Farva is a fantastic lawyer. She represented me in my criminal case and provided more than competent representation. I hope I don't need her services in the future, but if I do, I'm calling her.
I'm not just a lawyer but also a long-time entrepreneur. I own and operate an SSD advocacy firm (Pinnacle Disability), a shipping container and modular home company on top of my law firm. I'm also on the board of multiple businesses spanning diverse fields.
I previously was a Chief Operating Officer and also led the content team at a tech startup in Chicago. My background is also in non-profits and consulting, so I have plenty of experience in problem-solving.
You'll find in working with me that I want to be a partner to my clients, not just an advocate. I build long-term relationships with clients and they will often use me for different services for years to come.

Speeding ticket
Farva Jafri has helped me change a speeding ticket into a moving violation, saving me points on my insurance and not having to go plead my case in an upstate court.

Excellent Trademark lawyer!
Ms. Jafri secured a trademark for us - she was easy to work with, has a kind and caring staff, and is a no-nonsense attorney. Her fees are transparent and we got just what we needed. If there's something she didn't know, she took the time to look it up and work with us. Thanks to her, we have the trademark we need for our business.

Very helpful
They handled my case without me ever having to worry about it. They told me exactly what I needed to do and helped me and kept me updated at the same and most importantly helped lower my ticket offense. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing lawyer in Illinois
Ms. Jafri is dedicated to her craft - that fact that she is admitted in so many different courts (state and federal) is a testament to her dedication to the law. She's a fierce litigator, and will advocate for your rights no matter the situation. I hired her for a federal court matter in Illinois - I can't imagine working with another lawyer or law firm besides Farva Jafri and Jafri Law Firm. Great work.

Fantastic Lawyer in New Jersey!
I have a legal matter in New Jersey pending - it's a foreclosure. Thankfully I found Ms. Jafri. She is super personable and I knew that she would be great for my case. I loved working with her and will continue to refer my colleagues and friends to her.

Exceptional lawyer for litigation, both defendant and plaintiff
Ms. Jafri has represented me as both a defendant and plaintiff in litigation. The issues were very complex and related to insurance fraud. Ms. Jafri always contacted me to clarify facts and issues in the case. She brought me settlement offers and provided me with the counsel I needed. Litigation is very stressful, but Ms. Jafri made things a lot easier to deal with. I would highly recommend her.

Best Lawyer in New York!!
Farva has handled a number of matters for me. She's highly professional and gets back to me timely each time I call her. I've had bankruptcy and back tax issues, and she has always been communicative and helpful. She always kept my expectations realistic. This is the lawyer to hire if you've got a legal problem in New York.

Rare find
Farva took the time to walk me through it and gave me the feeling she GETS IT and can help! I must have called to 7 or 8 other law firms, they all came up short on something (either not really helpful, too pricey, never called back...) thank you.

Excellent Lawyer
Ms. Jafri is responsive and thorough. Even though Covid has proven challenging, Ms. Jafri has been patient and realistic about my case. I have no doubt that her tenaciousness and hard work will result in a great outcome. I highly recommend her to represent you in your legal fight.

Litigation Case with National Company and Health Insurance
Farva Jafri is a diamond in the rough in today's highly transactional world of law and litigation. She is a highly skilled attorney who is attentive to detail and goes above and beyond for her clients. I came to her with a case of an Employer Health plan that was being manipulated by the a major insurance carrier with businesses in several states, the multinational employer and the beneficiary. As a boutique firm they were able to take on Goliath and bring justice to my medical practice. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS.

Absolute Disaster
I was assigned Ms. Jafri thru a third party company to represent me for a series of moving violations. Thru the course of 8 months, Farva was impossible to reach or get in contact with. She gave me phone numbers which would lead to a third party answering service in Florida. A simple task of trying to speak with her would take several attempts and days. She did not conduct her due diligence in handling my case. She did not seem experienced in the matter at all, and instead of admitting her inexperience, she proceeded to complicate my case further instead of helping. I understand that things are complicated during the Covid 19 pandemic, but it is not so hard to contact your client when in need.
My case was preponed to an earlier date than Farva had mentioned by several months. When I contacted her about the matter, she told me that she will speak with the court and let me know by the end of the week as to whether my presence was necessary. Instead, I got a notice from the initial company who assigned her to me, that she is “unavailable”. She dropped herself from the case 3 weeks prior to my court date. This has left me in a bind, scrambling to find an attorney last minute. She not only screwed up my case, but also made a major inconvenience to me at the last minute. She is unprofessional as an attorney. Till now she has not even given the courtesy of a phone call to advise me as to why she has done this. It wasn’t a surprise when I contacted other lawyers regarding me case; many of the lawyers informed me that they have heard of Farva dropping her clients once she finds out that the case is going to trial. She is a miserable excuse for an attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse Farva Jafri. Farva always thinks outside the box, until the box is a vanishing dot on the horizon. Always eager to take on new challenges. Zealous on both the plaintiff's and defendant's sides of cases, a real warrior princess. Will fight to the death for her clients, yet ready to settle on just terms with an adversary who demonstrates its good faith. You can put complete trust and faith in Farva."
