Best lawyer in my opinion

I recently obtained James Farmer for a good amount of traffic citations and a warrant issue. I couldn't be happier with my choice to hire him. He was understanding about financial set backs . Was down to earth and straight to the point. Needless to say he worked his magic and I appreciate his hard wo...rk.

Outstanding attorney

James e farmer worked great with my case. I was facing a violation of probation 2 years of back up time. James E farmer and Melvin Allen from James f farmer Law Firm. Use their legal skills to fight for my freedom I walked out of court as a free man with $157 fine. Thanks to them both this is one of ...the best law firms in Maryland. Now i can continue my education to get my bachelor's degree.

Awesome DUI Attorney

I hired James E. Farmer to represent me for a DUI, which unfortunately, was not my first or second offense. Mr. Farmer worked aggressively with the State's Attorney to reach a deal that was much, much better than I could have ever anticipated. The firm also handled my MVA hearing, which allowed me ...to operate vehicles. He also was extremely impressive in front of the Judge. Other lawyers asked him for advice in court, which I found reassuring. I highly recommend Mr. Farmer.

Dui

Mr James E Farmer is a lawyer that cares about you and what is best for you. From the very first time I meet him he treated me like I was his only client. I was facing some really big charges and I was very scared and hysterical. He calmed me down and treated me like I was family. Him and his team wo...rked day and night on my case and was there anytime I needed to talk or come see him. He always explained exactly what was going on so I could understand it. After all was said and done, the outcome was AWSOME. He kept. Me out of jail , I wS facing at least a year or more. Till this day he is still there helping me figure everything out that I need to do so that I meet all my requirements that the courts set. If you are looking for a top notch lawyer who cares about you hire Mr James E Farmer. Hands down!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
