When we needed to learn how to manage our sister's anticipated inheritance, it didn't take long to settle on the Farr Law Firm for advice. Their reputation as the experts in elder law and estate planning preceded them. After a thorough review of our situation, they revised my mother's revocable living trust and prepared a Special Needs Trust for my sister. There was some urgency as my mother was nearing 100 years of age. Thanks to their knowledge and depth of experience they were able to complete the work in a matter of days. Trusts are complicated and in the course of administering them, I've had numerous questions for Mr. Farr or a member of his staff. Without fail, responses are clear, comprehensive and delivered without delay. Working with Farr, I know I can count on things being done correctly and to our best advantage - and that adds up to great peace of mind.

Originally we chose Evan Farr and his law firm based on his clients' reviews. Our initial appointment with Evan only confirmed all the excellent reviews we have read. Three specific qualities set Evan apart from other attorneys practicing Elder Law: his vast knowledge, excellent listening skills and offering of continuous education for his many clients. We much appreciated Evan's help in navigating the complex and stressful process of setting up our legal documents. We also appreciate Sara Entis' efforts to finalize this colossal task and to make the important signing appointment totally flawless. In addition, we want to mention Sierra Kolasa's willingness to help every time we needed assistance. Our entire experience only proved that choosing Evan and his firm was the right decision. We highly recommend Evan and his firm to everyone.

Evan is a first rate attorney and he’s always generous with time and knowledge. His contributions to other sites, the legal profession and the community as a whole are invaluable.

I am grateful to Evan and his team for their work on reversing the denial of my son's Medicaid case. I was pleased with their knowledge and expertise of what was needed to successfully handle my case. The fact that I had legal counsel representation made a huge difference in how Medicaid handled the final decision of our case. Connie was wonderful and very thorough and she and Evan kept the case moving expeditiously. I am so pleased with the outcome of this case for my son! I am also going to be working with Evan and his staff on getting legal guardianship for my son. I highly recommend the Farr Law Firm.

Mr. Farr is quick to respond when the time is challenging. His staff member was prompt and polite. She was available even when the office was closed (very important for me as the time is the essence). Easy to schedule the appointment. Mr. Farr is very knowledgeable in the area I needed help with (probate). Mr. Farr was very patient with me, as I was stressed and looked for advise. Definitely will hire him if we will have to probate. His advises were very helpful and straight to the point.

We have been using Evan Farr in Fairfax for 20 years. He is thorough and every attorney in his office is super competent and dedicated to making sure that your living will/trust reflects your individual needs. It is a comprehensive process...they make you think about more than who you want to manage your money and when your children can get access to it. You are asked to think about the circumstances regarding when your loved ones should consider a nursing home, if any. You must think about who you want to make health care decisions for you if you cannot make them yourself. You must state your DNR instructions. You must think about autopsies and organ donation to name a VERY FEW. They give advice about who to list as beneficiaries for all types of assets. There are so many considerations that you must ponder so that your loved ones are not left with the burden of making these decisions. IT IS HARD AND SHOULD BE. It is a collaborative process. It is not boilerplate. And more importantly, it is not a ONE and DONE decision. Through the years your wishes may change as will your tax situation and the people you chose as trustees and guardians. The Farr legal team has been with us through all of these times. They are able to make legal mumbo jumbo understandable and relatable and they welcome questions. At the end, you will feel satisfied that every situation and issue has been considered. I am so thankful that we found them.

The Farr Law Firm's expertise, solid competence, and guidance led us out of our struggle with long-term care. They were able to help us find financial security and excellent care. Evan and his staff are amazing people who are dedicated to changing lives for the best. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough for the life-changing results they have made possible. God bless these unique and caring experts. Check out their website.

“We have a more than 12 year association with this skilled and well-known law firm. They have created detailed trust documents for us and has help is through updates and revisions as circumstances change. We always felt fully comfortable with updates as Evan explained in detail the changes he recommend and explained the reason for the change such as new financial position or up to the minute changes to applicable state and federal laws. We recommended several relatives and friends to Farr Law Firm and each have been thoroughly satisfied.”

As a small business owner, I know the right stuff when I see it. Evan and his staff are tops, whether you need a trust, a power of attorney, or complex Medicaid asset protection planning. There are a lot of details, and the Farr Law Firm pays attention to them in addition to the big picture. Although Evan is a nationally-recognized elder attorney, what he and his firm can do for YOU that is most important: they care.

I can't say enough good things about this firm, all the staff and Attorney' are very caring and senstive people when it comes to their clients. They walked me through and got me through some tough times, and I am so appreciative of all of their help and guidance. They were very responsive when I needed them, quick to come up with the answers I needed and I don't think I would have made it through my ordeal as quickly as I did without their help. I beleive they are the best of the best when it comes to Medicaid, and I am sure in their other fields and I thank God for them! I would highly recommend this firm and use them in the future. Thanks All, this firm Rocks!

ZIn January of 2017 my 95 year old mother fell and broker her hip which started a dizzying journey with Medicare, Medicaid and proper legal planning. I researched a number of eldercare law firms and decided to have a meeting with Evan Farr (no relation)... he and his firm exceed our expectations and managed a complex financial and healthcare journey and accomplished everything. His staff have all been meticulous and professional. Our situation took place in Maryland which has its own quirks. I highly recommend them and would be happy to speak to people who may be considering them. Carlton Farr...again, no relation.

Dear Mr. Farr, We are writing to thank you for the exceptional experience working with your office. We worked closely with Mr. Justin Cohee who recently prepared several documents for us (Advanced Medical Directive, General Financial Power of Attorney, Real Estate Power of Attorney, HIPAA Authorization). We had many questions and clarifications and Mr. Cohee was always highly responsive, knowledgeable, very clear in his explanations, and patient. Always organized for our meetings, he is the consummate professional. Going through this process can be stressful and details are critical. Having someone you trust to guide you through makes all the difference. We found that in Justin. At a personal level he is also a pleasure to work with. We also had excellent experience with the entire office staff in Fairfax. Everyone is pleasant and professional. Thank you for having such talented individuals in your firm. We look forward to working with your office in the future. (Fairfax, VA)
