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!

Excellent Representation

I was first drawn to your professional informative website. Then after making the initial phone call and appointment I felt that my needs would be handled with competence and knowledge. 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.

Very good...

I was a bit skeptical hiring a divorce attorney without a personal recommendation from a friend. I found him from Googling divorce lawyers Fall River, MA. I met with him for a consultation and he seemed professional and knowledgeable in divorce. So I gave him a shot. He did everything he said he ...would. His price was fair and we were able to negotiate a reasonable agreement with my ex. I appreciate his cost / benefit approach to the process. If I had to do it again (God spare me if I do) I would not hesitate to hire Bill.

excellent attorney

I would like to start off by giving Mr Farias a 5 star rating. I was a little hesitant on hiring an attorney as most people are due to high costs but as a single mom he was VERY AFFORDABLE. Bill took the time to meet with me, review all the facts and evidence, and always returned my call and emails ...the same day. In the courtroom Bill was my pitbull, but also very professional on representation. Mr Farias got an order that was put on me for my son's father lifted and got me my son back that day! I would not be spending these holidays with my son if it wasn't for Mr Farias! I am so thankful and grateful for the hard work and time Mr Farias put in my case. I recommend the Law Offices of Bill Farias to anyone in need of an attorney for any kind of case.:)

Professional & Intelligent Attorney

If you are looking for a professional, straight forward, hardworking attorney than Attorney Bill Farias is the one. From day one that I encountered Attorney Farias I knew he was what was needed for my mothers child support case. He was easy to talk to, very knowledge and very affordable! Attorney Fa...rias always responded to emails and calls immediately, even on his days off he would respond. You do not see that now a days. I know from here on out if anyone is looking for a Family Law Attorney I will send them directly to Attorney Farias. You can tell he truly enjoys his job and wants to resolve the issue and quickly as possible. Thank you Attorney Farias for making this dreadful process a great experience all because of you and your hard work!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
