Michael Shawn Farrell

Mr. Farrell handled defending me against my ex when he filed a modification action. He was really great. He wasn't obnoxious in court at all and still managed to make my ex look ridiculous. It was affordable and his assistant was fantastic. An all star team. Hopefully I won't have to go back to ...court again but if I do, it will be with Mr. Farrell.

2009 - 2011 Went to Mike for my divorce/custody without knowing anything about him. I was referred to Mike by my Pastor. One word of advice is don't get a divorce work it out. It's cheaper and emotionally less stressful. If you do, Mike is a great person and Attorney. He was down to earth, easy to ta...lk with and he didn't treat me like he was a superior being like some attorneys do. As it ended up being a long drawn out battle with several hearings I was exhausted mentally and emotionally. Because it was a long drawn out case I got to know Mike well and didn't feel he was just trying to take my money. He really took my case to heart and fought hard and sometimes even viciously during hearings. Mike's assistant Mary was always pleasant and helpful when I would call, numerous times. After several hearings of losing and winning and losing hope we got the results we wanted. My wife and I divorced one day shy of our 14th anniversary May 2011. Remember you're at the mercy of the courts and Judge's schedule, your attorney can't do anything about that. For a 2 1/2 year battle Mike did not take me to the cleaners. His fee could have easily been in the $20k+ range as some others but he was very reasonable with me. OK now here is the kicker ... After all that time wasted fighting, money blown, and emotional craziness.. my wife and I and the kids are back together and remarried 2013. Say what you want but it was an expensive learning experience that I wish I didn't have to have gone through. God had a plan for a hard headed guy like me. So now my Ex/current wife both consider Mike a great person and friend...YES she does too. Once again don't get a divorce unless you're being abused, work it out counselors are cheaper. If you have to get a divorce Mike would be the person I would and have highly recommended. OK if there is one thing I would complain about is that I wouldn't always get a reply back to my emails and phone calls. Remember when you go through a divorce you tend to hang on your attorney's every word. Every little thing that pops in your head you have a question about may not be relevant to the hearing you have coming up. So in his defense he can't respond to every little thing that you think of. I can only say that looking back now and couldn't see that at the time.
