Andrea Farney Review

Ms. Farney was very thorough in her review and consultation of my employment and contract concerns. She honestly and succintly provided feedback and information, as well as suggested actions steps to help me work through the process and reach a decision about my continued employment.

An Attorney Who Cares

I hired Andrea in May, 2012 to handle an age discrimination claim against my former employer. It took around two and a half years but we finally reached a favorable settlement. The most impressive thing about Andrea and her partner, Sharon Lopez, is the fact that they actually care about their client...s and they are not in it for just the money. Andrea works very hard for her clients and is easily accessible when you have questions and concerns, and most importantly she loves what she is doing. I used to kid her that she was a "law nerd" because that is how much she is into what she is doing. If you want an attorney who will work her butt off for you and actually cares about you, then this is the attorney for you. I can't thank her enough.

Better Than a Therapist!

When I went to see Attorney Andrea Farney, I was a nervous wreck from a nightmare employment situation. Meeting with her took away 70% of my stress. She made me feel safe and it was such a relief to have someone protecting me and my rights. She was more than fair with billing, often not charging m...e for emails and short phone calls so we could have open communication. I did not have to worry about what I should tell her about for fear of racking up a large bill. This is so important in an attorney. I have seen details of friends attorney bills where they are charged for every five minute phone call. She also did an amazing job. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. She informed me of money owed to me by my employer which more than covered my attorney costs. I was definitely blessed when a friend referred her to me. If you’re in a nightmare employment situation, skip the xanax and therapists. Hire Andrea!

Discrimination and Employment Law attorney

Attorney Farney represented me on an employment matter from July 2011 through February 2012. I found her approach to be thorough, timely and professional. Her professionalism keeps her attention on the pertinent facts of the case and her method of inquiry was very effective at obtaining the informat...ion she needed from me to proceed with affective litigation of my case. I would recommend her to anyone seeking employment law representation.

Andrea Farney review

Andrea is the best lawyer that I have ever worked with. She differs from the others in that she truly listens to her clients and is concerned primarily with getting the best solution for them, which is not always the fastest or easiest one. I never felt that she simply wanted to clear her desk of my ...case and move on the the next one. She always responded to my calls and email, usually within 24 hours or less. Andrea is also very fair with her billing. I felt that she was worth every penny that she charged and that she did not try to nickle-and-dime me for every little thing. I have recommended her to my colleagues, who have been very satisfied with her. If you want someone who is sympathetic, knowledgeable, reasonable, professional, and effective, you can do no better than Andrea Farney. Even the bigger firms in town will direct you to her for employment law.
