The Law Offices of Eddie Farah was established in 1980 after firm founder Eddie Farah graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.
In 1990, his brother, Chuck, graduated from Cumberland and the firm’s name changed to Farah & Farah.
The third and fourth Farahs now are practicing in the firm: Eddie Farah’s son, Khalil, and daughter, Dalya.
“I never pushed them to do it, but it’s a family affair at this point,” said Eddie Farah.
“They don’t get any special treatment. They’re handling cases just like everybody else.”
Khalil Farah, 30, joined the firm in 2015. A graduate of Florida State University College of Law, he focuses his practice on representing people who’ve been injured in automobile accidents and premises liability.
