Honest and Caring

Having a complex set of circumstances Dave was compassionate and honest giving the much needed understanding and sincerity I needed. He was always there when I reached out to him and had my best interests at heart. I have great respect and gratitude for all he has done.

Outstanding lawyer!

I was facing simple assault and harassment charges from an altercation where I was only defending myself. The current lawyer I had for my case was not doing a sufficient job in guiding me in the right direction and was telling me to take the plea bargain. I refused, as I knew I did not commit the cri...me. After searching for a new lawyer, I found Dave. Dave believed in my case and worked tirelessly to gather evidence to prove my innocence. He met with my witness and I numerous times and every time he calmed our nerves every time because he reassured us he could properly defend and prove this act of self defense. Dave is very professional, helpful and intelligent. In the end, Dave's knowledge and hard work proved my innocence! I would recommend Dave to anyone in any criminal situation, he is a very dedicated professional who knows what he is doing!

Look No Further - JDF is amazing!

I met Dave in 2004. He is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I ever met. He was heavily involved as part of my legal team at my criminal sentencing as well as my Reinstatement Hearing. Personally, he is constantly giving back to the community by service on Boards. If I need legal advice,... on anything, I call Dave first. He is caring, committed, detail oriented and honest. He knows the law and also has a deep understanding of the justice system.

Excellent Attorney

David has helped me and my family with several legal matters and has been very helpful with consultations and advice when needed. He was always available to answer any questions, and always presented himself in a professional manner.

"I have known J. David Farrell from his earliest days at the bar, 35 years ago. Over the years we have developed a close professional relationship wherein I refer cases to him because I know they will receive prompt, honest, and vigorous representation. Cases I refer to him are criminal in nature and outside of my practice area. Having David to refer these matters to, allows me to service my clients across the broad spectrum of legal problem.
