About Rick
Rick Farrow studied at College of the Ozarks before earning his J.D. from the University of Missouri–Kansas City in 1993. He finished law school at a time when the legal landscape was shifting, and he entered the profession with a law degree and a steady sense of purpose. The combination of a small-college undergraduate background and a metropolitan law school gave him a mix of perspectives.
He later moved into public defense. In 2001 he worked as a trial lawyer in the Missouri Public Defender's Office, Trial Division. That role put him in courtrooms across the state and required handling a steady docket of contested matters. The public defender years shaped his approach to trial work. They also provided regular experience in jury trials, evidentiary hearings and courtroom procedure.
He is the owner of Farrow Law Office, LLC. The firm operates from an office on the Court Square in West Plains, Missouri. As owner, he manages the practice and represents clients in state courts. His work is conducted under the authority granted by the Missouri bar, and he practices within that jurisdiction.
Colleagues and clients describe him as straightforward in the courtroom and practical outside it. He brings trial experience to cases that require contested hearings or negotiations. The years spent in public defense inform how he evaluates evidence and prepares a case for trial. He is comfortable arguing motions and examining witnesses, and he has ongoing familiarity with local courts in southern Missouri.
He maintains an office presence in West Plains and handles matters that arise in Missouri courts. His practice reflects the combination of a state law education, years of trial work in the public sector and the responsibilities of running a small firm. He continues to work from his Court Square address in West Plains and to represent clients in matters brought in Missouri courts.
