Mark R. Farrow

Mark handled our divorce quickly and efficiently while maintaining a compassionate approach throughout the process. His counsel on all matters was very much appreciated and all questions and concerns were addressed in a straightforward and professional manner. I would recommend Mark without hesitat...ion to anyone contemplating Divorce.

I hired Mark to help me terminate maintenance as my ex had a live boyfriend. We were thrown a few curves along the way, but Mark was successful in getting her to present us with a proposal. Mark made a few modifications to her proposal and a deal was struck. As a result I have now cut off all contact... with her and sleep peacefully at night. From what I was able to observe, Mark knows the law; he has the respect of other attorneys and the judge; and he takes a practical approach to getting the case settled. The best compliment I can give Mark is that soon my ex will be referring her friends to him.

It's hard to know where to begin, when someone has done so much for you. Initially, I thought my divorce would be fairly quick and straightforward. That quickly devolved into a complete circus, complicated by custody and financial complexities. Mark did not skip a beat. He was level-headed in... the most tense of situations (when even opposing counsel was expressing frustration). He is driven by unquestionable understanding of legal theory, expert knowledge of the case law, strategic acumen and breadth of experience (right down to insights on specific judges). Now matter how much the opposing side tried to distract the process with unsubstantiated claims and non-relevant information, Mark kept everything in perspective, bringing my worry level down and focusing on the facts, the law and the potential outcomes. He simplified when I needed clarification and indulged when I wanted greater understanding of the statutes, the case law or even his personal experience. When my ex-wife was racking up fees, engaging her counsel for every small thing, Mark handled it all as if he was simply eating his lunch. He did not waste time and resources chasing irrelevant minutiae. He communicated and provided direction when needed, and I did the same. It was one of the best professional relationships I have experienced in any context. Steve Jobs once said "I don't hire smart people to tell them what to do. I hire them so they can tell ME what to do." If Jobs had ever met Mark, he would still be enshrined in a glass office at Apple headquarters. Divorce sucks. It doesn't matter what the situation is, everybody loses. If you're looking for someone who will guide you through a complicated process toward the best outcome possible for you, Mark is your guy.

I've received consultations from Mark over the last 8 years. My only regret is that I hadn't met him 8 years earlier! Mark has always been a straight shooter - given me every option available, given me sound advice and steered me away from making poor decisions in which direction to take my case. R...ecently Mark gave me the best news I've heard in 16 years, related to my case! I'm very appreciative for all of the honest advice and guidance Mark has given me. If I had to go through this all again, I'd have Mark by my side.

Mark provides comprehensive legal representation throughout the entire process. As a physician with little knowledge of the divorce process, Mark took his time educating me and preparing me in what was my first exposure to the legal system. My case involved 4 young children, serious medical illness..., multiple marital properties going into foreclosure, and a corporate partnership to protect. Mark's advice helped me to avoid needlessly prolonging the case, ultimately saving me time and money so I could move on with life. I have recommended Mark to other physician partners who agree that he is one of the sharpest lawyers in his specialty. He has the uncanny ability to anticipate what's needed at trial or what to present before the judge to optimize our position. He has certainly guided me through a complicated and difficult time.
