5 Star Reviews
“I have been working as a digital marketing strategist with Sheehan Law for many years now, and they have always been kind and professional in every interaction. The business relationship they maintain with us is strong thanks to their hard work and dedication and I imagine they treat their legal clients even better. It is definitely worth your time to contact this firm to see if they can help you with your probate, estate planning and real estate issues.”

“Sheehaw law has been our family law firm for years. Unexpectedly both of my parents passed away within 6 months last year and thankfully we were able to rely on this firm to get us through the complexity of probating two wills within months of each other.
Farren clearly explained the entire process to us and handled our courtroom proceedings with the utmost professionalism. I also received excellent service from her office staff and paralegal. I have recommended Sheehan law to three other friends and they have all been very pleased with the legal service they have received.”

“I called Sheehan Law with a vague idea of what I needed, but not quite sure. In our initial communication, any questions I had were quickly answered and it was clear that they knew exactly what I needed. The POA and DPOA were ready very quickly, and when we went in for signatures, they were also happy to notarize the HIPPA release that I brought along. The ladies in this office offer outstanding service and I would not hesitate to come back for any future legal needs.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to observe Farren’s work in a complicated real estate/oil and gas litigation matter. She is beyond competent, highly professional and a true expert who grasped the important elements and issues of the case long before her opposing counsel. I’d recommmed Farren without hesitation to anyone seeking representation in a real estate matter.”
- John Hennan, Real estate Attorney
“Farren is the quintessential professional when it comes to estate planning, probate and real estate services. I have known her on both a professional and personal level for over 10 years and can attest to the fact that she stays informed and educated on the law and treats clients with all the respect and attention they deserve.”
- Brooke Hardie, Estate planning Attorney
“Farren is an excellent attorney. She is smart, client-driven, and empathetic. I have highly enjoyed partnering with her on real estate litigation. Each time we have achieved an excellent result for our clients. I would recommend her to anyone. Additionally, I know she is well-respected in the probate court and is known to be a kind, well prepared, and efficient advocate. I highly, highly recommend this attorney.”
