A Branford law firm run by a well-known Democrat that focuses on real estate is expanding to Fairfield County with a satellite practice in Bridgeport.

Edward L. Marcus, principal of The Marcus Law Firm and a former state senator and Democratic State Central Committee chairman, announced that Edwin Farrow will join his firm. Farrow will continue to practice out of his current Bridgeport location, where his general business law practice primarily deals with real estate matters.

“I am delighted to welcome Ed and look forward to working with him as we expand our practice west, from Branford to include a new ability to serve clients in Fairfield County,” Marcus said in a statement. “Ed brings a wealth of business law expertise, including finance, mortgage, contract negotiation and bankruptcy, which will perfectly complement our existing focus.”
