Divorce

I came to Bill Farias in need of a lawyer to help me after I was served papers by my now ex husband. I spoke to multiple lawyers and did as much research as I could possibly understand. When I spoke with Bill I was hurting and felt lost, but he is the only one I spoke to that seemed to truly care. I ...didn't know how anything was going to turn out. Bill was able to ease my worry more and more with each meeting/court date. His office worked long hours at times to get all the information necessary and I'm thankful for their patience and kind words. At times it took me longer than it should have to get back to them due to getting lost in my own head at times, but they worked diligently with me to get the best outcome they possibly could. I honestly don't think I could have asked for a better lawyer. I worried day in and day out about how I was going to make it as a single mother, but now I feel as though a great portion of my worries have been lifted. When I had a question they answered within a timely manner sometimes even quicker than I could have anticipated. Like right now it took me a month after my divorce to finally get out of my thoughts and respond back and not a single negative word just more positive words which means more to me than anyone could possibly ever know. His office is still helping me with things even after the divorce was finalized. I am so unbelievably grateful for all their help.

Absolutely amazing.

Bill was hired by me to represent me in a case against my ex husband. Not only did I win the case and got everything I wanted but he’s staff is absolutely the best too. Between him and he’s assistant Nina , I honestly never ever had a single question or concern that was not explained to me in simple ...terms. They always made me feel at ease . I’ve never been in court nor in trouble with the law. This was a custody situation and I had no idea what to do , what to expect, or even what to do with myself once in court. Bill went over step by step with me multiple times and Nina did all that needed to be done in a way it was as stress free as possible to me. Thank you so much you guys and def. will recommend you to anyone that needs legal assistance.

Excellent

Bill is great... He worked for me for about a year and half. From the first consultation to the final hearing, he truly listened to my concerns and everything that I had to say, asked for my input, and likewise gave me his input. He always makes sure to put the children first, and made one not only o...f the the toughest moments of their lives, but also mine, seemingly easy. I could not recommend attorney Farias enough!

True to his description....and much more.

Bill Farias is not only a great lawyer, but a good man. He has a strong and stable center to himself and fierce devotion to his family and life. These qualities are what make a true professional. Such a man will do right by you because his purpose is an honest one. If you want someone to look out... for your best interests yet also have the professionalism and honesty to be upfront and fair by revealing the actual cards on the table so there are no surprises or unrealistic expectations, then you need both. It is no use to hire a lawyer who will offer you outlandish promises to pacify anxieties but yet prove impossible to satisfy. Bill will not promise you a fantasy beyond his power--but what is within his power, he will work tooth and nail to get you real tangible results. Once he lays a plan with you, you can be assured he will do his utmost toward it. And in all likely hood, he will achieve it. His approach is highly aggressive yet with a gentleman's touch. He never argues more than is necessary and his demeanor is always poised and reserved. His arguments stay focused and relevant and he keeps things honest and fair. Such a way makes an impression on a judge and it earns the attorney respect--thereby giving weight to his arguments. These qualities your attorney must embody or you'll never know what to expect in your case and you won't get results. It's not worth remaining behind a shadow of denial from false lofty promises an attorney might feed you. Such a person is not capable to represent you properly. If you are not convinced this far that Bill is your choice--then please peruse the many reviews of his past clients who can also testify to his success. For my part, as my divorce attorney, Bill was not only a fantastic and thorough guide through this unnerving, difficult and life changing process, he was also a supportive and gentle friend who offered a sincerity and calm understanding during this emotionally intense experience. He also exceeded my expectations in what he obtained for me. I was ready to, at times, settle for less just to end this trying process--yet without adding anymore time or cost to the case, Bill calmly assured me of what I deserved. At day's end, he achieved for me my life itself -- my children's best interests and a sound financial new beginning. Please consider Attorney Farias for your case.... In every way, you will not be disappointed.
