Trust and determination are the pillars to Mr. Farrell’s success when representing victims and survivors of sexual trauma and claimants injured by defective products. By establishing an early rapport with clients, Mr. Farrell empowers his clients to share their stories by providing a safe and supportive environment while clients begin to assist in the prosecution of their claim.
