Posted by Leah | August 04, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

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!

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.

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.

Divorce

Atty Farias and his assistant Nina were extremely helpful throughout my divorce They were very helpful, informative, and considerate. Both were always dependable in that whenever I had a question or issue arise I could text, call, or email and know I would get an immediate response or one soon therea...fter from one of them. Nina is a great asset in that office. I dont have anything negative to say. I would recommend bill farias to anyone.

Would definitely recommend

Atty Farias and his assistant Nina were extremely helpful throughout my latest probate issues. They were very helpful, informative, and considerate. Both were always dependable in that whenever I had a question or issue arise I could text, call, or email and know I would get an immediate response ...or one soon thereafter from one of them. Nina is a great asset in that office. If I had anything negative to say it would have to do with gaining access a couple of times to emailed forms but that had nothing to do with the office and more to do with operator error and the program compatibility of computers I used.

  • 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.
