Moore. “His commitment to the people of Worcester County, both in the courtroom and through his extensive community service, is a testament to the integrity and fairness he will bring to the district court. We are proud to see him serve in this new role.”
Farlow currently serves as a prosecutor in the Office of the Worcester County State’s Attorney, a position he has held for the past seven years. Prior to joining the office full time, he was a solo practitioner in Ocean Pines, where his practice concentrated on major traffic offenses, criminal law, asset forfeiture law, and wills and trusts. He also worked part-time as a prosecutor for the Office of the Worcester County State’s Attorney from 2003 to 2010.
A former commissioner for the Town of Pittsville, Farlow was the youngest serving elected official in Maryland at the age of 19. Additionally, Farlow has received numerous awards for his service to volunteer fire departments, including the Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Department and the Pittsville Volunteer Fire Department. In recognition of his service, Farlow was recently inducted into the Maryland State Firemen’s Association Hall of Fame.
Farlow earned his law degree from the Widener University School of Law.
