I can’t thank them or refer them enough!!!

These guys have such high rating for a reason. I received excellent service from multiple attorneys and paralegals. And the case outcome was actually even better than what I had hoped for. I can’t thank them or refer them enough!!! Thank you again!

They went above and beyond for me

I would recommend Farah & Farah to anyone that needs representation. In my book they went above and beyond for me and that’s all that matters. I’m even willing to say it in a commercial because you all have truly changed my life. My family and I thank you so much for all you have done.

I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Farah & Farah

My attorney Joseph Presutti was excellent. Mr. Presutti took my case after another large Law Firm and Attorney sat on my case for over a year and then dropped me. That attorney said that I did not have a case. Mr. Presutti’s faith in me and my case got me awarded a very large sum. I highly recommended Farah and Farah.

Meet Eddie Farah

Eddie Farah is the founder and managing partner of Farah & Farah. As a Jacksonville personal injury attorney, Eddie has been fighting for accident victims since 1979.

Eddie was born and raised in Jacksonville. He and his family have grown the firm from a single office in the Florida Theater building downtown into a multi-state powerhouse with offices from Atlanta to West Palm Beach. The firm was founded on the principle of putting the client first and leveraging a collaborative family atmosphere in order to provide the best experience possible for clients.

With more than $2 billion (and counting) recovered for clients, Eddie leads by example, showing what the power of together can achieve.

A Champion for the Underdog Since 1979

Personal injury law is unlike any other practice area out there. In our line of work, we meet everyday people who have gone through extraordinary events and are often facing the most difficult moments they will ever have. Whether it’s a car accident on the way to work, a doctor’s mistake that costs their health, or a slip and fall at a place of business–the common theme is that accident victims are hurt through no fault of their own and left trying to pick up the pieces.

We represent people from all walks of life and we go toe-to-toe against giant corporations and insurance companies. Our responsibility here is to make sure our clients are well taken care of. When they come to us, they aren’t thinking about the long-term effects of their accident or what may come down the road. They’re just thinking about how to pay their existing bills, especially when they’re unable to work.

We’re in it for the long haul. With more than 500 legal professionals all pushing for the best possible outcomes, we’re a force to be reckoned with, and our shared goal is to make it easy on our clients. A question I’m always asking my team is, “What have you done today to make our clients’ lives better?”

We’ll Invest in Your Case From Day One

In every case we undertake, we invest in our client’s case from day one. From that very first consultation, we’re investing our own money to try and seek every possible avenue to maximize recovery. Moreover, we don’t put a budget on what our attorneys deem necessary to build the strongest case they can.

Some law firms may not have the financial resources to pursue a maximum recovery and may need to limit their efforts in areas like what experts they can afford to bring in. We’re not like that. Whoever we need to call in to expertly demonstrate your damages and what you went through, we’ll call. When you have world-renowned experts in their field coming to testify, you level the playing field against the insurance companies or big corporations who try everything in their power to minimize their payout after an accident.

Our firm makes it so it doesn’t matter how big the other side is; we use our keen experience, a collaborative approach, and whatever resources are necessary to hold people accountable and help victims come back stronger than before.

Leading From the Front

After more than four decades practicing law, I’ve learned that you have to be “in it” every day. As a leader, I can’t just tell my team to go do something; I have to be here leading by example. I still take client calls and help set up cases. I’m here every day doing the work because I’d never ask any member of my team to do something I haven’t already done myself.

I’ve worked almost every Saturday for the last 20 years doing our Legal Live radio show on News 104.5 WOKV. We love getting all the calls, emails, and testimonials from people in our area who have dialed into the show.

Even after all these years, I’m here day-in and day-out because I have a passion for helping people. When you have a vision, and you impart that into your people and into your firm’s DNA, it’s powerful. It creates an entire organization dedicated to doing whatever it takes for those who need our help.

It’s an Honor To Have Employees Who Have Been Here for 10, 20, and 30+ Years

For our attorneys, this work is for a higher purpose; it’s a calling. They love what they do and they’re completely committed to our clients’ success. So we’re completely committed to them.

Our employees are supported and mentored, and they have a path to grow. We tell every member of the team, “We will invest in you.” Whether it’s calling in the top deposition experts in the world for a special seminar or connecting new attorneys with our more experienced ones, we prioritize people every step of the way. From the mailroom to reception, we want everybody to feel the Farah effect and move forward. When they become better, our firm becomes better, and we’re able to do that much more for our clients.

