The Worst Decision

I personally retained Joseph Farzam & I had the worst experiences. He is utterly unprofessional, dishonest, rude, and impossible to deal with. I had the exact same problems that so many other former clients have had with him. He is currently under investigation with the BAR for financial fraud, case ...neglect & other offenses punishable by the BAR. I had & have an excellent injury case. His office called me for 2 weeks & begged to take my case. I finally retained him. However, in over 6 or so months, his office has neglected my case until I had to call another firm to take the case. Do not hire this attorney in any capacity. His office & staff will ruin your case, no matter how good said case is. When I called his office, Farzam himself answered the phone but pretended to be an "assistant" & hung up on me. Ridiculous. Nothing but dishonesty, lies, misdirection, time wasting, and other damages. On Monday I'm filing with the BAR, myself.

The best injury lawyer in the whole wide world for accidents!!!!

When I needed an injury lawyer for my accident I talked with many attorneys. I was really worried because many of them were making promises just to get me to hire them. then I met mr. farzam who was really honest and told me the truth even if I didn't want to hear it. He explained everything to me... so thoroughly. he and his staff are friendly and always on top of it. thanks for the hard work and settlement.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Farzam is a very nice and knowledgeable attorney. I was very happy with the outcome of my case. His staff is pleasant and were always willing to help me and give me status on my case. I would defenetely recommend Mr. Farzam to my family and friends.
