Francis E. Farren, Esq.

I had a pretty serious case and I consulted a lot of attorneys from Hurley, to Foley, to Maurer. None of them really peaked my interest so I kept looking. Found Fran's Avvo page and read the reviews like most propel would. I saw the bad review but also read Fran's response. After I met with him perso...nally, I concluded immediately that the person writing that review was a flake. Mr. Farren was very professional and knowledgable at the outset. Unlike the other attorney's, Mr Farren engaged me during our interview and looked at me directly in my eyes. That is really important to me. After discussing my case with him at length, he put me at ease almost immediately. I was concerned about going to prison but Mr. Farren assured me that if I got sentenced to prison, he promised to "serve my time for me". That's impossible, I know, but it still really put my mind at ease. My stress levels decreased dramatically after meeting with this man face to face. He handled my felony case very professionally, with candor, and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I couldn't have made a better choice in an attorney because Fran got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor, there was no prison time at all, and now I'll be able to put all of this behind me after I get a pardon several years from now and then get my record expunged. I certainly could not do that if convicted of a felony!! Like Hurley, Foley, and Maurer, Mr. Farren did not promise me at the outset I would get a misdemeanor plea. He did, however, work his ass off for me, used the great relationship he had with the prosecutor (since he used to be one of them), and got me a deal better than I could have ever expected!!! If I were permitted to write 1,000 reviews for this man, I honestly would take the time to write them. Simply put, I recommend that you skip the Hurley's, Foley's and Maurer's of this world and give Mr. Farren the opportunity to handle your case. I guarantee you that you will be more than pleased with the results. The fact that he is a Christian also made me trust him that much more.
