Richard Della Fera is my Advocate and my Champion
I know that everyone arrested claims their innocence, but nearly 20 years ago while attending the University of Miami, i was arrested by a Coral Gables police officer for exercising my 1st Amendment Right of free speech... Granted, and in retrospect, i was a little disrespectful, and would have done things differently, but by no means hostile. i tried to apologize, but was met with brute force and gun drawn, as i was walking away. I was applying school and was afraid for my future and prospects as a surgeon one day, and i was a student on a budget with no income. Rich was not only compassionate and easy to talk to, be equally EXCELLENT in his profession. He kept me in the loop every step of the way, and even gave me his cell number. The charges were dropped almost immediately, and i wholeheartedly and emphatically RECOMMEND HIM!! He was my Advocate and my Champion, and i am eternally grateful to both his expertise and his compassion. He is kind, efficient, and i have come to find, a talented musician. Rich, i can honestly say that without you, my life would have turned out differently. You have my eternal GRATITUDE, Jim R.

Above and beyond results.
I hired Richard to represent my daughter against a felony charge. While we strongly believed she was innocent, we knew it was an uphill and hard battle to win. Richard immediately went to work gathering the facts and developing the defense leaving no stone upturned. Once all the facts were analyzed, Richard went far above the norm and presented a compelling case to the D.A. pre-trial and they agreed to drop all charges. Anyone who has gone through "the system" knows this is almost unheard of. I would recommend Richard, without any hesitation, to my closest friends and relatives.

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.

Landlord dispute
have known attorney Richard Della Fera for over 10 years. It is so comforting knowing he is always available to advocate for me when I've been taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords or business owners. It's unfortunate we live in a world where people often don't do the right thing and having a lawyer with integrity on your side is a gift.

Very conscientious and proactive

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.

Either a Liar or EXTREMELY incompetent
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.

I have in my possession, an NDA (non disclosure agreement) from Richard Della Fera attempting to buy my silence for the sum of $2500 in return to never speak nor review negatively his poor performance and actions in my case. What honest and ethical attorney would do this? Easy answer......... NONE! In my case, Richard was dishonest, unprofessional, and clearly unethical. Needless to say, I DID NOT SIGN THE AGREEMENT !!

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 of the issue and is a very professional and diligent lawyer of the highest caliber. I would happily recommend him to my friends.

Richard Della Fera, in my case, was DISHONEST, UNPROFESSIONAL & UNETHICAL. I have in my possession, a document from Richard, offering $2500 to silence me for " INFINITY AND BEYOND" from ever negatively speaking and/or reviewing his poor defense and actions. What ethical attorney would do this? or better yet...., Why would he do this? ...... clearly to cover his behind !! If you are considering using this "lawyer"... DON'T !! You have been warned !!
