I was recommended to Flaherty Fardo. I was impressed with their professionalism and thoroughness in handling a wrongful death suit. Noah and his team, Bill and Jaclyn. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Jaclyn was very easy to work with when I had questions and Bill as well. They kept me informed throughout the case.This firm is top notch. I also had an injury case and had a successful outcome as well. I will recommend this firm highly to anyone needing a highly professional and successful law firm. Thank you Noah and your great team.

"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with. Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.

During the wrongful death settlement proceeds allocation battle, Noah and his team were constantly keeping me informed. They genuinely cared about my situation and made me feel like I was their only client. I cannot express the elation that I felt once everything was settled. If it weren't for Noah and his team I would still be in a legal battle. I am extremely impressed with their knowledge, expedience and professionalism. I will be making a special 1800 mile road trip to just shake their hands. Thanks again Noah, Nicole, William, and Brian.

What Our Clients Say

"We had such a positive experience. They were responsive, prompt, completely professional. They communicated clearly, gave us honest assessments, were 100% reliable and kept on top of everything over a long period of time. (They were the opposite of predatory, for what it's worth.) And...the outcome was very good. Highly recommend."

"My family used Flaherty Fardo after my husband was injured in an accident. This was our first experience with a law suit and we were very apprehensive. The entire process could not have gone smoother. We were kept up to date with every step of our case - and our outcome was much better than expected. I hope we never need a lawyer again, but if we do we would use them every day of the week!"
