Showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck
“James Farmer and his team exceeded all expectations! I had a very serious criminal case and his firm was recommended to me by a family member. I was incarcerated during this time and he and his associate Stephanie came to update me on multiple occasions on the progress of my case. They were not only professional but the amount of time and energy they put into my case showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck! They prepared for trial, but in the end was able to work out a plea deal that did not include any jail time. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Farmer and his team for any criminal case!”

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer stands up for you in car accident cases where you were not at fault. You may be unfairly left with injuries, medical bills, vehicle expenses, pain and suffering, or other effects. He or she can help you with:
Offering legal advice - There is a lot of mixed information out there; a lawyer can make the best course of action clearer.
Understanding your rights - Laws vary by state, and there are a lot of fine details.
Negotiating a fair settlement - People who represent themselves in court on average receive smaller settlements than those with legal representation. -
What Do Criminal Defense Lawyers Do?Criminal defense lawyers help defend someone who has been charged with a crime. Defense attorneys help their client get served a fair trial and make sure the law is accurate and upheld. In the case that someone is convicted, a criminal defense attorney can also help negotiate a reduced sentence.
-
What do workers’ compensation benefits cover?You may be eligible to receive compensation for your medical treatment—including hospital bills, physical therapy, prescriptions, and more—and your lost wages.
