Articles are informative with a wide range of topical issues facing seniors.

If you need estate planning, elder care planning, wills or trust work this is the best place in town. Mr. Farr literally wrote the books other lawyers around the United States use for elder law.

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 extraordinary and 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.

As an attorney at the Farr Law Firm, I am so pleased to be working with Evan Farr and his staff, as the firm is meticulous, organized, and very knowledgeable in the area of Elder Law and Estate Planning. With nearly 20 years of experience in the field, I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking such services.

I absolutely want to express my appreciation for all that Evan Farr and the Farr Law Firm contribute to us, and what a wonderful Law Firm you are. There are so many things that only your firm does to inform and help us move along in life and we get older, and to help us get smarter.

I highly recommend Evan Farr. His team is courteous and professional, and Evan is top tier as a practitioner in Wills, Trusts, Estates and Elder Law. I've had several real estate clients who have benefited greatly from the sound legal advice received by Evan and his team, as well as the compassion shown by them, in the difficult transition of selling the family home with parents aging. Evan Farr is an astute lawyer when it comes to understanding his clients needs and protecting the family nest egg.

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.

The Health Care system for the aged in the United States is a maze of details, legalisms, and contradictions put together by the congress as result of compromises with special interest groups in Washington. For individuals who are not trained in these complexities, it can be harrowing and even dangerous to their financial security. When I brought my parents to the Farr Law Firm ten years ago, they hired the Farr Law Firm to take care of us for the rest of their lives. Over the ensuing years, Evan Farr issued precise directions on keeping records, transfers, what to do and not to do within the system, and gave careful advice that provided peace of mind and saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in the end.
My parents were proud and independent people that were pillars in their community. But like so many others, they had outlived their money when they reached their nineties. Thanks to the preparation beforehand, however, they were able to survive with excellent care and dignity until the end of their lives. This was in great part because of the prudent advice of the Farr Law Firm. At the end of my mother’s life, one of the paralegal team members was particularly great, even coming to my mother’s wake, which I greatly appreciated. The Farr Law Firm really stuck with me and my family throughout and after.

My mother was enduring late stage Alzheimer’s dementia. She had reached the place where I could no longer care for her at home. Her income was limited to Social Security and a tiny pension. Certainly not enough to pay for a long-term care facility. Mr. Farr and his staff provided me with the exact information and strategies needed to have Mama approved for Medicaid. I could not have done it without their knowledge and expertise. Mama spent her last months in a wonderful local long-term care facility. I highly recommend Mr. Farr if you need any elder law or estate planning services. He and his team are professional, practical and personable. Go there. It’s worth every penny.

Thank you Mr. Farr and big thanks to everyone there at the firm. There were some tough days and your staff saw us at the worse time but they always seemed to brighten the day and even if the day wasn't brighter, they made us feel better. I cannot begin to name everyone for fear of leaving someone out but please pass along our thanks and appreciation to each and every one on your team because they were all special and left a lasting impression on us.

I cannot thank Mr. Farr and his staff enough for their excellent job assisting me manage and protect my mother's assets. He and his staff have been responsive, supportive, and caring. We started working with Mr. Farr and his staff seven years ago when my mother was still in her own home. They were and continue to be knowledgeable and efficient. I cannot thank them enough. My mother is currently in a skilled care facility and will be 96 this month! She is planning on living to 100 and with Mr. Farr and his staff’s help will be able to so comfortably, receiving all the benefits she needs and is entitled to.

Excellent services and very professional. Thank you and your team for all your help and expertise. I would recommend Farr Law Firm for effectively providing great service. Thank you !!

Evan H. Farr is a fair and honest person. Very pleased with his time and effort in preparing our Wills. Highly Recommended !!

The attorneys of the Farr Law Firm are top notch. The administrative staff is excellent. As a practicing attorney in a speciality area of the law I have the opportunity to observe other attorneys in action, Mr. Farr is the Commonwealth of Virginia's top Elder Law Attorney.

Five stars just for the fact that they are a smoke-free and fragrance-free work environment. This should be mandatory across all office environments.

The newsletters from Evan Farr’s Law Firm provide succinct, timely and relevant information on the current status of key issues, of interest to and affecting his clients/other readers. It’s a great source for one-stop shopping about the topics being addressed. The active hyperlinks provide a well-rounded, laser-focused explanation for further education & encourage discussion. Highly recommended!

The FARR Law Firm sells a comprehensive package of wills, medical directives, and powers-of-attorney. They have several offices based in Virginia mainly. Reps and even Mr. Farr are very responsive and provide good advice for the ageing community, in my case.

