AVOID!!

She was responsive before I signed the contract. From that point forward she was an absolute space cadet. She would only take action on my case when I called her after receiving a letting from the opposing side, for her to only misquote me in her response to them or tell me to ignore them. Her ONL...Y real communication with opposing side was an email that COMPLETELY misrepresented my case and what I said. She seldom remembered anything about the case and clearly did far less than what she billed for it. Her bills were overblown and fabricated. She did not give me recommendations but instead asked me what she should do next. At one point I confronted her about making absolutely no headway despite the fact many months and thousands I paid and she agreed to do some pro bono work. In the end I declined her free help and settled the case without her. I was able to work with HRC of Maryland and get a far more favorable settlement than what she recommended I take. She was a TOTAL waste of money. I could not recommend enough that you stay well away.

Excellent Service

I was surprised to see the negative reviews about Mindy Farber, especially regarding communication issues. Mindy Farber represented me recently (2015). During this time, I NEVER had problems contacting her or finding out regarding the status of my case. She always returned my call on the same day ...or the very next day which is why I hired her. She always had updates for me and was very involved in my case. I want to thank her very much for all of her help with my case. She came recommended through a friend whose cousin works at the Montgomery County Police Department. I was aware of her reputation, but having experienced it personally, I can say I was extremely impressed. She was a great negotiator and very creative in settling my case. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case and my record was cleared. I would highly recommend her services.

Don't waste your money

No communication, Erroneous billing, Trying to negotiate a settlement without speaking to me first
