Reviews

I called several offices looking for help after a car accident and thankfully found this firm. Lydia & Ty stepped in and handled everything so that I was able to focus on getting better. Can't recommend them enough.

I truly had an awesome and easy experience. Lydia and Ty were awesome and I helped them navigate me through the entire thing. Lydia was very helpful and helped to guide and communicate clearly with me throughout the process

I highly recommend Farnsworth & Vance to anyone seeking legal counsel. Jeff Vance is a complete and balanced combination of any and everything we want from an attorney. He is very experienced with decades of service, keen on the technicalities of practicing law, highly intelligent, honorable, compassionate, and has a high standard of morals. There are so many more adjectives and positive attributes that describe Jeff, to include his ability to cut to the chase on issues and to always be honest with his clients. His integrity is illustrated by his actions. Working with Jeff's legal assistant, Alex was also a pleasure. She is highly knowledgeable, efficient, very kind and always more than willing to assist when we have questions. She is clearly an exceptional asset to the Farnsworth & Vance team. I was also very impressed by the ambiance of the office. When you walk in, you are welcomed into a professional setting, yet it is warm and inviting, as was every person that I had the pleasure to meet in this office. They felt like family, and I felt cared for and comforted. Thank you for your services at this most difficult time in my life. I truly feel blessed to have found you. If I could give you 10 Stars, I would.

Working with Lydia was great, she is understanding, caring and supportive. Working with her gave me the peace that I needed. If ever in need of legal counsel after a car collision, I will definitely always always call Lydia. Thank you so much!

Five stars does not seem adequate enough to thank Farnsworth & Vance for their caring representation. I was the passenger in a vehicle struck by an under-insured motorist running a red light and was injured to the point of needing surgery. My partner took a taxi from the hospital and mentioned my injuries to the driver who encouraged him to contact Jeff Vance (and sang his praises) – there is nothing like a sincere word-of-mouth recommendation, so he made an appointment with Farnsworth & Vance. Despite being an optimist in most areas of my adult life I was skeptical and a bit skittish, at first. Jeff Vance put me at ease with his understanding and compassionate demeanor. Jeff was also extremely generous with his time. Over the next year he would continue to make me feel like a valued client, and despite the team’s workload of hundreds he would also make me feel like the only client. This is an incredible skill that cannot be overstated. Jeff Vance, Colin Strickland, and Lydia have a proactive and personable approach that I believe is uncommon. They work seamlessly together and are exceptional communicators. They generously answered all my questions and ensured that I not only understood the process (and weight of the decisions) but educated me on the “whys” and “hows” of the Alaska insurance and legal system. We absolutely would not have navigated this process successfully on our own. Jeff's previous experience working in the insurance industry provides a powerhouse of procedural and historical knowledge. I am so grateful he & his team negotiated on my behalf. I cannot praise Jeff Vance’s skillful representation and all the efforts of the Farnsworth & Vance legal team enough. They are genuinely appreciated, and I will be forever grateful. If I ever have need for legal counsel again, Jeff Vance will be my first call! Fair winds never made a skilled sailor – Thank you for piloting us to victory, Jeff!

I would like to thank the Farnsworth and Vance team, and special thanks to Colin Strickland, and Lydia for helping me throughout my tough times. Expect professional, attentive,and caring people working on your side and fighting by your side to do what's right. This was my first time needing help from an attorney and they layout a plan and make it very easy to follow and get the results that best interests you. Would recommend 100 percent!

Really amazing work and got an incredible number for everything that happened. I could barely tolerate the limited interaction that I had with insurance, so having F&V in my corner really relieved me of that stress. Their staff are very communicative and knowledgeable, which is so reassuring in these settlements/court cases. Call these people first if you're ever seriously hurt.

I just finished my accident case evaluation with Ty Farnsworth of Farnsworth and Vance. I would advise anyone seeking an accident injury attorney to call Ty at that this boutique law firm in Anchorage. Alaska’s best kept secret as I experienced Ty’s precision guidance and direction that would allow me to pursue my injury claims. This law firm is above reproach and exudes class and distinction. Make note of this firm for your loved ones as you proceed through life as you never know their accident injury services with be required. Safe travels!

