Richard Francis Della Fera

For 7 months leading up to my trial, Richard continually proclaimed " This is a slam dunk, don't worry about anything" Well it was....... until he entered the courtroom. The evidence presented was not only vague but contradicted itself , a "physically trembling" rookie prosecutor, per...jury committing officers that he did not challenge at all ! Handing the judge a distorted unreadable case study, In my case Richard Della Fera was Dishonest, unprofessional, unethical. I have in my possession a document from Richard offering $2500.00 to silence me "FOREVER" from ever speaking negatively and /or reviewing his poor defense and actions. What ethical attorney would do that? & Why would he do that? After court the only words Richard spoke to me was "I'm sorry" & then he walked away. Over 15 months has passed & he has refused to discuss what happened in court. Whenever I attempted to speak with him he became angry, talked & yelled over me, not allowing me to finish what I had to say. I would not recommend Richard Della Fera. His defense in my case was that of a first year attorney at best. Take your chances elsewhere, or drive through town flipping your money out the window. You have been warned!!!

I was referred to Richard Della Fera by a friend who had used his legal services. I cannot thank Mr. Della Fera enough for helping me with my case. He won my case and saved me a lot of money in legal fees and fines. I will forever be grateful to him for all of his help. He quickly got to the root o...f the issue and is a very professional and diligent lawyer of the highest caliber. I would happily recommend him to my friends.

So glad to finally hear others that had the same issues I had. I wanted to meet with him prior to the case for strategy, information, etc. He kept telling me he didn't see a need. Two weeks before trial we had a blowout over this on the phone and he suggested I would be happier with another lawyer ...I said yes. We went to court for them to rule on the withdrawal, R.D. then turned and said it was my idea for a new lawyer and said I was lying about not being able to see him. The prosecution did not disclose the material evidence to the case and R.D. did not request material. I was convicted solely on perjured testimony by a prosecution witness. The 11th Circuit and the Supreme Court have held in previous cases that I could not be prosecuted. My case should have merely been a pre-trial motion to dismiss based on precedence, instead I went to prison. R.D. is very intelligent and can put up a good smoke screen. I don't know what his issue is, if he prefers his music to his work, if he's just lazy, sleazy or has some other issue but clearly legal defense is not his strong suit.

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.
