About
I have completed hundreds of cases with trials and hearings but, more importantly, have been able to settle thousands. This is what keeps money in your pocket at the end of the day!
Ms. Ferrante has been practicing family law and probate which includes the subject matters highlighted in this website, for over 40 years in the same geographical area. This has allowed her to develop a familiarity with the respective judges and a rapport with court staff. This is important for the ease and successful handling of your case. When you hire her, she is the attorney that will be preparing all documents and making all court appearances. Ms. Ferrante’s reputation in the legal community is highly respected which lends credibility to your issues.
Further, it is known that if a case can be settled, Ms. Ferrante can do so. Sometimes, whether due to the intricacies of the law or facts, or simply because of the nature of the participants, it may be impossible to settle all or some of the issues. At that point, it is important to have an experienced litigator by your side. Please review prior client testimonials which attest to these facts. Ms. Ferrante maintains a staff that is attentive, caring and can help you navigate the sometimes murky waters of a divorce or probate related case.
