Mr. Farber provides insightful, helpful and accurate advice. His knowledge and experience are clearly evident. I endorse this lawyer.

I endorse Mr. Farber. Mr. Farber is very knowledgeable in this area of the law and he is dedicated to providing his clients with the best possible representation.
John Greaney, Personal injury Attorney on Jan 26, 2009
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..

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

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had the honor to work with Herb Farber as co-counsel on a number of cases over the years. Herb is an outstanding attorney who is highly respected by his peers. He is dedicated to helping his clients and achieving the best results for them. If If I or a member of my family had a personal injury claim, I would not hesitate to retain Herb as our attorney.
