Response to Motion

On behalf of my brother and myself, Thank you Mr Farrar. You took the time to listen to the situation and submitted a quick response to a motion that the judge found in my brother's favor. We are both very grateful. I highly recommend this Christian man.

Excellent, compassionate attorney

Mr. Farrar has represented us throughout the years through a very complex family law case. He is always available, and responds quickly. He is not out to drag a case on just to obtain more money. He is resolution driven and always thinks about the best interests of his clients. If you are looking for... a trust-worthy, compassionate, honest lawyer, then he is your guy. His office staff is great as well.

Integrity

I've known Mr. Farrar for over five years and have found him to be of high moral values and good legal advice. I seek his council often and have not been disappointed in doing so for personal and for my business. I will continue using his firm in the future.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1999.

Admonishment issued in FL, 1999

updated on 12/22/2016

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Gregory’s comment:

“This discipline was not related to the practice of law, but was due to a billing error that occurred by a paralegal in our firm, over (15 years ago). The paralegal in question was dismissed immediately. This is the lowest form of reprimand an attorney can receive. There is a saying in the legal profession,"It is not will you receive a bar complaint, it is when will you receive the complaint." Mr. Farrar has received numerous accomplishments and awards during his practice of law.”
