Very Satisfied

The law offices of James Scott Farrin were very helpful to me and my family when I was injured on the job. They took care of helping me get all the services and care I needed. They also helped me apply for and get my Social Security Disability Benefits. I would recommend them to anyone who has been i...njured on the job or anyone who needs assistance getting Social Security.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2002.

Reprimand issued in NC, 2002

updated on 02/04/2010

Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

James’s comment:

“The reprimand was for a minor advertising violation, and does not reflect or involve misconduct within the practice of law in representing clients. For further information on this reprimand: http://www.ncbar.gov/orders/volume%205/06050345.pdf”
