In Memoriam
Attorney, Founder

Remembering John at Work

Feroleto Law has grown to have the standards and reputation it has because of founder John Feroleto.

He understood the value of hard work, and was known in the community and by his peers for his willingness to go the extra mile.

It showed in the results he got for his clients. Other lawyers often asked John to handle their trial matters to maximize clients’ recovery.

John was named Trial Attorney of the Year in 2012 by the Western New York affiliate of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. He was called on by national, state, and local associations in the United States and Canada to teach other trial attorneys.

Track Record of Results

John helped numerous clients receive the justice and compensation they deserved after terrible events, including:

  • More than $5 million for multiple fractures and a brain injury sustained in a construction site accident.
  • More than $10 million to a man who suffered catastrophic injuries in a work place accident.
  • A confidential amount to the family of a woman who froze to death after her heating gas was shut off.
  • More than $1 million for injuries sustained by a truck driver in a wheel loss case.
  • More than $1 million to a truck driver whose disabled rig was struck by another tractor trailer.
  • More than $1 million for a motorcyclist cut off by a tractor trailer driver.
  • More than $3 million to a man who suffered multiple fractures and a brain injury in a van rollover.

Remembering John Outside the Office

John was dedicated to his family and community. Married for more than 35 years, he and his wife Paula have three adult children—all of whom have chosen to remain in Western New York.

John was an avid runner who raced lengths from mile to marathon, including the Boston Marathon.

He also enjoyed making his own wine—something his family has done for generations—and cultivating his own vegetable gardens. He was happy to share it all with others.

John’s love of Buffalo ran deep. He loved the city and the people who live in it, and dedicated much of his time each year to charitable causes.

The John Feroleto Memorial Scholarship Fund

In honor of John’s legacy, we have established a yearly scholarship awarded to undergraduate or law students. Focus is placed on first-generation college students or those who demonstrate a strong commitment to community service.
