HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Especially In a Complicated Divorce with Children Involved

Mark works hard for you and delivers exactly what he says he can. Does not paint a rosy picture about the divorce process and what he can get you, but tells you the bitter truths so that a client is well informed. In my case he was supportive and diligent and made a three year long horrid divorce cul...minate with the results I desired. Thanks to him I have custody of my son and financial security. He is very dependable as he is knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone without batting an eyelid. For someone like me in a downhill arranged marriage and who picked up the phone in a very stressful state without legal know how of the divorce process in America, he proved to truly be a blessing in disguise.

I would highly recommend this lawyer

Mark Farrow provided expert direction during the course of my divorce, which followed more than 25 years of marriage. My children were of legal age so custody and related issues were not addressed. There were, however, layers and layers of financial data which needed clarification and Mark competen...tly addressed and interpreted the financial information in order to achieve the best possible result for me, his client. He was a professional who was also cordial. He was competent and communicative and I appreciate both the skill he displayed and the knowlege he shared during this process. I know now why he was recommended by a friend and I would make the same recommendation to others.

Great Lawyer

I had a very good experience with Mark. I relied on him quite a bit over the course of a messy 5 year divorce. Always the organized professional, he returned my calls promptly. Most importantly, he was caring and considerate. At the most stressful time in my life, I felt I had a friend in my cor...ner. I will be forever grateful.

I have worked with Mark Farrow for 15 years, two divorces and two prenups

I have known Mark for over 15 years and have recommended him to several friends for family legal needs. Everyone has been highly satisfied with his work. When he changed law firms, I followed him even though he wasn't the lead lawyer on my first divorce. He is the voice of reason when emotions run... high and he knows divorce law thoroughly. He is a valuable community member and practices a diificult area of law with commom sense and compassion. When child support issues arose, my ex-husband felt comfortable with retaining Mark versus hiring two lawyers. Recently, Mark represented me in a complex prenup aggreement. He was astute in knowing when we needed to get outside counsel and very professional in handling this delicate matter. Over the years, I have consulted him on several matters from traffic violations to real estate matters and he has always made great referrals. I cannot say enough about the trust I have in MarK as an individual and as a lawyer.

I would highly recommend this Lawyer

Mark is a very professional and compassionate lawyer, who took the time to understand my unique issues and represent me in a fair yet assertive manner during my difficult divorce. I encountered multiple complexities as a working female (custody issues, restraining orders, temporary support requests)... during my divorce proceedings, and each time when present with these challenges I clearly understood all the options. Mark always made recommendations, but at the end of the day he understood my direction. I was very satisfied with his counsel during this difficult time.
