Mrs. Onyema Anene Farrey is the founder and managing attorney of Anene Farrey & Associates, LLC located in the city of Atlanta. Her skills and expertise lie in the areas of father’s rights, divorce, family law, real estate, and personal injury. Her practice ranges from simple landlord-tenant cases and car accidents to complex custody battles, and high-asset divorces. Onyema has successfully obtained six-figure settlements for her personal injury clients and has tried countless child custody and divorce cases. Due to her astute, legal strategies and keen knowledge of the law, Onyema has not only been successful in obtaining favorable results for her clients, but she is often able to obtain a court judgment that requires the opponent to reimburse her client for the attorney’s fees paid to Anene Farrey & Associates, LLC.
Onyema graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelors degree in Risk Management & Insurance and a Certificate in Leadership. She obtained both her Masters of Business Administration and Juris Doctor degrees from Stetson University in Florida. Onyema is well-known and respected in the legal community as a highly intellectual and fearless litigator. She, unlike most lawyers, will seek to obtain justice for her clients in the courtroom in each and every case. Her passion for trial work predates her career as an attorney as she has competed on several mock trial teams throughout her educational training, including serving as a member on the nationally #1 ranked Stetson trial team. Onyema proudly holds a Florida state title and a national title as Best Advocate for her performances in the courtroom.
Onyema has quickly developed a niche area of her family law practice that focuses on Father’s Rights. The legitimation laws in Georgia require unmarried fathers to file a legitimation lawsuit against the mother in order to have any legal or custodial rights to their own child(ren). Historically, men have been the underdogs in the courtroom. However, it remains Onyema’s passion and goal to level the playing field for men as she aggressively advocates for father’s rights on a daily basis.
Onyema is currently admitted to all of the trial courts in Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, and two of the federal courts of Georgia, including both the Northern and Middle districts.
Onyema is a member of the State Bar of Georgia, the Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys, the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
In her spare time, Onyema enjoys billiards, roller skating, and traveling the world, including to her home country of Nigeria to spend time with family and friends.
