"I have seen Gary Farrell in action as a homicide prosecutor and as a criminal defense attorney. His ability, experience and work ethic make him one of the best criminal defense attorneys in New York. He has handled the toughest clients and the toughest cases, yet he comes across as a regular guy who wants to help people in their direst moments. In case you haven't figured it out by now, I highly endorse him."
"Mr. Farrell is an excellent, experienced criminal defense lawyer. I highly recommend him."
"Always very prepared. Strong litigator. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. We represented co-defendants charged to be acting in-concert on a violent felony. We were able to work together in furtherance of our separate clients' interests, and together we were able to get a sweetheart deal for each of our clients. Whether motion practice is required or some other time consuming task, Mr. Farrell was willing to do whatever it took to keep his client out of jail. On this 4 felony charge with two eyewitnesses, we were able to secure a misdemeanor charge with no jail time - probabtion only - after requesting that the Court re-review the grand jury minutes and consider dismissing all charges. While the charges were not dismissed, our clients were both extremely satisifed with the outcome. I will refer all criminal work in NYC to Mr. Farrell in the future."
