About:
Attorney T. Cody Farrens was raised in Decatur, Nebraska working on the family farm. He attended college at the University of Nebraska at Omaha before attending law school at the University of Iowa. While in law school, Cody was on the Jessup International Moot Court Competition and was published in the Journal of Transnational Law and Contemporary Problems. Cody graduated from law school in 2010 and relocated with his family to Sioux City, where he began work at a local law firm focusing on insurance issues, personal injury, family law, and workers’ compensation. He then became a partner at Fankhauser, Farrens & Rachel, PLC, who merged with Vriezelaar, Tigges, Edgington, Bottaro, Boden & Lessmann Law Firm in 2021 – starting a business venture with endless opportunities. Currently, Cody focuses his practice on family law, criminal law, workers’ compensation, and juvenile law. He is licensed to practice in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Cody lives in Sioux City with his wife and three kids. When not working, most of his time is spent coordinating dance schedules for his daughter, coaching his son’s baseball team, and otherwise being with his family. If time permits, Cody is known to enjoy watching college football or the New York Yankees.

"I had the extreme pleasure of having Cody Farrens as my attorney. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond on my case. He kept me up to date and communicated with me thru out the process. I was homeless and he was able to get a legal matter over turned and get me back in home. Highly recommended!!!"

"I have hired Cody and if you are wanting a great attorney use Cody, hands down this attorney will go the distance for you. He is very prompt, he gets stuff done in a timely manner, he understands you, he takes time to get to know you and your case, he is very detailed oriented, he will be blunt with you and not sugar coat anything. Cody is exceptional at what he does and I would recommend him to family and friends if need be that's just how great he really is. The office atmosphere is inviting, the people are friendly and parking is just right outside the door, it is very easy to find in down town Sioux City."