As the owner of three licensed assisted living communities in Virginia, I receive and read a lot of newsletters from the elder care and the elder law community, and I can honestly say that I consider the Farr Law Firm newsletter to be the best of them all. They present timely, interesting, and well-written information that I generally find is not available from other sources. I would highly recommend anyone interested in elder care or elder law or estate planning to sign up for the Farr Law Firm’s incredibly helpful newsletter.

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.

Excellent Law Firm! Very Professional! Mr. Evan Farr is very friendly and very knowledgeable!

probably the best newsletter on these subjects that anyone can find

I want to take this opportunity to recognize the Farr Law Firm for the assistance they provided me and my sister while we were dealing with the anxiety and emotions that came with placing our dad in a nursing facility. The team's patience and coaching were invaluable and much appreciated.

You cannot go at this alone, let the professionals handle the heavy lifting while you spend valuable time that you cannot get back with your Mom, Dad or loved one.

I found this quote that seemed fitting for the relationship we had with the Farr Law team.....

“If I could sit on a porch across from God, I’d thank him for lending us you”.

Only One Word to explain The Farr Law Firm... AWESOME!!! Please take note if they say that they can Trust and Believe that they Can!! Awesome Staff with a wealth of Knowledge from thier foundation to the chief officers in each department. One of the most significant traits that came with having the Farr Law Firm representing our case was the feeling that we received as if they understood how our family was feeling going threw a time where we thought that no one cared... but guess what the Farr Law Firm Cared. Awesome Job from Evan Farr and his beautiful wife (who is Really the BOSS) to Alicia, to Serria, and the entire Staff... THANK YOU for all of your Time, caring and vast knownledge & Professionalism that you have offered to my Family...
God Bless
The Powells

P.S.
THANKS FOR WALKING IT LIKE YOU TALKED IT!!

The Farr Law Firm has assisted not only myself, but many of my clients seeking Asset Protection and Medicaid compliance in order to stave off costly Probate and Long-term care costs. Mr. Farr has a masterful command of these subject areas and is an invaluable resource to all seeking asset protection from long-term care costs. His advice can virtually eliminate Probate costs when his methodology is followed!

Evan Farr literally wrote the book on elder case. When I visited with my >80-year old father (who already had a solid set of end-of-life documents from another reputable attorney), Mr. Farr told me he wouldn't redo those documents for his own father. A year or so later, he sold my father an expensive set of replacement documents (without my knowledge, and I have a POA). He wouldn't refund the money, so we went through a time- consuming and largely unnecessary process to update these documents. The new documents are more complex, and in my opinion, tend to create a need for additional legal services down the road. For these reasons, I won't recommend this law firm to my friends.

What are the qualities of a good lawyer?
They must have a good commutation skills , attention to your request, great listeners and advise what’s on the best of their clients interest instead of pushing clients to make a fast decision.
What we received from this farm , Attorney Mr.Farm was the superb service. His judgment, analytical skills , perseverance and understanding of what we requested was more than we expected. His knowledge in the elder law and protect yourself and family planning is excellent. Very professional and his staffs welcome you as you are one of family. The moment you walk in you are treated like they have known you for a long time . In our case we have used his service for more than 17 years . You could not find any firm like Farr Law Firm in this area other than this firm. We are very pleased with the service . We made a right decision. Thank you !

I am an employee of the Farr Law Firm. I am proud to be a member of a Team of such caring, compassionate and kind individuals. The Elder Law and Estate Planning services that we offer can make a huge difference in someone's life, and seeing the results and the relief that our client's experience is such a joyful experience.

In 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.

The most amazing lawyer ever! But before I go into the details of why I sing his praises, let me say that anyone who is here to read his reviews should immediately sign up for his newsletter. If you think you might need his services, you will benefit from his newsletter, which is chock-full of extremely useful information and original content. Unlike so many newsletters that just re-hash the same old stuff that is already out there and are full of generalities that aren't very helpful, Evan's newsletter includes the latest developments that affect his clients and addresses specific issues.

