She is known as a zealous advocate for her clients in all aspects of family and matrimonial law.

In addition to representing high-net-worth individuals in contested and uncontested matrimonial actions and child-related matters, Fara frequently deals with New York and New Jersey jurisdictional issues involving child custody and child support disputes under UCCJEA and UIFSA, as she has an active practice and is a highly respected member of the bar in both states.

When appropriate, she prepares cases for hearings and trials and conducts the same as lead counsel.
