Excellent!
I recently reached out to Bill for advice on how to proceed with a prenup. Bill took the time to review my questions and was very professional. He explained everything and was up-front from the start. Great experience, would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Attended a hearing with court magistrate
Bill was very helpful. He responded to the initial inquiry promptly, and was thorough while gathering information. At the hearing, he represented my son well, and brought forward concerns without being confrontational with the police officer. He was compassionate and seemed to really care about our family. I would highly recommend.

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 Farias 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!

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 presented 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 any 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.

Bill helped make the difficult divorce process easier!
When you think of divorce and attorneys, you think big bucks and stress. Not with Bill Farias. Bill was extremely flexible on payments and continuously updated me on the status of the divorce proceedings. He always had my interest in mind. For that, I am grateful.

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 thereafter 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.

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.

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.

Excellent overall representation
I originally consulted with Bill after a poor experience with another attorney. Bill stepped in and initially advised me on my best options. Bill then worked with me to structure his fees in a way that made sense for me given the limited scope of my legal needs, the restructuring of the payment of support and alimony. Bill is a very competent lawyer, knows the law, and won't provide you with groundless legal advice. His staff is also very good, and always returned my calls and emails. Most importantly, he obtained a good outcome to my case, and I am very pleased. I work with many attorneys in my job, and know the good ones from the not so good. Bill is a very good attorney and I recommend him.

Excellent help, personable and professional
After my initially self-completed divorce documents were sent back by a judge, I found Bill during an online search and did some research on him; every place I found recommended him highly, so I took the step of asking him to review my documents. We spoke at length about all of my concerns and paperwork, and his review and recommendations were well thought-out and complete. Bill gave me the time I needed, including emailing me back at 9:30 on a Sunday night! At the start of the process, I didn’t think I needed a lawyer, but having Bill review my paperwork and be on-call in case of a problem put my mind at ease. Thanks Bill!
