About Edward M.
Edward M. Farmer trained as a psychologist before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Illinois State University in 2007 and completed his J.D. at Valparaiso University School of Law in 2010. Those academic years set the tone for a career that has crossed classroom instruction and courtroom work.
He began his legal career in 2010 as an associate at Bosley & Bratch, a practice known for handling veterans’ legal matters. There he gained early experience representing service members and navigating administrative appeals. In 2014 he joined Sullivan Hincks & Conway as an associate, expanding his litigation background and courtroom exposure. The move broadened his practical skills and deepened his familiarity with federal procedures.
By 2015 Farmer had added teaching to his resume. He served on the staff at The John Marshall Law School and took on an adjunct professor role that same year. In the classroom he drew on years of case work to explain administrative processes and advocacy techniques to law students. Colleagues from that period recall a practical approach to instruction, emphasizing how procedural rules shape outcomes.
Also in 2015, Farmer launched his own practice, The Law Office of Edward M. Farmer. As owner, he has managed both the business and the legal sides of the firm. He built a small practice that handles client intake, case assessment, and representation in administrative and federal matters. Running the office has required balancing client attention with the administrative responsibilities of a solo practice.
Farmer is licensed to practice in Illinois and before the Federal Circuit. That combination has made him comfortable with agency appeals and federal filings. His work history reflects repeated engagement with administrative law processes and individual advocacy within those forums.
Outside the office he has remained connected to legal education. His time at The John Marshall Law School included both staff responsibilities and classroom teaching. Those roles reinforced an interest in mentoring newer lawyers and in explaining complex rules in plain language.
Today Farmer operates The Law Office of Edward M. Farmer, handling matters that arise at the intersection of administrative processes and federal practice. He maintains an active practice focused on representing clients in administrative appeals and federal filings.
