Bob Farley is a seasoned civil trial attorney with a history of handling all aspects of medical malpractice and personal injury matters, both on the defense and plaintiff’s side.  His vast experience gives him a rare and unique perspective and the ability to be an aggressive and zealous advocate for victims seriously and catastrophically injured due to the negligence of others.  Bob also has nearly 40 years of experience litigating cases of medical malpractice and personal injury.

After completing law school and a judicial appellate clerkship with the Honorable James F. Couch, Jr. of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, Bob entered private practice in 1986.  Since then, he has tried over 250 jury trials to verdict in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.  He appears regularly in all state and federal trial and appellate courts in those jurisdictions, handling all aspects of case management, strategy, trial, and post-verdict issues and appeals.  Bob is also an experienced and court approved private civil litigation and ADR mediator.

Raised in Prince George's County, Maryland, Bob enjoys spending his free time with his children and two grandchildren, “Rockin’ the Red,” (Go Caps!), and a warm afternoon on the Bay enjoying crabs.
