Regret Retaining

I have been trying to file a review of this attorney, which this site will not accept. I retained John Farrell to represent our partnership. He warned us not to contact the county regarding raising the value of our property, so we remained ignorant that the supervisor of planning wanted to expedite... plan amendments and rezoning to allow urbanization. When I asked Farrell to contact a tenant about repairs required by the lease, Farrell sent the lease contact to a building inspector instructing him to give a legal opinion, which of course, he declined. This meant the partnership was unable to serve notice, costing us one million dollars. Farrell did not communicate for two weeks during which time a new lease contract was languishing. I had to hire another attorney for his opinion regarding whether I should sign contracts releasing the tenant, that Farrell insisted I execute. The other attorney advised me not to. All of the communication proving this is on the record in the docket for this case.

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.
