cody farrens

Mr. farrens was hands down the best lawyer I have ever had. he walked me thru every step of the custody process, told me all my options and the possible outcomes. he wasn't just all about the money he was about what was best for us and the best way for us to get there. I would highly recomend him, I... know I'll never use any one else

Great Service - Great Results

I recently lost custody of my kids following trial with another lawyer. I contacted Cody, and he was able to win back custody of my kids. He was also very helpful and great to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

Best in the Business

I needed some legal advice in relation to a tenant I have. After contacting Mr.Farrens I felt reliefed and in control of my situation immediately. I just needed advice for this particular situation but wouldn't hesitate to hire Cody if it would have escalated. Since I've recommended Cody numerous ti...mes.

lease agreement

I hired Thomas to write me a lease agreement for a few properties I own. I had no idea where to begin or how a lease agreement worked. Thomas was easy to work with and was very punctual with his responses. I've hired lawyers before and always felt like I had to wait long for answers. That was not the... case with Thomas. I was referred by my son and couldn't be more happy. Would hire again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
