Moderator and Coordinator, Law & (dis)Orders: Protecting and Preserving Dignity of Persons with Disabilities in the Courtroom

Perneita Farrar graduated from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2022. After completing a clerkship with the District Court of Baltimore City, and passing the bar, she immediately launched a solo practice. Her practice focuses on estate planning and elder law, where she helps clients with creating effective estate plans, probate administration, asset protection, and Medicaid planning. Perneita brings her prior career experience in public health, and professional training to ensure that her clients are educated on the importance of protecting their assets while also promoting generational wealth.

As a law student, Perneita secured several internships and fellowship opportunities, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the Department of Navy, and the Office of the Public Defender. In 2020, she was selected as the MSBA Student Ambassador, where she was tasked with coordinating professional and networking events that connected law students with members of the bar association.

While building a solo practice, Perneita has leveraged many opportunities to connect with mentors, join practice area workgroups, and network with her peers for support. Currently, she is a fellow in the Pro Bono Resource Center's Professional Leadership Academy, where she is continuing her legal training and practical courtroom skills by representing clients at pro bono clinics.
