Posted by David | June 20, 2014 | Child Custody

He delivered results in a seemingly impossible situation.

Richard Farnsworth is the sole reason I have my kids back in my life. There are certain keywords a mother can utter in regards to a father in a separation that will make the legal system act in a manner that is "protective" to the child but only if the father is totally dismissed as the stereotypi...cal caricature. Richard was able to first expose the false accusations for what they were and get them dismissed. he worked in the best interest of my children and was able to get a fair custody split that ensures the children know the love of both parents and allows them to prosper as individuals instead of trophies in a financial dispute.

Posted by Helga | January 24, 2014 | Uncontested Divorce

EXCELLENT JOB FOR A REASONABLE PRICE

The judge at the court told me: "You have a very good attorney", and I absolutely agree with her. Mr. Farnsworth has a lot of experience and knowledge and I would absolutely recommend him . He changed a contested divorce which seemed to be endless and never settled to an uncontested case within ...a short time and that for a reasonable prize. He kept me informed all the time and explained every detail of the process.

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.
