This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Simply awesome

She represented me for a couple of matters in the 3rd Circuit Court. She was incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and most importantly I had a very favorable result.

Knowledgeable, Informative, and Reliable

Finding an attorney when you are in a vulnerable situation is very difficult. We were very fortunate to be referred to Ms. Farkas when my family was overwhelmed with the legal charges due to poor choices. I only wish legal problems were black and white, guilty or not guilty However, they are... not, an experienced attorney can help sort out this system, ensuring justice for the client. Ms. Farkas accomplished this, however, her expertise extended further. With our legal involvement mental health issues played a role in the charges. Ms. Farkas, demonstrated vast knowledge of the law, and her communication style promoting understanding of the charges, the law and ramifications of the judicial system. Theses charges were resolved with consequences yet allowing a more positive outcome for the future. She is quick to respond to any telephone calls made, and sought out information whenever asked. Ms. Farkas was our best asset in dealing with this situation.
