Georgia Super Lawyers Magazine has selected Farahany to the 2014 Super Lawyers list, an honor reserved for lawyers exhibiting excellence in their practice areas.

Remarked Farahany, “To be recognized by my peers and selected to the Georgia Super Lawyers list is truly an honor. Knowing that Barrett & Farahany’s work toward the protection of workers’ rights is the catalyst behind this recognition makes the distinction that much more gratifying. The Super Lawyers list gives us another opportunity to spotlight the issues of harassment, discrimination and wage inequality in today’s workplace.”
Prior to beginning her practice, Farahany clerked for the Honorable John H. Ruffin, Jr. at the Georgia Court of Appeals. Farahany serves as co-chair of the American Association of Justice Wage and Hour Litigation Group and on the Board of the Atlanta Bar Association Labor and Employment Section.
