Farrish Johnson Law Office
With Equal Right, July 2006

Farrish Johnson Law Office was established in 1893 and has been proudly serving the Mankato and southern Minnesota area ever since. Charlotte Farrish, the firm's namesake, joined the firm in 1926. Ms. Farrish is noted as one of the earliest women to establish a successful law practice. In a legal community comprised of predominantly male attorneys, she distinguished herself with her knowledge of the law, her legal abilities, her dedication to her clients, and her willingness to assist other lawyers in the community. In the 1940s she provided valuable service to many Mankato attorneys by taking over their practices while they were off fighting in the war. When the war was over, Ms. Farrish simply returned those clients to their former attorneys for nothing more than a "thank you." 

Robert J. Sheran joined the firm in 1946 and in 1963 was appointed Associate Justice and then Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court.  Miles Zimmerman joined the firm in 1952 and practiced with the firm until he was appointed District Court Judge of Blue Earth County in 1974.  Terri J. Stoneburner joined the firm in 1979 and she was appointed District Court Judge in 1990.  Governor Ventura appointed Terri to the Minnesota Court of Appeals in 2000. 

The attorneys and experienced support staff at Farrish Johnson Law Office are proud of our past and committed to carrying on the tradition established by Charlotte Farrish and our other distinguished colleagues of providing the best possible legal representation for individuals, families, and businesses.

Farrish Johnson Law Office continues to practice in the areas of real estate, probate, business law, business and commercial litigation, and appellate law, with two attorneys certified as civil trial specialists, and also offers mediation and arbitration services.
