When my world turned upside down, we were fortunate to have Matt by our side. Words cannot fully capture how he went above and beyond for our family during one of the most challenging times in our lives. My son was facing the possibility of life imprisonment, but from day one, Matt assured us that he would do everything in his power to prevent that from happening. His compassion and unwavering support were evident throughout the entire case.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should I do if I've been charged with a crime in Louisville, Kentucky?
Contact a Louisville criminal defense lawyer immediately, before speaking to police or prosecutors. You have the right to remain silent, and anything you say can be used against you. Attorney Matt Farra is available by call or text 24/7 at (502) 314-4499. Early legal involvement is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your record, your rights, and your future.
2. How much does it cost to hire a criminal defense attorney?
Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of your case and the charges involved. Farra Law offers transparent fee structures and will walk you through costs during your free initial consultation. Investing in quality defense early often reduces far greater financial and personal consequences down the road.
3. What types of criminal cases does Farra Law handle?
Farra Law handles a wide range of criminal matters in Louisville and Jefferson County, including DUI and drunk driving, drug charges, assault, domestic violence, theft, felony and misdemeanor defense, probation violations, traffic offenses, juvenile defense, white collar crimes, and expungements. Every case is handled directly by Attorney Matt Farra from start to finish.
4. Can my charges be reduced or dismissed?
In many cases, yes. Farra Law examines evidence, police procedures, constitutional issues, and prosecutorial weaknesses to pursue charge reductions, dismissals, or favorable plea negotiations. Results depend on the specifics of your case, but aggressive pretrial work in Jefferson County courts frequently produces outcomes short of conviction.
