Michael Shawn Farrell

When I initially hired him, I thought he would be a great fit.... I was so wrong! After I filed for child support, my ex hired an attorney and filed emergency motion to get my kids for Christmas time. I went to pick my kids up and he said I couldn't have them and said I'd get them back on Christma...s..... Christmas of 2015 and it is now August of 2017 and the only thing Farrell did for me (and he really didn't, department of revenue did) was get me temporary child support in Feb 2017 during this long process. Funny thing is, I asked him if temporary support was possible because my ex hadn't paid a dime for 6 years at this point or help at all. He told me no. Then a little over a year later, the department of revenue makes it happen. In the nearly 2 years and literally 2 court dates, I paid $3k for nothing at all. DEP OF REV handled what I hired him for. He wanted me to pay more money for " such a difficult case ". He didn't do much at all. Not even answer the phone or return my calls. After him wanting more money and absolutely nothing being resolved, just more problems, he filed to drop me. I can't tell you how many times I called him or emailed him but he never responded and that is how I always make my payments. So at this point, he refused payments and when I asked for rescheduling the date, he ignored more emails and calls and I got dropped like a bad habit. Thanks Mike Farrell for absolutely nothing costing me $3k I did not have to waste.

Hired lawyer for my divorce and child support issues. Called and left messages constantly, never received return calls. Never kept in contact about the status of my case. Had to do all of the work myself for what I hired him to do. At final court hearing he would not argue anything in my defense. On ...the few occasions I was able to contact him he told me that my case was nothing to worry about and that he was confident I would come out on top, I ended up with ex wife's lawyer fees, alimony (on a less than 4 year marriage) and a ridiculous amount of child support payments. Horrible lawyer! Would have been better off representing myself.