Building this personal injury law firm from a single office in downtown Jacksonville to what it is today took a lot of thoughtful steps. I’m proud to say we’ve grown the firm organically by treating our staff and clients truly like family.

And, ultimately, people stick around because they like it here. No matter how big we grow, we’ll always honor those homegrown roots and how it all got started.

We encourage our attorneys and support staff to all give back to the efforts in their own communities where they see they can do the most good. When you have that many force multipliers working to make a positive difference, it becomes a powerful force for good and where our motto “Here for You, Here for Good” came from. To continue in that effort, we also put out an incredible amount of free legal resources, from guides and videos, to fielding legal questions on WOKV’s Legal Live radio show.

At the End of the Day, It’s Always About People

When I was a kid, one of my first jobs was working a paper route around Jacksonville. That’s actually where I got my first exposure to the law, as I’d pore over the paper’s legal section to get what I thought was the most interesting “scoop.” It also taught me that earning a paycheck takes a lot of hard work, and that it felt fulfilling to know what I had accomplished each day.

My family came from humble beginnings, with my mom and dad being first-generation immigrants. My dad owned a grocery store just off Fairfax Street for almost 30 years, and we grew up seeing that if you worked hard and made it all about serving others, you could be successful.

While helping out at my dad’s grocery store, I saw the value of community first-hand. Communities are built on an exchange of trust, really. I saw my dad lend other folks’ a hand in their time of need, and sometimes he’d ask a friend to watch me while he ran an errand.

Communities, like families, take care of each other. That’s at the heart of how we approach the service we provide here at Farah & Farah. From that very first day you walk through our door, you’re part of the family. We’ve got your back.

What “Here For You, Here for Good” Means to Me

My early experiences at my dad’s grocery store are still a driving force behind our initiatives in the local community today. It’s something my family is passionate about and a tradition we’ve passed down to the younger generation as they practice law at the firm as well. Over the years, we’ve given hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours and monetary donations.

One of my favorites is our annual Empowering Greatness Scholarship, which helps provide financial assistance to underserved youths to help them pursue their dreams of graduating college. Another is Rethreaded, which serves survivors of human trafficking by providing meaningful employment and support. And I can’t forget to mention Betty Burney and the I’m a Star Foundation, whose heart and soul are centered on building strong communities.

We encourage our attorneys and staff to all give back to the efforts in their own communities in whatever ways they feel they can do the most good. When you have that many people all working to make a positive difference, it really adds up! And so we formed our motto, “Here for You, Here for Good.”

Farah & Farah’s Mission Is Centered on Family

There’s something truly special about Jacksonville. It’s where I grew up and, Lord willing, where I’ll always call home. My wife, Reem, and I have raised a beautiful family here, and it’s the honor of my life to have my children, Khalil, Dalya, and Rawan, as well as my nephew, Ramzi, and my niece, Rania, all working here with us. They are all gifted attorneys in their own right, and our firm is truly better off having them here.

You can ask anyone in the firm; these kids have worked hard to get here. I’m thankful for many of our more experienced attorneys taking them under their wing and showing them the ropes, just like we do with any of our new hires. No matter what path they choose, I’m so proud of the next generation of Farahs and excited to watch each of them hone in on their own set of unique talents.

Speaking of family, it’s tough to put that experience into words. I honestly just feel lucky to have so many family members at the firm. We work together closely every single day, and we complement each other well. Our synergy is what’s helped our firm become so successful. We’re family, and we certainly disagree at times, but it’s an honor that I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Where You’ll Find Me Outside the Office

When I’m not in the office or visiting our teams at one of our many other locations across Florida and Georgia, I love being outside. Our house is the family meeting spot, primarily because of my wife’s amazing cooking, and we all gather together, eating, talking, and laughing.

When I get a little extra time, hiking and camping are at the top of my list. I’ve hiked on the Appalachian Trail many times and still go camping with a few high school buddies who’ve remained close all these years. I’ve even gotten into mountain biking on recent trips. I feel incredibly blessed that Jacksonville provides so many wonderful opportunities to get outside, even out on the water, where kayaking is always a great way to spend an afternoon.

If it’s football season, I’ll be cheering on my hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, every chance I get. Our family gets especially animated every year when my college team, the Florida Gators, plays the Georgia Bulldogs. I’ve found that downtime is crucial to recharge, so I can be ready to roll when I’m back in the office.
