Svetlana F. May 27, 2024

Best Attorney in Asheville !!!! As an original Ukrainian, I have no prior knowledge of the rules and laws of this country. The only rule I know is to I live by to ALWAYS be honest, no matter where you go. My case involved a breach of fiduciary responsibility on the part of my dual broker that I was deceived by, a major NC state real estate company, and a seller who conspired with the broker to commit the fraud to steal my money. I spent over two years going through hell and surviving in conditions that no one should have to endure. This caused me psychological trauma from which I will always bear the scars. Unfortunately, NC is one of the states which do not provide compensation for psychological pain and suffering, but Edd did his best to recover some of my money so I could move on with my life. In the past, I have heard so many times from people that they don't trust attorneys this days anymore, and that's probably true, but it is not the case with Edd. During my time working with Edd, I discovered that he was not only an experienced trial attorney but also a good person. Edd is a compassionate and hardworking attorney who puts his clients' best interests first; he is not afraid to fight for what is right and is committed to helping those who have been wronged. I will always be grateful to Edd Ferikas for handling my case with attention to details and a relentless pursuit of justice in my favor along with his big heart.
