Outstanding Legal Expertise and Support

I’ve worked with Charles before on a minor matter and he was incredible—but this time he absolutely knocked it out of the park. When a loved one got into trouble, I called Charles and he immediately sprang into action. He coordinated with out-of-state attorneys and every key contact involved. It w...as a complicated situation that could have gone in several directions, and to make things harder, it all happened over a federal holiday. Even so, my loved one was out of jail in under 36 hours. I have never experienced better communication from an attorney. Charles answered every call and text—often on the first ring—and kept us informed at every step. I truly hope I never need legal help again, but if I do, he will be the first person I call. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

10/10 !

Mr Farris was an amazing lawyer for my case. He fought hard for me and was always on my side and cared strongly about my case and how I felt. It was a long process but I felt confident and at ease with everything he did. I highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance.

Best Attorney by far

Mr. Farris is hands down the best attorney to go with. His professionalism went above and beyond my expectations. He kept in constant communication with me during my court case and his demeanor made me feel at ease during this very stressful time. He was able to resolve my case with a lesser sentence... that avoided jail time and was able to get my restitution lowered. I am not only happy but grateful for Mr. Farris' delivery of service and excellence.

Alexander Auerbach Review for Charles Farris

My case was a little complicated because I was charged with two DUIs back to back. Charles was in charge for my second one and that one was the one I was most worried about because getting a second one, of course, only worsens the situation. Charles was amazing pretty much, he really did a great job ...representing me and the whole time I was living out of state too. A huge thing you get when you hire Hart Levin as your law firm is you don’t have to go to court, I just had to appear once virtually via Zoom on my sentencing. Overall all I had was a fine and a short online class I had to do, and I couldn’t believe it. Charles must have worked magic in the courtroom! Overall having Charles represent me and hiring Hart Levin was one of the greatest decisions I’ve made. He and the law firm made the experience so much less stressful and the outcome was great. I definitely recommend hiring Hart Levin and especially Charles Farris as your attorney!