Here's my story: I hired Evan Farr in December 2016 to get my husband on Medicaid. Ours was an incredibly complex and unusual case that required a LOT of extra work for him and his team, and I am certain that his firm lost money handling our case because he charges a flat fee rather than billing hourly. The whole Medicaid process was full of twists and turns and many unexpected developments for me and for his team, and at each step of this tortuous 13-month journey, I sent up a prayer of thanks to God that Evan and his team were my guides and advocates. There is absolutely no way on earth that I could have successfully navigated Medicaid's byzantine requirements without them. Throughout the process, Evan and his team were amazingly responsive (e-mails were almost always answered within 24 hours; their responses to my relentless barrage of questions came early in the morning, late at night and on the weekends); unfailingly kind, helpful, encouraging and understanding; and never let on that my unexpectedly complex and long-and-drawn out case was a burden to them (as I'm sure it must have been). Because of them and their wise counsel, I was able to remain confident that we would ultimately get my husband approved for Medicaid, even though we encountered so many problems along the way and even though the process took far longer than anyone anticipated. Not only was I impressed again and again with how they went "above and beyond", it quickly became clear that Evan and his team truly *care* about their clients and are motivated by a deep-seated passion to improve the lives of their clients. He and his team are generous in every way: generous with their time and knowledge, and generous in spirit. For anyone who is in need of any of the services that the Evan Farr Law Firm provides, I can say with no equivocation whatsoever that the only mistake you could make is to *not* hire him. He truly is the most amazing lawyer ever!

I cannot thank Mr. Farr and his staff enough for their excellent job assisting me manage my mother's assets. He and his staff have been responsive, caring and supportive. We started working with Mr. Farr and his staff seven years ago when my mother was still in her own home. They were and continue to be knowledgeable and efficient. Everything we did was planned for her continuing care in the state of VA. When my mother decided she wanted to come "home" to the state of PA, Mr. Farr and his staff continued to support and help us in any way they could, including securing Veterans benefits for my mother when necessary. When we needed legal counsel in PA, he directed us to a wonderful elder care attorney here who is just as knowledgeable and supportive as Mr. Farr and his staff. I cannot thank them enough. My mother is currently in a skilled care facility and will be 96 this month! She is planning on living to 100 and with Mr. Farr and his staffs help will be able to so comfortably, receiving all the benefits she needs and is entitled too.

Extremely rude. If you wear perfume or cologne or smoke you cannot work here. It states in the application which is a form of descrimination. After applying received a very nasty and rude response which explains a lot about who works here. Rude and downright disrespectful .

I went to the Farr law firm about a year ago to try to get my Dad on Medicaid while retaining some of what became a meager life savings after paying for assisted living for 6 years.

Honestly, I feel like the 12k (not to mention the hours and hours of work and the aggravation) I spent on these services was for nothing.

I was told that the office knew the best nursing homes and would help getting my dad into a good nursing home by visiting them with me.That didn't happen. The only place the office suggested was disgusting and the staff there told me themselves that they would not be giving him his medication on time.

When I found where I wanted him I was told by the office that they didn't think that they accepted Medicaid and that it would be very difficult to get him in- both wrong- I did it myself.

I was told by Mr.Farr that we could retain about 60-90% of my dads money. We saved about 10%.

Trying to get Mr.Farr involved was like trying to see the Wizard of Oz- hard to get an audience and when the curtain was pulled aside, not much behind the bluster.

Sadly, my Dad passed about 3 months ago and nothing was ever resolved and the nursing home bills are up in the air.

Very disappointed.

My mother needed support understanding her trust documents and she had the privilege of speaking to Attorney Justin Cohee at the Farr Law Firm. He was kind, supportive, very clear and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Cohee or anyone at the Farr Law Firm. Our experience from reviewing the website, to interacting with the office admin staff to the actual meeting and document review was outstanding. We hope to use more of the Farr Law Firm services in the future!

I want to take this opportunity to say what a wonderful experience it was having the Evan Farr Law Firm handle the execution of a new Revocable Trust for me. I first met with Evan Farr for an hour, where he listened to what I wanted to do, and then suggested how the new Revocable Trust should be drafted to accomplish what I wanted. I was immediately struck by how knowledgeable Evan was about Trusts and Estate Planning, and after I left that first meeting, I knew he was someone I could trust to get the numerous documents drafted, to include a new medical directive and revocable trust. Jeannie Farr, his administrative assistant, was very professional, helpful, and kind, as I made subsequent appointments, and enabled me to speak with Evan as I was making decisions about the drafting and wording of my documents. Eventually, I was introduced to Justin Cohee, who is Evan's primary attorney that handles and helps to draft the documents for estate planning, trusts, and elder law matters. Justin is just like Evan, in that he is very knowledgeable, smart, and experienced in actually drafting my Revocable Trust and other documents for me to sign. I would say that Justin was easy and pleasant to work with, and he was very, very patient, as I made changes to the documents before I signed them. Finally, let me say, that the Evan Farr Law firm provides 2 free years of a card and service called DocuBank. This is an amazing addition to the estate planning documents, which is included in the overall charge for their legal services. Oh, I lest I forget, the nicest thing in dealing with Evan Farr and his team, is that the cost is a flat rate, and he is not nickel and diming his clients for their services, and any changes to the documents within one year are done without additional charges. Kudos to the Evan, Jeannie and Justin-they made what would or could have been a stressful experience, extremely pleasant. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family

