Dan Ferri is a partner at DiCello Levitt whose practice focuses on representing public clients and consumers in high-impact matters involving fraud, breach of contract, and deceptive or unfair business practices. He has helped achieve hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries on behalf of states, municipalities, consumers, and 401(k) plans and participants—bringing an aggressive approach and a strong command of the law to every stage of litigation. His current clients include the States of New Mexico, Arizona, and Kentucky, and the City of Baltimore.
Dan has played a critical role on teams handling a wide range of complex public client and consumer matters. He helped secure final approval of a $175 million post-trial settlement for more than 40,000 General Motors vehicle owners after he and his partners obtained a jury verdict in one of the few automotive defect class actions ever tried to verdict.
In the public client space, Dan successfully represented the State of New Mexico in litigation against AbbVie concerning the marketing and sale of the testosterone replacement drug AndroGel. Dan also helped lead New Mexico’s “clean diesel” litigation against Volkswagen, as well as its litigation against automakers for selling vehicles equipped with dangerous Takata airbag inflators, securing settlements in each litigation that delivered the strongest per-vehicle recoveries in the country.
Dan currently represents consumers in a class action against Honda over 2015–2021 Honda and Acura vehicles equipped with an automatic idle-stop feature that can fail to restart the engine, leaving vehicles unexpectedly inoperable in traffic. In addition, he is part of the team representing the City of Baltimore in litigation against DraftKings and FanDuel, alleging deceptive promotions and data-driven targeting designed to exploit vulnerable gamblers in violation of Baltimore’s Consumer Protection Ordinance. His practice also includes representing 401(k) plans and participants in actions brought under ERISA, along with other complex consumer, public client, and insurance-related class actions.
Dan is a member of the Northern District of Illinois Trial Bar.
