ACQUITTED of all charges!

I was VERY pleased with Kelly Farrish's services. I ended up getting charged with a marked lanes violation, 2nd offense DUI, refusal, and two misdemeanor gun charges (I have my CCW's). I had a consult with Farrish and he explained to me the process involved in what my case may entail. I believe in... being responsible for actions, but in this case, I know I didn't refuse the test, but was nervous for the simple fact, I've progressed in my career and how this could affect me. He took the time to review discovery and as much as I wanted this to be over fairly quickly (was offered a plea deal), Farrish's advise led me to continue to fight. He seems to know if there's a chance or not, and I recommend to follow his advice. My case lasted several months, but he kept at reviewing the evidence, and pointing out issues with my case to the prosecution. We ended up having to go all the way to a motion to suppress trial in which the judge denied it and it ended up going to a bench trial. In which, the judge ended up acquitting me of all charges, except the traffic violation. This was a long process and I wanted it to be over quickly and thought I should just take the plea deal just to be done. I know that sounds bad, but trying to work and get off of work, was getting stressful. Farrish's advise and expertise led me to understanding the importance of patience as well as you get what you pay for. I truly believe he is genuine in whether a case should end at a plea deal or if it's worth going to the next step. I'm glad I decided to go the next step because it ended up turning in my favor fully. He's knows this field very well, and I will be forever grateful for the hard work, dedication and time he put into fighting my case.

Was thrown under the bus

He was hired by me by a recommendation of a fellow attorney. Im a single women that owns a home and works full time. Ive have had difficulties and struggles in my life, but hired a attorney to represent me. And im talking over 5,000$ in attorney fees. Yes it was bad i new but it. But Mr. FARRISH... never defended me he said heres your best outcome, sign a agreement to a felony charge and go to a DUI prison for a year. Ok. Went to his office before going in front of judge which was all confirmed before hand. So i went to Kellys office to see what to expect etc. He wasnt sure called the prison and then we both found out it was a mens facility...im a female, he laughed and said to me in my shock "Its not my first time at the rodeo ". Ill never forget those words. He was fired after being paid in full, and hired a new attorney to represent me. He ruined part of my life, which ill never can remove that charge from my record. Today, i still own a home pay taxes and work 2 jobs. And by the way he smelled of alcohol everytime i meet him in the court house. He should be debarred...

I wouldn’t recommend Kelly at all

He recommends a bunch of useless expert reports that are of no benefit to your case and are only meant to get more money out of you.
