BEST OF THE BEST!

Dan’s exceptional expertise in both civil litigation and criminal law is truly commendable. His deep knowledge and understanding of the legal intricacies were evident, providing me with invaluable guidance and support. What sets Dan apart is his extensive network and connections throughout both th...e state and country. His strong professional relationships enables him to navigate complex legal matters with ease and efficiency. I was impressed by his ability to tap into these connections, which undoubtedly will contribute to the positive outcome of any case. I highly recommend Dan to anyone seeking legal representation. His unwavering dedication, combined with his vast knowledge and extensive connections, make him an invaluable asset in any legal situation. I will continue to refer my friends, family, and even strangers to Mr. Farnsworth. He truly is remarkable in every way.

A True Winner

I had an unfortunate personal situation that warranted hiring an attorney for assistance. Mr. Farnsworth was available to me with a commitment and a fierce spirit to handle my case and literally "fight" for me when I needed him. He believes in the power of the justice system and he is willing to ...work diligently for a resolution in favor of his client. He is intelligent, charismatic and very knowledgeable. I will not hesitate to call upon him again, if I ever find myself in a similar situation. Call him.

My 2 cents worth regarding Dan Farnsworth

Although this review is for Daniel Farnsworth Jr, I believe a little background on me is important to provide a better understanding of this review of Dan. First of all I am not a litigious person; however in this day and time in our society it is almost inevitable that at some point one will require... legal assistance, counsel and at times representation. I am very selective and even very picky you might say when it comes making even minor decisions. I am a person who thinks through things with both my mind and spirit and will take others opinions and experiences into account when making a decision. After being involved in an automobile collision and the at-fault drivers insurance company being very uncooperative to the point of insulting, I was left with no other choice but to seek legal representation. I spoke with several attorneys in the Greenville, SC area about my case because it was important to me to find an attorney I could have confidence in, trust and respect. Dan by far was the obvious best choice for me, my family and my case. In synopsis the following is my opinion, experience, and review of Dan Farnsworth: • He and his staff always treated me with respect and dignity. • Unlike others I know, Dan is not one to give lip service about a situation. He has always been straightforward about the law, the legal environment, my case and his recommended best course of action. • Both Dan and his staff were attentive and responsive in a timely manner to my questions and concerns as well as to the facts of my case. • Dan carries a very strong presence during official proceedings and I have little doubt this attribute helped bring about a positive influence on the outcome of my case. • In my opinion his negotiating skills are well above average and have obviously been honed by years of real world experience and success. • Dan and I share mutual beliefs of “what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong”. I discovered that he was not only willing to fight to uphold that belief but the he also has both the capability and experience to do so. • I found his knowledge of law to be exceptional, not only the letter and spirit but also what to expect in the real world of today’s judiciary system. • I consider Dan to be a highly skilled strategic thinker. • His actions throughout the entire process of resolving my case demonstrated that he truly put me and my family's best interest first. I have worked with various attorneys over the years and by far Dan is one of the best I have encountered. He has demonstrated not only through his words but also his actions that he possesses a large degree of common sense - which is not so common these days. His expert knowledge of the law and our legal system combined with a winning attitude and personality in my opinion makes Dan Farnsworth an extraordinarily great attorney at law.

Well connected and detailed oriented lawyer

Dan is a very knowledgeable lawyer in the DUI branch (my case), he has experience representing in multiple states and has a very nice approach to understand your case. Its nice that he offers a free consultation and that he prefers to do it in person to get to know you and your case in a personal lev...el. He's cautious and approaches each case with an individual strategy and not with a cookie cutter way which makes him as successful as he is in his cases. My personal case didn't look good from the very beginning, but he was very detailed oriented and he asked me to go to his office to analyze videos together to find the minimal indication that something was conducted different than procedure. He was able to pin point several things right off the bat, that in the end helped my case and made the prosecutor dropped the charges. Last but not least, he is well known within the Greenville county which is something that helps, On top of that, he is very good and quick on his feet when the unexpected happens, like in my case, the judge was replaced and he had to change his strategy on the spot. I gave him a 4 star on the "kept me informed category" just because I received updates every 3 or 4 months, but my case was 2 years long. Its important to point out that whenever I asked his office a question they would answer within the day and he was always available on his cell phone via text or call. I've recommended him in the past to other people and would like to do so through this website.
