The third and fourth Farahs now are practicing in the firm: Eddie Farah’s son, Khalil, and daughter, Dalya.

“They don’t get any special treatment. They’re handling cases just like everybody else.”
Khalil Farah, 30, joined the firm in 2015. A graduate of Florida State University College of Law, he focuses his practice on representing people who’ve been injured in automobile accidents and premises liability.

Far from delivering negative news, the phone call revealed that Headley had been named one of 20 winners of the Florida Bar’s Tobias Simon Pro Bono Service Award. The Lakeland lawyer is the recipient for Judicial Circuit 10, which includes Polk, Hardee and Highlands counties.
For about 16 years, Headley has devoted untold hours at no charge to helping fellow veterans with such tasks as obtaining military records, verifying service-related disabilities and applying for benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Headley, 49, said he hadn’t previously heard of the Tobias Simon Award. He and lawyers from the state’s 19 other judicial circuits were honored in a virtual ceremony Jan. 28.
