About Charles P

Charles P Farrar built the foundation of his legal career at two Midwestern universities. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Notre Dame in 1986 and a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1989. Those credentials set the stage for a practice rooted in family and juvenile matters.

He has taken on roles that extend beyond client work. He serves as chair of the Oakland County Bar Association Juvenile Law Committee. In that position he participates in the local bar’s efforts on juvenile law issues and contributes to discussions that affect practitioners and the community.

Farrar pursued additional training aimed at family law practice. He completed the Family Law Certificate Program through the State of Michigan Institute of Continuing Legal Education. The program provided coursework and practical instruction related to divorce, custody, support and other family law topics.

Across his career he has combined continuing education and bar work. Those activities inform how he approaches cases and how he stays current on evolving law and procedure. He has been involved in committee work at the county bar, where members share developments and discuss legal trends affecting children and families.

He operates his practice under the name Charles P. Farrar PLLC. The firm’s title reflects a private practice setting where he handles matters that touch on family relationships and juvenile court proceedings. He represents individuals in the courtroom and in out-of-court negotiations, drawing on the training he completed at the Institute of Continuing Legal Education and his work with the bar association.

Colleagues and clients describe Farrar as methodical in case preparation and attentive to procedural detail. He balances courtroom demands with the practical needs of families, aiming to resolve disputes through the appropriate mix of negotiation and litigation. He keeps up professional development and participates in bar activities that address juvenile law concerns.

He now practices at Charles P. Farrar PLLC, where he handles family and juvenile law matters.
