Our firm was organized by two very enthusiastic partners and close friends, Mr. Hal P. Farley and Mr. Ka'ren V. Ketendjian who in September of 1994 combined their various talents to serve your legal needs.  Both partners are graduates of San Joaquin College of Law in Fresno, California class of 1992.  They have even a longer history of mutual work and cooperation than the age of the firm itself; both started as associate attorneys at Greg Morris and Associates, a major law firm also in Fresno, California, dealing with personal injury and workers’ compensation matters back in the 1990’s.  Mr. Farley is the head of the criminal defense and personal injury department of Farley and Ketendjian.  Mr. Ketendjian is supervising the workers' compensation department.  Both are experienced attorneys with a long history of satisfactory settlements and trial resolutions for plaintiffs, applicants and trial victories for criminal defendants. They are very passionate about their work and will always keep in touch with you, the client. In this firm your calls for help and attention will not be lost.

In 1988 Mr. Ketendjian accepted yet another challenge by enrolling in San Joaquin College of Law in Fresno to pursue his current legal career.  He graduated from San Joaquin in 1992 with a Juris Doctor degree, and he has been a practicing attorney since the fall of 1992. His area of expertise is workers' compensation.  For the subsequent nine years he worked as an associate attorney at Greg Morris and Associates and now works as a partner at Farley and Ketendjian.

Hal P. Farley was born in Portsmouth Virginia at a naval hospital.  His mother is a native Californian, and his father, a Texan.  His youth was spent moving around the United States until 1966, when the family moved to Kingsburg, California.  He had a wonderful bucolic childhood.   After graduation from Kingsburg High School, he spent two years at Reedley Junior College and transferred to California State University at Fresno where he graduated in 1979 with a B.A. in Communication Arts and Sciences. 

Mr. Farley worked in Television.  His tasks were master control and cameras.  

The next few years proved rather pointless, except for the birth of his only child, Hal David Farley, in 1986.    

Due to his mother’s kind insistence, Mr. Farley entered and graduated from the San Joaquin College of Law in 1992.  He was ninth in his class, less than a tenth of a point behind his current partner.  

After working one year for Greg Morris and Associates, Mr. Farley was a partner with Tomas Villarreal for about one year.  He then entered into his current partnership with Mr. Ketendjian.  

Currently, most of Mr. Farley’s work is in criminal law.  He still does personal injury cases.
