Great Consultation

Spoke with Mr. Ferraro and he seemed like a lawyer that actually wanted to help from the start. Before last year I never had to deal with an attorney and I wish I had looked around. Defiantly would be my top choice. Hopefully I can work with Mr. Ferraro. I found them on Facebook. Every one I came in ...contact with in the office was nice and greeted me. And the receptionist was helpful too. I think no matter what hiring an attorney is going to be expensive. Hopefully I can get the retainer fee, and he can help me close my case.

There's advice...and there's wisdom!

Russ has a gentle approach but strong results. He is not mean and does not get the client overly emotional to justify his existence. He thinks about the case and is deliberate in his approach. He shoots straight about the likelihood of the expected outcome. His knowledge of the law and procedures is ...what really make a difference.

Overcharges and quality of work performed

I hired his firm to write an agreement. The drafts sent to me had spelling, grammatical, and errors in content. There were over 55 errors or omissions that I found in a 25+ page document. I also found errors in the time charged; as well as his claim for fixing his firm's mistakes. At the rates he... charges, the work should have been much better.

I sympathize with the reviewer’s unsatisfied disposition. He disputes the fees charged for the services rendered to him, and for which at the time he appeared satisfied. The complaint about grammatical errors in rough, working drafts was addressed by correcting the errors as well as by providing an explanation for how such drafts are produced, the purpose of the client drafts in rough form, and offering to credit all paralegal fees charged. Unfortunately, this has not satisfied the reviewer. But despite this, my firm adequately represented this individual in preparing the documents he retained us to draft. For over 40 years, my law firm has prided itself on providing exceptional service to its clients, and has worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible result to the greatest extent legally and ethically possible. This is reflected in our outstanding and distinguished reputation among judges, colleagues, and former clients. The simple reality, which all lawyers face, is that some clients will never be happy or satisfied no matter how their matter or particular complaint is resolved.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
