Awesome
When seeking a lawyer I came across Mr. Farren in the local yellow pages. I was surprised in how easy going the whole process was from start to finish. His fee was straight forward and never waivered. His services were above and beyond what I expected. No drama. I am completely satisfied and would r...

horrible lawyer!!! total waste of money!!
My experience with Mr. Farren was a complete joke. He was never available to speak with over the phone to prepare for court or answer any questions. The main reason he was hired for this defense case was to subpoena for a surveillance tape as evidence, and he never obtained it or followed up to try t...
When I first read this review, I felt it was completely laughable. Then I realized that a negative review, no matter how false of how slanderous it was, may affect someone else's opinion of my firm so now I feel the need to respond. First, this review wasn't even written by my client. It was written by Tia, the girlfriend of Shane, a young man who hired me to represent him for Careless Driving, Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident, and Failure to Exchange Information at an Accident Scene. If convicted of all of these charges, Shane would be subjected to fines of $280.00 - $1,340.00, 6 points on his license, and a 6-month revocation of his license. Tia did say one correct thing (and one correct thing only). Shane did hire me asking that I get the video of the parking lot at Wawa from where he allegedly left the accident. At the outset, I requested that the State send me a copy of this video during the normal discovery process. They informed me that this video did not exist. Not happy with that response, I personally went to Court and got the Court clerk to sign off on a subpoena that I *HAND DELIVERED* (instead of simply mailing) to the manager at Wawa where the incident occurred. Several weeks later, the manager contacted me and confirmed that no video exists. Any assertion that I did not follow up to retain this video is a complete falsehood. Her comments that I had food stuck to my face, was sloppy in general, spoke unprofessionally, and was completely inconsistent is completely facetious. I ended up securing a plea for Shane to Failure to Report an Accident with a $25.00 fine, 2 points and no loss of license. For some reason, this girl doesn't think this plea was good enough for Shane and, I suppose, she would have preferred to go to a jury trial and risk Shane facing a large fine and losing his driver's license for 6 months. OH!!! GUESS WHO CONVINCED SHANE TO TAKE THE PLEA?!?!?!? THAT'S RIGHT......TIA!!!!!!! CAN YOU SAY ****HYPOCRITE****!!!!!! I am not displeased with how this case was resolved. Actually, *****NO ONE***** would be displeased with how this case was resolved. Simply put, Tia didn't want her "innocent" man to be held accountable at all for leaving the scene of an accident he caused and the fact that he was held accountable, even in the most minimal way possible, apparently frustrated her completely. Now she has chosen to exercise her First Amendment rights by slandering both me and my law firm. Thou shalt not lie. Please say a prayer for this woman so she won't burn in hell.
