The late James F. Farmer began the law firm in 1978 after practicing in Prince George's County with Delegate Joseph F. Vallario, Jr. He built the firm in Waldorf, Maryland, using sheer aggression, tenacity, and hard work, turning the firm into one that had the reputation as the hardest fighting firm in the history of Southern Maryland. Mr. Farmer, the father, was known as a "bulldog" who never took no for an answer.
