This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney, excellent results

James Farinaro was a pleasure to work with from the start. In our initial consultation, he very patiently walked me through the possibilities for my case and gave me a frank assessment. I had consulted on the case with other attorneys, but none were as forthcoming or helpful. James has a calming d...emeanor, which is really helpful when you're facing the stresses of a legal case. I ended up hiring him because he seemed reasonable, reassuring, and highly competent. Because I was nearing the statute of limitations at the start, he advised me to file a suit right away, which we did. That no doubt helped. The case took almost exactly as long as he predicted, about a year, and the outcome, just recently, was a settlement that came in above the high end of the range he had initially estimated, which is great. It's a huge relief to have it done, and I'm glad that I chose James.

  • 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.
