Highly Recommended

During my initial consultation Mr. Fahrney took the time to get familiar with the facts of my case. What impressed me was when he told me he would need to get back to me after doing some research based on all the facts presented. How often will you find an attorney willing to walk away from a retain...er? He got back to me promptly. As soon as he was retained Mr. Fahrney worked diligently on my case. He was responsive to my inquiries, kept me informed, and always took my desired-outcome into consideration. Less than one month later, the case settled. I highly recommended Mr. Fahrney. He is a very honest and compassionate attorney which explains why he very much respected by his peers.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
