Posted by Jason G. | March 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Rock Solid Representation

After years of frustration with my ex not letting me see my kids on any regular basis, I hired Ms. Farrar to help me with my custody case. Ms. Farrar is a kind and straightforward advocate who handled my case quickly and professionally. I believe she was always open to settlement but prepared when ...it came time for court. Having her by my side was the best decision I've made and if I ever need an attorney again, she will be the first one that I call.

New Level of Lazy

Ill prepared, showed up to trial with no witness preparation, disorganized and could not resolve my case. I had to go elsewhere for my legal needs -but not before spending a bunch of money on Ms. Farrar. Not recommending her for your legal needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
