Victims Made Whole

My daughter and I, were victims of a drunk driver. He went off the freeway and landed on my vehicle. My back window was shattered and my baby was in the backseat. Luckily we were okay. Sore and bruised, but somehow okay. The drunk driver’s insurance was unwilling to accept fault for the accident ...because he was in jail and they were unable to reach him to get his version of facts. I was hurt and needed help right away. I looked online and found Farar Law. I spoke to Elsy and then to the attorney Joel Farar, they made me feel comfortable so I hired them to help me with my case. Farar Law was able get Mercury insurance to accept fault for the accident. I was given time to heal from my injuries, then Farar Law was able to get the insurance to pay for the loss of my vehicle as well as the damaged car seat and received a fair compensation for my injuries. I would highly recommend Farar Law to anyone involved in an accident.

His goal is always to do what's best for his client, even if that means less for him. People don't always have a high opinion of PI lawyers, however, Joel is a PI lawyer that people can count on to do the very best for their case. He combines compassion and hard work and integrity."
