Do Not Recommend

I completely agree with the other one star reviewer on this page. He did not explain anything to me. Everything felt rushed and like he did not take the time to understand my situation. Looking back on it, I am extremely angry with how he handled the situation. My ex-husband was physically abusive (f...or which I had documentation from the military) and Peter told me that the courts wouldn't care because it was toward me. My ex-husband lived over four hours away and Peter told me that courts wouldn't find it reasonable for anything less than having to meet my ex-husband twice at that distance every other weekend. My ex consistently broke the agreement and harassed me and I received no help. I trusted his advice and after consulting with other lawyers later on, I realized how truly wrong he was on so many counts; I am so angry that the children and I could be in a much better situation now had he done his job properly and had been my advocate. He absolutely did not have my nor the children's best interests in mind. At a time when I was stressed, worried, vulnerable and looking for someone to put my trust in, he betrayed that trust and years later I am continuing to pay for it. The only thing good I can say is that the office was very responsive.

Does NOT have his clients best interest

Hired Peter to handle a divorce with kids. Absolutely did not have myself or kids best interest. The custody arrangements was a little tricky due to schedules but he never explained everything to me. Also he cut out the majority of the FL parenting plan without explaining to me all options and ramifi...cations. Left me with little child support and no help with childcare financial help and the father with only 1 day a week. I ended up having to hire a new attorney to help out with a new situation who told me after reading my divorce that she would've have me sign that I was going against her advice if I had signed that agreement with her. Worst attorney ever and would never recommend him to anyone.

Custody Family Law

We were so blessed to have Peter Farren as our lawyer. He is compassionate, knowledgeable lawyer who truly had the children's welfare at heart. Our case was a difficult one but it didn't seem to stress him in any way. He has a second sense about people.

A honest & knowledgeable attorney who advocates for his clients!

Peter Farren is an incredible attorney who handled my custody case with efficiency, strength, and an honest approach. After an unsuccessful experience with a previous attorney who started my case, I was hesitant and nervous in finding someone new. Multiple people in he area referred me to him, and n...ot only did he pick up where my previous attorney left off, but he was always prompt in handing matters, able to get in touch with, and displayed confidence and a vast knowledge in the process. We were successful in a resolution and I genuinely felt like Mr.Farren cared about my son and I as clients. Kudos to not only him, but also his staff, who were always on top of things and very courteous! I would highly recommend Mr. Farren for your legal needs! Kathryn
