The Ferraro Law Firm

What The Ferraro Law Firm does

The Ferraro Law Firm (legal entity: Ferraro Law, P.A.) is a Miami-headquartered, family-controlled plaintiff-side trial law firm founded in 1985 by James L. Ferraro, Sr., now operating as a 51-100 employee professional association. The firm represents individuals and government entities in complex litigation across asbestos and mesothelioma, catastrophic personal injury (brain and spinal cord injury, truck and motor vehicle accidents, burns, rideshare, premises liability, negligent security), environmental toxic exposure (PFAS, benzene, groundwater contamination, Roundup, Camp Lejeune, silicosis), product liability (talcum powder, pelvic mesh, 3M earplugs, electronic cigarettes, automotive defects), commercial litigation (breach of contract, business torts), whistleblower matters (tax whistleblower, qui tam, SEC), consumer protection, defective drugs (Elmiron, Zantac), government entity litigation (insulin price fixing, opioid), and appellate law. Cases are pursued nationwide from the Miami office, often via co-counsel or referral relationships with local firms; PFAS representation currently extends to municipal clients in Florida, Georgia, and Massachusetts.

The firm operates primarily on a contingency fee model for personal injury, mesothelioma, asbestos, product liability, and mass tort matters, with hourly or fixed-fee structures available for commercial litigation and certain whistleblower engagements; clients receive free initial consultations. Customer acquisition runs through two complementary funnels: an inbound attorney referral network (other U.S. law firms route complex cases to Ferraro) and a direct-to-consumer motion (website, national toll-free intake, live chat, social media, and earned media in outlets such as WSJ, NYT, CNBC, NBC, Court TV). Reported case outcomes include a $70.1 million Florida verdict in 2019, a $9 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson in 2020, and over $200 million in combined PFAS settlements for Florida municipalities against 3M, DuPont, Tyco, and BASF.

Ownership is multi-generational family-controlled with no external institutional investors or private equity sponsorship; James Ferraro Sr. remains Founding Shareholder and President, joined by James Ferraro Jr., Andrew Ferraro, and partners including Marc Kunen and Daniel Di Matteo. The firm has expanded its bench through targeted laterals (e.g., Ignacio Segurola ex-Morgan & Morgan in 2024), a December 2025 entry-level hire (Victoria Kelly), and a January 2026 internal promotion to partner (Angelica Novick). Notable practice credentials include attorneys admitted to the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, National Trial Lawyers Top 100 and Top 40 Under 40, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers Rising Stars, Florida's Legal Elite, and a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating.
