Posted by Kathy | December 02, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Thank-You

On July 3, 2020, I became a victim of Domestic Violence. My husband strangled me, assaulted my adult son and destroyed our home. Charges were pressed against him through the District Attorney's Office (DA). The DA referred me to Victims Intervention Program (VIP), where I received counseling. During ...one of my counseling sessions, I was informed VIP had a divorce referral program. VIP referred me to Attorney Farrell in 2021. 2021 was the year of Covid. The initial consultation between Attorney Farrell and myself occurred between a glass door. Attorney Farrell and I discussed possible divorce proceedings. He provided me with details involved to obtain a divorce in Pennsylvania, listened attentively and answered my questions. Attorney Farrell became my divorce attorney. The next four years proved to be trying. During that time, my ex-husband was incarcerated. I obtained a Protection from Abuse (PFA) Order against him. On several occasions, he violated the PFA. Attorney Farrell provided me with exceptional legal counsel. He returned my calls swiftly, addressed my concerns and provide genuine guidance. He kept me abreast of the legal proceedings. He was through, patient and honest. His representation and expertise in the courtroom was exceptional. Thank-you Attorney Farrell and staff. All your time spent, the legal support, guidance, and your representation was remarkable. It's good to know, there are still good people in the world. You didn't have to help me, but you did...pro-bono. I will always be grateful.

Bad Advise

We had a very disappointing and costly experience with Christopher E. Farrell. The legal advice he provided was not only unhelpful but ultimately led to thousands of dollars in unnecessary losses. Instead of guiding us through the process, he relied on scare tactics and a condescending attitude to pu...sh his opinions, often making us feel like we had no say in decisions that directly impacted us. Communication was poor, and any attempt to ask reasonable questions was met with hostility. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone seeking respectful, competent, and client-focused representation.

Compassionate

I called Attorney Farrell because my mother was ill in the hospital. Chris and his paralegal stopped everything to prepare my mother's updated will and power of attorney. That evening, Chris and his notary went to the hospital and met with my mother and everything was signed and notarized. He answere...d all her questions and was so kind to me and my siblings. Thank you Attorney Farrell!

CHRISTOPHER FARRELL IS A CROOK

Christopher Farrell will do anything in his power to make sure that he is squeezing every last penny out of you. He does not care for his clients. He is rude, unprofessional, and negligent. His secretary is an incompetent yes man. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN.

Beware...

If you’re looking for a law office that can provide a simpleton for a secretary as well as a pretentious attorney, congratulations, the law office of Christopher E. Farrell is where your search concludes. Following the unfortunate events that associated my family with this so called law firm, I’ve ne...ver seen a more unprofessional, ignorant and ill-mannered group of people at an establishment. Here you will find an attorney that is not only completely money hungry, but you’ll have the experience to see firsthand what it’s like to deal with a man child. Services he can provide to you may include but are not limited to: Patronizing remarks, deplorable attempts at making you feel a sense of indebtedness, and having a door slammed in your face when you decide take your business elsewhere. Christopher Farrell’s egotistical remarks and his secretary’s pitiful attempts to deliver a coherent thought, although took a lot of patience on our end, will be something my family can take away from this experience as comical. The Honesdale area has many phenomenal attorneys who are professional, compassionate and have your best interest in mind. Although that is most definitely NOT something Christoper Farrell’s law office could provide us, I’m relieved to have found a new law firm that does just that. Take into consideration not only mine, but every other negative review before choosing these people to assist you with your legal issues. If you find yourself making the grave mistake of trusting this company don’t worry.. When Christopher Farrell childishly closes (slams) his door, a MUCH better one will open up for you.