I cannot recommend Farnsworth & Vance highly enough! After a stressful car accident, I turned to them for legal assistance, and I am so grateful that I did. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my case, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my well-being. Lydia did a wonderful job keeping me apprised of any and all updates throughout the process while the team fought tirelessly on my behalf to secure the compensation I deserved, alleviating the financial burden of medical expenses and vehicle repairs. Thanks to Farnsworth & Vance, I was able to focus on my recovery with peace of mind, knowing that my legal matters were in capable hands. If you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney, look no further than Farnsworth & Vance. They are true advocates for their clients and epitomize excellence in legal representation.

Excellent communication, very polite, great professionalism.

Good communication and faster then expected to reach a resolution.

I retained Jeff in early 2023 for a medical malpractice case. I would rate my dealings with F&V at 4.5 stars – communication could have been better at times, but no major complaints. This two-star review (which only deserves one star) is for the broken process and my overall experience as a client. It is for the inept medical “expert” hired by F&V. It is for the $3,000 non-refundable medical records review fee which produced a report of the lowest effort and quality. The medical “expert” hired by F&V is a doctor from Indiana who claims to have four decades of experience and advertises professional expert witness services online. Going into the process, I understood that a medical records review was just that – a third party evaluation of my file without any input from myself or F&V. What I did not understand is that there is no quality control built into the review process and no standards for deliverables. I find the low quality of this review particularly offensive and unacceptable because I have been a technical document reviewer for more than a decade. For a non-refundable $3,000 fee, I received four pages of text in a Microsoft Word file (shorter than the 7-page contract for the “expert’s” services). The file that was provided to me appeared to be a draft as it was fully editable, not locked, not complete, and not finalized. The list of files and documents reviewed by the “expert” was not in chronological order. The doctor from Indiana did not sign the document. No letterhead, either. My name was spelled wrong on the file that was transmitted to me. Even more shocking than the editorial issues was the outrageously poor-quality review itself. Going into this process, I had no doubt that an expert reviewer would notice the discrepancies between my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd surgery reports, the latter two of which included photos. The “expert’s” draft report focused solely on the documented hardware that was supposed to be installed and made no mention of the undocumented and unnecessary hardware - even though photos of both were provided. It is clear that the medical “expert” completely confused the two. This reviewer did not notice that the broken hardware, reported to have been removed during the 2nd surgery, was photographed fully intact during the 3rd surgery. The reviewer focused on the improper installation of the documented hardware rather than questioning where the undocumented and broken hardware (the source of my misery) came from. Multiple statements in my medical file were taken out of context - or fully ignored - such that elements of the draft document are not even accurate. An astute and detail-oriented reviewer would have noticed other inconsistencies. For example, my original surgeon made multiple false statements, such as reporting that I had undergone pre-surgery physical therapy and post-surgery deep tissue massage (I did not do either). This reviewer did not notice – or did not care – that documentation for these therapies was not provided. Jeff agreed with me (in writing) that the "report" is garbage and that he will never use this “expert” again. But for me and my crappy $3,000 draft document? Nothing more can be done. My choices? a) Pony up another $3,000 to $5,000 and hope that F&V has a competent reviewer in their back pocket who can review my file in a rush OR b) withdraw and move on. I opted for the latter. In summary, the lack of attention to detail for an “expert” with an alleged four decades of experience is astounding. I am out $3,000 and do not even have a thoroughly-reviewed, accurate, complete, professional-looking, signed report to show for it. As a last little dash of salt in the wound, (and despite being assured by F&V that we had plenty of time), the “expert’s” draft report was not provided until AFTER the statute of limitations had run out - and a full 80 days after the "expert" received my file. The only way to preserve my claim was for F&V to file suit without the report. For the rest of my life, this withdrawn lawsuit will show up with my name on Court View.
