On Point!

Our community has had the pleasure of working with David Farber on a very difficult flash flood insurance claim. Although the insurance company denied and underpaid our claim on 10 out of 12 of our buildings, David successfully got the claim settled for hundreds of thousands of dollars more than wha...t the insurance company initially paid. David worked diligently on our behalf and went above our expectations getting us the best outcome and results. David Farber and his team are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, honest and trustworthy. Throughout the entire process, they were all very easy to communicate with, always professional and truly a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend David and his firm to anyone seeking legal representation.

A successful resolution

Our experience with Mr. Farber’s Law Firm was a positive one. He scheduled conference calls with us to explain a case about a home insurance claim and he personally advised us of the status of the case every step of the way. His executive assistant, Jennie, is also extremely professional and kind. ... We had a successful outcome. Thus, we recommend him highly and without reservation.

Great Team with the Best Outcome

I am thankful for The Faber Law Firm. David, Sebastian, and their staff were amazing throughout my parents' case. Though our case seemed to drag a little longer than expected, especially because of Covid, David was able to get us to the finish line with the best possible outcome.

Great Attorney and staff

I highly recommend The Farber Law Firm. David and his staff were very professional and courteous in handling the case against our homeowners insurance company. David negotiated with the insurance company and got us much more than the insurance company originally offered. David kept us updated and qu...ickly addressed our questions and concerns.

Thank you!

I cannot recommend David and the Farber Law Firm enough for anyone in need of an attorney. From the very beginning, David was professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. The Farber Team took the time to listen to my story and understand my situation, and then worked tirelessly to ensure... that I received the compensation that I deserved. Throughout the entire process, David kept me informed and involved, answering all of my questions and providing me with regular updates. David was always available to talk, and I never felt like I was left in the dark. It was clear that David and the team genuinely cared about me and my case, and they went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. In the end, David was able to secure a settlement that far exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for his hard work and dedication. If you are in need of an attorney, I highly recommend The Farber Law Firm. They are truly the best in the business and will fight tirelessly to get you the justice that you deserve.

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.
