Excellent service

He walked me through the whole process, explained every step of the way. Whenever I had questions he would quickly respond . He was very helpful. If anyone would ask me for a lawyer referal it would be him, he's awesome.

Earned bonus

I contacted Nick to represent me with my former employer who was not honoring their commitment to pay on a performance-based bonus. Nick was great to deal with and very upfront about the entire process in terms of setting expectations regarding my situation. I was very impressed with his ability t...o quickly grasp and understand the situation after only a few conversations. That said, my former employer decided to do the right thing and pay me the earned bonus after receiving only one letter from Nick. I would highly recommended Nick when dealing with employment law matters.

Awesome Lawyer; Happy Client

Nick was great to work with. He always took the initiative with communication and always took the time to answer my questions and give me his full attention. I was impressed with the way he handled my personal injury case and satisfied with the outcome. Thanks Nick!!

CEO

Nick Ferraro successfully defended my company from a malicious lawsuit brought on by a former disgruntled employee. His leadership helped move the lawsuit to motion for summary judgement and all seven charges were thrown out. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
