Farr, Farr, Emerich, Hackett & Carr, P.A

I lived in Charlotte County for several years, I became familiar with the reputation of Farr Law Firm, when it was time to make a will & a living will I contacted Farr Law Firm, they referred me to Dorothy Korszen at the Venice office, she asked me about the specifics of a living will, I clearly stated" I want every life saving measure initiated no less than 3 times" She had mentioned a "catholic declaration" to which I answered, "I'm not catholic" to which she replied "you don't have to be, it covers your wishes". I had a surgery scheduled, they requested a living will, I took it to the hospital with me, while waiting to be checked in I had an opportunity to read it through, I was in shock, it was the antithesis of what I requested, the catholic declaration has no life saving option, simply pull the plug as "the duty to preserve my life is not absolute". I stopped in to the Farr Law Firm, showing the document to the law clerk, she replied" this is not one of our forms, this is your form" I replied" I was given that document from Dorothy, I don't have access to those forms" She stated she would give the form to Ms Korszen then she will call me. Ms Korszen did call 2 days later stating that I had reviewed & approved the document. I was sent the will, not the living will, she asked me to read it in her office, as I started to read Ms Korszen interrupted stating "it's exactly what you asked for" feeling uncomfortable with her staring as I read the document, I signed it. She again asked what I wanted in the living will, I stated all life saving measures will be implemented no less than 3 times, she replied " I don't have a form that, just tear it up" hanging up the phone on me. I don't like to use the term nasty but she was rude & nasty! For the lack of effort she put into making the Will & Living Will, I could have searched online for a document that satisfied my wishes & have it notarized.

Met with Brady Scharrer to determine if he would be my chosen Estate planning attorney. Upon meeting eachother, we simply 1st met eachother as people. He is without question, a quite decent special human being and person. His staff echoed kindness, knowledge, and professionalism . Soon after, we discussed topics at hand. Do yourself a favor, and give these deserved persons a chance to assist you. I have done this review without any request or gain. Simply, they deserve it and I would of been unkind to a very special deserved professionalism group if I did not share.

They want to charge $300 for an initial consultation??!!!! That's ridiculous. That's before you even decide to retain them or not. I can understand asking $50 maybe, but for a phone consultation?? And most places offer them for free this is just crazy to me.

Had a death in the family and they handled almost all aspects of selling the estate. A huge time saver & would definitely recommend their services.

I have had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Rush, he is very professional and courteous with everyone he comes in contact with.
