Col Thomas D. Farell is the brightest litigation lawyer I have ever encounter from Around the Globe . Mr Farell is a gentlemen , a scholar and one the best attorneys you will Wish to Have on your side . He is straightforward, tell you how it is and he is 99.9% correct . He has extensive knowledge of the law and he has integrity . He represented me In one of the bizarre, complicated cases In the state of hawaii against a legion of lawyers and at the end after a brutal 48 months he triumphs . Hire him I put my money on it

Tom took on my case of coercive control. We settled a TRO, a cross TRO and a Paternity in 2 hearings. The father of my child is a police officer and really knew every card to play the system. Tom got me my child, child support, back support, and has held my hand through CPS interrogations, and every negative card my baby’s dad threw at me. He sees right through him. This process wasn’t easy for me, and I’m very young, and of course I made many bad choices and mistakes, but tom handled them all. Like I said, he stayed by my side through a CPS interrogation that was extremely biased. I will forever be grateful to this man for standing up for me in ways nobody else has ever stood up for me. My reputation and credibility was being slaughtered very quickly. Tom handled it. Period. End.

I hired Mr Farrell help me with a security clearance issue. I believe he is the only attorney in Hawaii who deals with these issues. He was the consummate professional and he helped me provide a thorough response. Most importantly, I won my case.

My x husband hired a Tom Farrell. He literally wiped the floor with me. Came to mainland and have full custody of my kids. I can say if your looking for results and you can afford retainers as they get used up fast then I would hire this guy.

Tom Farrell helped me take the emotion out of my case and helped me make the right decision regarding my custody case. He is straightforward, honest and balanced. I would highly recommend him if you need a great custody lawyer. I am glad I did.

Mia was very friendly and approachable and I felt very at ease. She was professional and very attentive to my concerns and gave me great guidance.

Mia definitely knows her way around the Honolulu Liquor Commission. If you own a restaurant or a bar, please call her to handle all of your liquor matters. She was a former Liquor Commission attorney and knows how to get your license done and done right! She was very responsive to all of my calls and emails and provided excellent guidance throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!!!!

I can’t say enough about Mr. Farrell!! If you’re looking for someone to tell you it’s going to be ok, and hold your hand through the process, Tom is not for you! If you’re looking for someone to roll up their sleeves, get the job done, and dominate in the courtroom? Tom Farrell is my first choice... All business! Mr. Farrell is no stranger to family law. The first time he speaks, you know you’re in good hands! Worth EVERY penny!!

I reached out to Thomas Farrell's and requested a consultation. Sadly they were not taking any new clients but he highly recommended another Firm and was able to obtain the other. I like that if they can not help they will point you to another attorney.

Do not waste your time or money. Don’t even consider Thomas Farrell at all. I requested a consultation for post-decree issues and custody help after experiencing a very traumatizing divorce battle. Thomas called me for a consultation and asked very brief, vague questions about my case. He continuously cut me off without letting me explain how certain events occurred and proceeded to tell me that I have a “crappy case” that isn’t worth his time or my money. Don’t be a family lawyer if you’re not capable of considering the feelings of a potential client, especially a parent fighting for their child after experiencing abuse and trauma by the other party.

Let me start off by saying that Tom Farrell saved my family and completely changed the momentum and dynamic of the many post decree issues I was experiencing in a very nasty and contentious divorce. Words cannot express how much I appreciate what he did for my family and I will always be grateful for having such a strong advocate in my corner. Prior to being referred to Tom by several high profile attorneys I was beat down and ready to give up. My previous counsel were ill equipped and frankly no match for the monster that my ex hired to represent her. My ex, her family and her unethical attorney were hell bent on destroying my career, my character and ruining me financially with the intent of gaining full custody of my children and driving me from Hawaii. Some of the tactics they employed included filing false Police reports, attempting to recuse the presiding judge over meritless false pretenses, making false allegations against me with my employer and against my loved ones and printing falsehoods in the Garden Isle newspaper when they didn't get what they wanted. All of this conduct stopped shortly after Tom became involved. Tom is proactive and won't let that type of stuff fly. He will be your advocate and protect you and your family and won't allow the opposing side bully you. As one well respected attorney put it Tom is a “pitbull, extremely knowledgable and has the highest integrity of any attorney I know ..which makes him dangerous”. Boy was that an understatement. Almost immediately after Tom become involved in my case my exes nightmare attorney inexplicably quit. Tom's expert knowledge of family law, child welfare services and the intricate processes involved with contested child custody matters, TRO's and his extensive criminal trial experience protected my loved ones and I from my exes heinous attacks. Tom then straightened out my CSEA nightmare, and other miscellaneous post decree issues and eventually the family court found in our favor and determined that my ex violated our decree and penalized her with sanctions. Tom was strategic in planning his approach, matter of fact, and never left anything to chance. He kept me informed throughout every step and also gave me solid advice whether I wanted to hear it or not. Ultimately Tom assessed the situation would make a recommendation and then allow me as his client to make the decision after having a full understanding of the risk/reward involved. My hope is that eventually my ex and I will be able to come to an agreement that mutually benefits everyone involved but if not Tom will be ready to go to trial and win. That's what he does.

Farrell and Associates conducted a straightforward operation for me. Tom planned out and then synchronized each step as promised. He was honest in his billing. His Paralegal Assistant Tammy was spot on throughout. I can't say enough about my experience.
