At the law office of Rick L. Ferrara, Esq., I provide principled representation and professional legal services.  My office is a full service practice, focusing on a broad range of criminal and civil litigation matters.

Direct Representation: 

Criminal Defense: Contact me if you have been charged with a crime.  I operate on the principle that my clients deserve more than just their constitutional right to effective counsel, regardless of the offense with which they are charged. Your liberty should be protected by dedicated, knowledgeable and vigorous defense counsel.

Small Business Disputes: Contact me if you have not been paid by other businesses for your goods and services, or feel that a contract into which you entered has been breached. When disputes seem irresolvable between you and your clients or vendors, outside legal counsel can help you identify your rights and options.

Landlord/Tenant Disputes: Contact me if you are a landlord or tenant who feels that their lease has been breached. When this occurs, and the other party has not abided by your contract, legal assistance may be the next step to protecting your rights.

Land Use Dispute: Contact me if you have been sent a letter by a condominium association or land owner disputing your right to use property. My office can assist in determining your rights and obligations. Your right to use real estate deserves the same, if not more protection than any of your other personal liberties.

Appeals: Contact me if you have lost at trial in either a civil or criminal matter. Oftentimes, an eloquent and precise appeal can be the difference between winning and losing on an ultimate issue, even after the trial stage has ended.

Appellate and Motion Drafting:  

Appellate Drafting: Contact me if your law firm would benefit from outside appellate drafting, especially if you neither have the staffing nor time to dedicate to critical, but time-consuming research projects. I can provide skillful research and drafting, as well as navigate complex appellate issues and craft creative, structured, and dynamic appellate arguments.

Motion/Memorandum Drafting: Contact me if your law firm would benefit from outside motion or memorandum drafting, especially if you have neither have the staffing nor time to dedicate to critical, but specific research projects. I can provide articulate, powerful motions to buttress any of your litigation efforts; or simply provide the objective, detailed research memoranda you need.
