Highly Recommend

From my past experience with Matthew I found him to be very passionate about his clients and strives to go above and beyond what is expected of him. He is very skilled in the art of negations and well versed in the Law. His moral standards and integrity made me feel 100% comfortable trusting him with... my personal and business affairs.

Mr. Farr was very helpful during the time he worked with me. He was knowledgeable and straightforward regarding what he could do to help and walked me through every step of the way.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
