A consummate professional who delivers exceptional results

When our family-owned manufacturing company faced a complex commercial dispute with a national supplier, we turned to Marjorie Farris at Stites & Harbison. From our initial consultation, her deep experience was evident. She has a remarkable ability to distill complicated contractual and tort issues into clear, actionable strategies. Her three decades of practice, all with the same respected firm, provided a stability and institutional knowledge that proved invaluable. Marjorie meticulously prepared our case, demonstrating the same thoroughness that undoubtedly contributed to her recognition in areas like Commercial Litigation. While we hoped to avoid court, her reputation as an experienced trial lawyer gave us significant leverage during negotiations. The outcome was a highly favorable settlement that protected our business operations and future. Beyond her legal acumen, Marjorie is a direct and responsive communicator who made us feel like a priority, not just another file. Her guidance through every step was both strategic and pragmatic. For any business navigating litigation or potential class action exposure in Kentucky, I cannot recommend Marjorie A. Farris more highly. She is the definition of a trusted legal advisor.
