Personal Injury

To anyone looking for legal service, you won't find a better law team than Mr Farber and Kelly. They are very caring of your case and treat you like family. I have used them a few times and highly recommend them.

Excellent lawyer

Herb truly had my best interests in mind and was very knowledgeable about the law surrounding my case. He was fair and very upfront about potential outcomes of the case. I believe that he worked tirelessly to get the best settlement.

Personable and Knowledgeable!

Herb and team are excellent! As someone unfamiliar with the legal system, they did a great job walking us through every step so we wouldn't get overwhelmed. Our case was emotional and they never hesitated to answer a question, empathize with the challenges of the process, and at times just listen. Ov...er the years we became close and I hope to stay connect to them even though the case is over. They helped us start a new chapter. He always made the extra effort by driving to our home when we couldn't meet him. Who makes house calls these days? Herb does! Not only did I feel like I was in good hands but I genuinely enjoyed working with them. How many people can say that about their attorney?

Herb Farber is great!

Herb Farber is an excellent attorney, and I recommend him wholeheartedly! My wife and I retained Farber Law Group after I was in a very serious automobile accident. Herb guided us through the legal process masterfully, and we were able to settle for a great deal of money! Herb is an outstanding ...individual, and he has a rare combination of talents: He knows the law inside and out, he has a physician’s medical knowledge, he is exceptionally personable with a great sense of humor, and best of all, he genuinely cared for me as a person and was deeply concerned for my health and well-being as I recovered. Herb’s staff were incredibly thorough and helpful every step of the way, and they were always available. • Litigation Paralegal Kelly Daniels is simply great – smart, buttoned-up and very compassionate. She was always aware of our case’s status, and her follow-up is unparalleled. • Law Clerk Scott Smith was equally savvy, helpful and involved, and he demonstrated sheer wizardry when it came to preparing the presentation for our case. Herb, Kelly & Scott are a great legal team, and over the course of our case they became real friends. If you need a personal injury attorney, I can say without reservation The Farber Law Group is your best choice.

Best Lawyer I ever hire

Herbert Farber was recommended to me through a friend. Hiring Mr Farber for my automobile accident was the best decision I made. Mr Farber took great care in knowing every little detail of the case. I have never seen a lawyer who was more passionate about his work ,who took the extra time and effort ...to make sure everything was in order. His knowledge of the medical and insurance fields was very impressive. I would recommend Mr Farber to all of my family and friends. He is one lawyer who is on top of his game.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I first met Herb Farber twenty years ago when I was doing trial defense work for the insurance companies. He was then a strong, forceful advocate for his client, while at the same time courteous and professional. He still is. Herb was always well prepared, very knowledgable in the law, and always sought to achieve the maximum compensation for every client. Now i work for the rights of the individual, like Herb. For me it's easy to pay the highest compliment about Herb Farber with one simple phrase - "he's a professional, and one of the best at what he does". I'd want him on my side if I were injured.."

Car accident lawyer | Jan 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Herb Farber for a number of years now, primarily through our respective involvement in the Washington State Trial Lawyer's Association/Washington Association for Justice, and particularly our organization's legislative affairs efforts. I also had the opportunity to sit of a case evaluation panel where Herb presented one of his major cases to a panel, and was very impressed with the depth of his case work-up. Herb is a wonderful lawyer, cares about making the judicial and legislative system work for everybody - even the "little guy" - and cares about getting justice for his clients. I can heartily and fully recommend Herb Farber as a top-notch lawyer and person. Brad Fulton WSAJ President-Elect, 2009-2010 Everett, WA"
