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.

Much appreciated, Bianca. I always strive to give a client the full picture of the legal landscape they are facing so they can make the best decision for themselves. Look forward to assisting you in the future.

WOW,, WATCH OUT

Does not keep you informed with your case, he did not review any of the evidence, and was very hard to reach. It took a lot for him to return calls. He quoted me one price and did another. I would not recommend him as a attorney.

I'm not sure which client this is but I do my best to be responsive and communicative with all my clients. I review the evidence in all my cases so I don't where you got the impression I did not do so in yours. I am sorry if there was any confusion over the fee and I regret that you came away with anything less than a positive experience.

BEWARE OF RICHARD DELLA FERA Attorney at law

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!!!

This former client was charged with a first-degree misdemeanor and received a withhold of adjudication and court costs. Unhappy with that outcome and apparently upset that I did not reach out to him after the case was over, he embarked upon a continuing pattern of harassment of me for well over a year through telephone calls, texts and emails. He eventually got to the point where he was demanding a refund of $2,500. He agreed to sign a general release in exchange for the $2,500, something about which I consulted with a Florida bar ethics attorney. When I told the former client I did not want to meet with him in person, he claimed in an email that his feelings were hurt and he now needed $5,000 “in order to begin to heal and move forward.” I refused to be extorted by this man and did not pay him. Moreover, I have the transcript of the trial that shows how I vigorously defended him. He chose to take the stand at testify and was judged to be less than credible.

Very Good Lawyer

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.
