The History of Farris & Farris, P.A.
In late 1948, a young man named Robert A. Farris began his own law firm in Wilson, NC. A native of Wilson, North Carolina and graduate of the University of North Carolina and the University of North Carolina School of Law, Robert Farris provided the citizens of Wilson with sound, trustworthy, and reliable legal representation. Over the next fifty years, his law firm, known as Farris and Farris, P.A., continued to grow into one of Wilson's most respected law firms.
Robert Farris, Sr., left his firm in the capable hands of his sons, Robert A. Farris, Jr., Thomas J. Farris and William C. Farris. All graduates of the University of North Carolina and the University of North Carolina School of Law, the Farris brothers have over seventy years of combined experience in the legal profession. Robert and Thomas practice out of the Wilson office. William was sworn in as a District Court Judge for the Seventh Judicial District on March 1, 2001.
In September of 1997 Joseph N. Quinn, Jr. joined Farris and Farris. A native of Marion, NC, Joseph graduated from the University of North Carolina and Campbell University School of Law. From 1995 to 1997, Joseph served as an Assistant District Attorney for the Seventh Prosecutorial District.
William M.J. Farris, son of Robert Jr., is the second third generation member of Farris and Farris. William, a graduate of the University of North Carolina and North Carolina Central School of Law, joined the law firm of Farris and Farris in August of 2001. William previously clerked for the District Attorney's Office for the Seventh Prosecutorial District.
