This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Day notice and won!!

I called Bill Farias for a phone consulting 2 days before a contempt case. He strongly felt I should have representation, due to the increase of child support and the contempt charges. I finally got the funds the day before the Zoom hearing and it was the best decision I have ever made. Attorney Fari...as not only got the contempt charges dismissed, he also ENDED my child support! He is very confident and professional in front of the Judge. In one hearing, he achieved what I have tried to do on my own, 2 hearings prior, to no avail. Attorney Farias is very trustworthy and I have already referred him to 2 of my friends. There is no better out there!

Child support

Bill Farias was able to get DOR to help me negotiate child support arrears. I settled this debt within 15 minutes of him sending me an email with what DOR was willing to settle for. This situation has followed me for years. It was very complicated, confusing and unfair. I feel like a huge weight has ...been lifted from my shoulders. This was the last bit left from a bad time in my life. I am extremely grateful!

My questions were always answered in a timely manner and I was informed every step along the way. Mr. Farias prese...nted my case with confidence and dignity. I was very pleased with winning the decision and the way everything was handled. And kudoos to Nina for her excellent help too. Thank you.

Great help with the Process

Mr. Farias did a fantastic job. We met and during the consultation explained the entire process. I was very impressed on this professionalism and cared what I had to say. He got me through the divorce process and was there every step of the way. I appreciate that he was only a email away to answer an...y questions and responded quickly with an answer. I appreciate all your help and thank you for the best outcome possible. I would highly recommend Mr. Farias.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
