rear-ended and saved

In August 2011, I was driving home merging onto the 110 S/B FWY, when I was rear-ended. Immediately, I felt pain to my lower back and neck. Initially I thought I would be okay, but as time went by I wasn’t feeling any better and my doctors were not giving me a good prognosis, I had really injured m...y back. I had heard great things about Farar Law, so I decided to give them a call. I spoke to Joel Farar and I was immediately comfortable with him. I hired him and his staff to help me with my case. I was able to take the time I needed to nurse my injuries and at the end of the day, I was able to obtain a great compensation. Thank you Farar Law.

Saved Me

Last year in September 2012, I had an accident that almost cost me my life. At first I was not going to pursue a case because, I was thinking how could I afford an attorney being a college student? But Farar Law changed all of that.. The attorney and his team made me feel like I was in good hands. Th...e staff is friendly and makes you feel welcomed with open arms. I like how Farar laid everything out for my understanding of how the case would be handled. I received a phone call from their legal assistant Elsy that the insurance company of the defendant settled in my favor. I was happy when my case was finally settled. My family and friends were glad that everything worked out, and when I told them more about how Farar law helped aid in my assistance, they were even more impressed. I tell anyone that I know who needs a great attorney to hit up Farar Law. I love Farar!

They helped me

“I was involved in an auto accident approx. a year and a half ago. I was unsure of how to proceed, but I knew that I was hurt and needed medical assistance as well as legal assistance. I looked online and found an attorney that I thought may be able to help me. I was mistaken. The attorney that I... hired not only was unfit to handle my case but didn’t even know who I was. I searched the web again, looking for someone else to help me, that’s when I found Farar Law. I was apprehensive at first, due to my previous find – but I quickly realized that Farar Law had my best interest in mind. The staff at Farar Law was always friendly and I was able to reach the attorney, if I so desired. I knew what was going on with my case from the very first moment. Although the insurance company was being difficult and unwilling to pay for my injuries, Farar Law fought hard for me and I was able to obtain a good compensation thanks to Joel Farar and his team. Don’t believe everything you see online, take it from me – but do trust in Farar Law. They helped me!”
