drop all charges. Anyone who has gone through "the system" knows this is almost unheard of. I would recommend Richard, without any hesitation, to my closest friends and relatives.

Vince, I am beyond elated that I could prevent a real travesty of justice in your daughter's case. You well know that the State is likely to press a bogus prosecution just to save the face of the arresting officer. I was determined that this not be the case and it was very satisfying to me to make this result happen.

Realistic Legal Opinions

My companies relationship with Richard is on a consistent retainer. Unfortunately, we live in a litigious society and as a business owner I need to know my attorney is giving realistic legal opinions. He offers a wealth of information on how to navigate through my business legal issues as they arise.... Making sure to lead the company away from scorched earth scenarios. He is always available when not in court. As a business owner we find his services invaluable and unmatched by legal counsel we have sought in the past.

Landlord dispute

have known attorney Richard Della Fera for over 10 years. It is so comforting knowing he is always available to advocate for me when I've been taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords or business owners. It's unfortunate we live in a world where people often don't do the right thing and having... a lawyer with integrity on your side is a gift.

Very conscientious and proactive

We hired MR Della Fera for early intervention on potential criminal charges.. My family member was caught up in some serious charges through some poor decisions and bad relationships. Mr della fera was not only successful in negotiating the best possible outcome and getting the charges dropped but... he was always available to speak with multiple family members at any given time and separately in explaining the process along the way. I've never met an attorney that was so caring and concerned for not only the client but the extended family as well. Additionaly, Mr. Della Fera sbowed tremendous integrity throughout this very serious ordeal and never made unattainable promises. He was very clear in explaining his strategy Even though there was no guarantee we would have such a successful outcome.

Thank you so much for your review and kind words, Kathy. I always recommend hiring a lawyer at the first sign of a problem and you were wise to be proactive. I'm happy that I was able to procure the result I obtained and I'm glad you and your family were so pleased with my representation. Best Regards!
