This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Knowledgeable, courteous professional
In each interaction, Mr. Farish was thorough in his helpful explanation of the law as well as offering counsel to me as his client. His staff answered questions in a timely manner. Family Law is a painstaking process, yet in spite of that, Mr. Farish handled obstacles with poise, directness, and inte...

Christopher Michael Farish's Lawyer Endorsements
"Chris is an experienced litigator and collaborative attorney. Chris is able to balance his client's interests and goals with while obtaining the best possible outcome for his client."
"Christopher is a great attorney. His calm demeanor and keen attention to detail help him stand out amongst other family law attorneys. I highly recommend Christopher."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Chris is one of the most trustworthy, knowledgeable and effective attorneys in the market. Chris is what every Family Law attorney should aspire to be. He is honest, diligent, and extremely client focused. For his clients, he will lay it out straight when the facts or law is not on a client's side (so that you know what your risks are when you make your decisions and understand the road you are about to embark on when all is said and done). That said, Chris is collaborative by nature (which is so helpful in reducing costs and unnecessary attorney fees and costs). Importantly, Chris is not afraid of pulling up his shirt sleeves and being a strong and formidable advocate in the courtroom if litigation is necessary. I recommend Chris without reservation."
