What makes Farrell Fritz different for you and your career? I came to Farrell Fritz because it is the top estate litigation firm in the State. I quickly came to realize the high quality of work across all the firm’s departments. It is truly an honor to work with such exceptional colleagues here. Not only are they accomplished and effective, but they are also genuinely good people committed to our firm’s clients and to maintaining the highest levels of integrity.
