"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 out here ten years ago, we hired the Farr Law Firm on a life time retainer to take care of us.

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 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, Karen Simpson, the paralegal 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."

"After speaking with several attorneys in the Lynchburg / Roanoke Virginia area who advertised themselves as Elder law planning 'specialists' I was advised there was no way to recover approximately $120,000 advanced via loans over several years for the care of my Grandmother. I was advised the local Social Services Department was extremely difficult to work with and did not always follow guidelines. I was advised recovery of funds via sale of my Grandmother’s home was unlikely if not impossible.
 
After doing research via Internet I learned any attorney could claim expertise in Elder Law, however a Certified Elder Law Attorney was most qualified.  I came across Evan Farr’s website. I researched the Virginia Bar and other websites to determine if there were any complaints. I found none. My first call to Farr’s firm was handled professionally and an initial consultation via telephone was set up. I was certain my Grandmother would be denied benefits given the situation and appeal would be required. Mr. Farr’s staff was meticulous in requiring documentation to support my Grandmothers eligibility. My Grandparents were blue collar factory workers who spent their lives in a small town in central / southwest Virginia . . . Hoping a law firm from Northern Virginia and expertise in Virginia Medicaid eligibility issues would balance the scales I decided to employ Mr. Farr on behalf of my Grandmother. At the end of the story my Grandmother’s application was approved without need for appeal process."

"April Blum made the signing service as pleasant an experience as possible given the nature of the documents and explained everything thoroughly and patiently to our elderly parents. She obviously is very experienced, knowledgeable, and possesses the ideal temperament for her position."

"I wanted you to know that my mother died April 12.  She was 97 and we buried her in her home town in a family site within the cemetary.  Her body now lies next to my father and with her three brothers, a sister, and both of her parents.  Her soul is with them in a beautiful place.   Her journey was long and she was loved all the way.  I will miss her. 

I want to thank the Farr Law firm for all the assistance you have provided to me and my mother.  I especially want to thank Karen Simpson for her professionalism and knowledgeable dealings with this matter, and also for her caring and compassion.  I do not know how some people can go through the Medicaid process on their own."

     -- Dave Dorward (Sterling, VA)
 

"We came to the Farr Law Firm fearful that our parents' lack of financial planning was going to hurt them now that they were so vulnerable.  With calm reassurance, Mr. Farr and company provided the guidance that allowed us to navigate the medical, legal and financial shoals that had imperiled our parents' sunset years.  The future they had feared has now turned into a joyous time that they share with their new grand-daughter.  For that, we are grateful to the Farr Law Firm.  Thank you."

     -- Lawrence Rocke (Chicago, IL)


"We hired Evan Farr to create our entire set of estate documents.  I would work with him again and can recommend him without reservation."

Meet one of our many satisfied clients: W.T. came to us at the Farr Law Firm as a concerned and loving husband.  His wife had recently suffered a stroke and was in a nursing home facility.  On top of that, W.T. had recently made the transition from his home to a retirement community.  In his words, "it was a nightmare scenario." Faced with the sudden illness of his wife, W.T. wondered whether Medicaid was an option to protect his hard-earned nest-egg and assets; understandably, he did not want his lifetime earnings to be swallowed up in a short period of time by medical costs.  The Farr Firm helped W.T. plan his estate, and assisted him in qualifying his wife for Medicaid.

On his overall experience with the Farr Firm: "[Dealing with the Farr Firm] was a great experience!"

On the way he was treated by Farr Law Firm staff: "Mr. Farr and his colleagues were courteous and cooperative . . . they were all excellent.  They went out of their way to find me the resources I was looking for."

On what it meant for him to have a protection plan in place: "My pension was not enough to cover my wife's nursing home expenses. If it weren't for the Medicaid [that the Farr Firm helped me qualify for] I don't know what would have happened."

On his wife's stroke and the ensuing stress: "It was a nightmare scenario . . . Evan's staff helped to make my life livable."
