  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”.

  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 !

  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.

  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.

  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.

  There are very few email newsletters that I choose to receive weekly for more than a year. I continue subscribing to the newsletter from Farr Law Firm because it so often has information that helps me. Sometimes the help is for me or for one of my relatives. Sometimes it is for clients who contacted me about family mediation. The range of topics addressed and the quality of the information provided have been great.

  As a lawyer for over 50 years including 32 years as federal judge and now law professor in China, I have received the Evan Farr’s newsletter and referred the Farr Law Firm to many people. I have just recently met with Mr. Farr and retained him for my own estate planning and elder care advice. My experience has been excellent and he has truly validated all of my referrals to him.
