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!
We are so happy with all of the documents your firm prepared. We are very grateful to you for your help getting our affairs in order. I reviewed them carefully and they were excellent. Please use us as a reference to anyone who might want to check your service. I will tell them how warm and efficient you and your associates were. I am sleeping so much better now and have referred you to a friend. I hope he & his wife will contact you soon. My best wishes to Evan, Jeannie, Justin, the kitties & bunny & everyone else at the firm. Your grateful clients, Sue and Stephen
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.