Evan is an extraordinary and amazing attorney. I met him originally as a neighbor, but he has now handled several legal and personal matters for me, including all my Estate Planning documents and my Medicaid Asset Protection trust. I trust him completely and unconditionally and highly recommend him and his firm to everyone. Besides being a phenomenal attorney, he is also an extremely kind and compassionate person and friend. Evan has a huge heart and a brain to match!

I am an attorney that practices mainly in the area of Estates and Trusts in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. I enjoy the Farr Law Firm's blogs, finding them to be informative and interesting. Keep up the good work!

The information he has provided through e-mail messages has been extremely helpful. Thank you.

Very good and the firm is a good source of info on trusts and the emails identify many items one needs to be aware of when creating trust and being a care provider for loved ones.

We were recommended by a friend to visit Mr. Farr. Having an elderly parent, we did not know how to deal with all the financial issue of the estate. He advised us with expert advice and care. We are now completely through all the financial aspects and our mother is in a Nursing Facility. The entire staff at the firm has ALWAYS done an excellent job. They are always very professional and extremely caring and show genuine concern.

Our family, my Dad and my wife and I have worked with Evan Farr and his law firm to create our Living Trusts. His firm has provided us with outstanding service when we have needed it. Now that we are retired it is so nice to continue to have a law firm that understands and can handle our future requirements be they medical insurance, nursing home or trust issues. He and his staff are friendly and can provide trustworthy information. His firm is there when you need it.

I went to one of the firms free seminars and learned a lot about what plans should be made in the future.

I signed up for the emails that are sent out and have also continued to learn more about planning my retirement.

I recommend that all folks nearing retirement go to one of the free seminars and sign up for future emails.

I am in my early 80's, as is my wife, and we felt we needed to make some long term planning in case we had to face a possible nursing home stay that could be catastrophic financially and burdensome to our family members. We attended Evan's seminar that explained his Living Trust Plus which we immediately saw it as the tool to meet our goals. Evan's presentation was done in such a clear manner that it was easy to comprehend and relate it to our needs. We subsequently signed up for the Living Trust Plus which we highly recommend.

I'm a lawyer in Salem VA, the southwestern part of the state. Like Mr. Haley I met Evan through the Virginia chapter, National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (VAELA) and was immediately impressed with his comprehensive command of even the arcane aspects of Elder Law. Simply, he is one of the five best elder lawyers in Virginia. Evan was one of the lawyers who helped get VAELA started, served on the board of directors and a term as president.

Evan believes in education about the various aspects of Elder Law. His blog is an easy-to-read education for non-lawyers about the intricacies of planning for seniors and gives alerts about changes that affect all of us. Also he is great at peer assistance - if one of us has a question Evan is willing to share his experience and consult with us for particularly difficult cases.

I have learned from Evan and am pleased to have this opportunity to review his firm.

I have know Evan Farr for over ten years as we have served together on both the Board of the Virginia Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the Elder Law Council of the Virginia Bar Association. Simply put, Evan is one of the leaders of the elder law bar here in Virginia as well as nationally! He is a Certified Elder Law Attorney and a member of the Council of Advanced Practitioners of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, which demonstrates his commitment to the law and his clients. Fellow attorneys hold Evan in high esteem as he frequently lectures on elder law and has even created technological advances to help elder law attorneys in their practices.

I wholeheartedly endorse Evan and the fine work he does for seniors and their families.

I am a local attorney. Around here Evan Farr is known as the "guru" of elder law. He's nationally recognized and has contributed to the law in a lot of very innovative ways.

Evan's website has a ton of information and his staff is top notch. Give him a call if you are considering hiring an elder law attorney, or even just need some general advice.

Good luck!

“Evan and I meet at a conference we were both attending. He is one of the most caring and compassionate attorneys I've had the pleasure to connect with.

* If you need legal help with your elderly loved ones Evan is absolutely the attorney to contact.

* If you are an attorney with a small elder law practice and you want to expand it contact Evan and do it the right way. The way that supports you and your clients.”
