I retained Mr. Farkas to handle an uncomfortable and painful dispute I had with my sister. The matter is now resolved, and somehow my sister and I are actually speaking again. Mr. Farkas handled the whole thing with such finesse and thoughtfulness. Worked out far better than I imagined it could.

Mr. Farkas has successfully mastered the legal system to the benefit of his clients. His track record speaks for itself. Discerning, energetic and focused, Mr. Farkas has the talent and mental acumen to analyze the core of a situation and work through legal options expeditiously. He offers his clients a functional balance between understanding the law, having compassion for their needs, and ensuring justice is served. Very pleased with our results and recommend him highly for business, family, and civil rights legal concerns.

A wonderful attorney and just a beautiful man. When I came to Joel, I had already retained another attorney, but my friend told me that I needed to meet with Joel and she'd be shocked if I didn't decide that I preferred him. Well, she was right. I got my retainer refunded, and I retained Joel. His office is like an oasis. It's a shock of culture and care that is entirely unexpected from a lawyer. Above all, though, Joel stands apart for his brilliance and his amazing ability to make the extremely complex simple. He's also a fantastic cook, if you happen to be lucky enough to have an appointment with him on a day he's prepared lunch for his office staff.

Mr. Farkas helped myself and my family through several cases. He was helpful throughout these cases which were very tough and draining on my family. He showed interest in my cases and responded when called or e-mailed. We never felt in the dark. We have since prevailed in all cases and have been able to move on with our lives in a better way.

I had a very twisted dispute with an ex-business partner. He was irrational and vindictive [no surprise there -- that was largely why I split from him in the first place]. Mr. Farkas was an absolute god-send. He knew how to calm my nerves and, ultimately, he knew exactly how to deal with my ex-partner. I was resigned to taking a big financial hit, but I came out of this almost entirely unscathed.
