No stars

Horrible attorney; took so much money from me and completely blew past the statue of limitations, never lifted a finger on our case. Lazy, sloppy. Do your homework on this one. Search the Georgia Supreme Court website; use “Farnham” in the STYLE field not last name (his attorney shows up there, oddl...y.). He has a HUGE bunch of cases rolled into several complaints. Hope they yank his license soon. He’s bad news.

Excellent Trial Lawyer

My company was sued for the first time in my career. Mr. Farnham represented us throughout the entire process. His performance at trial was superb. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and his professionalism in the court room and the respect he had from the presiding judge. I

Personal Injury Ckaim

I was in a motorcycle accident when the driver of a van crossed right in front of me. I hit the van dead center. I had life support emergency treatment and severe injuries with over 300 k in medical bills. Mr Farnham won me a settlement that paid all my medical bills and put nearly a million... dollars in my pocket. I was very impressed

Farnham still owes me $5,000

David took my case then gave it to another who just took his bar exam. David took $21,000 from me for filing the case, took 2 depositions (the same afternoon), wrote the settlement, which was not worth the paper it was written on. I had to hire another lawyer to undo the damage that David did.. ...I asked him over and over for itemized billing statements. I only received 2 letters saying that I gave him a retainer for $15,000 and the bill was $15,000. Nice round numbers. I sent him my 3 checks that he deposited, for $21,000. He NEVER returned the balance of $5,000. I can prove everything - his two letters admitting that he only gave me $15,000 and my 3 checks cashed by him for $21,000. Do the math!

Replied last November 04, 2013

This matter was thoroughly reviewed by the State Bar of Georgia Fee Arbitration Board by a panel of lay citizens and lawyers and this claim was denied. I have represented thousands of clients in 27 years of practice and tried over 92 jury trials to verdict . What this client did not state in this comment was that I achieved a settlement for her exceeding $200,000.00.

I don't recommend this "Lawyer"

I recommend that you go to the courthouse in Metro Atlanta - Dekalb County, Fulton County, Henry County,.... and pull some of his cases. You will see that my case was withdrawn twice and after he was fired/'quit' he still represented me (without my knowledge) in a mediation. The other lawyers call...ed the mediation in response to my case being dismissed (twice) and they wanted to be compensated for their time. I found out months after it took place by going to the court house and reviewing my own court case.
