    Steven Farber understands that the selection of a lawyer to handle a tragic, troubling, complex and sensitive legal matter is confusing. This is a day and age of massive amounts of crass marketing and lawyer advertising. Consumers of legal services should be cautious and should carefully make their selection of a lawyer to handle their case or claim based upon realistic and helpful information. Steven Farber believes that consumers of legal services should not rely on the splash of a flashy webpage, TV commercials, billboards, mass mailings or solicitations, or large page telephone directory display advertising. The lawyer that you choose to represent you should be accessible, experienced, and capable. He believes that your lawyer should be able to provide you with personal attention and should be a dedicated and effective advocate and representative for your cause.
