Evan H. Farr is a Certified Elder Law Attorney focused on Elder Law, Estate Planning, and Medicaid Asset Protection. He founded the Farr Law Firm in 1991 and has spent nearly four decades helping families throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC plan for aging, incapacity, long-term care, and the preservation of what they’ve built.

He is one of fewer than 600 Certified Elder Law Attorneys in the country and a member of the NAELA Council of Advanced Practitioners, a distinction awarded by fellow elder law attorneys nationwide. Super Lawyers has named him among the top 5% of Elder Law and Estate Planning attorneys in Virginia every year since 2007, and Best Lawyers in America has listed him annually since 2013. He is the creator of the Living Trust Plus® Medicaid Asset Protection Trust and a four-time national best-selling author on elder law and asset protection.

Evan’s work goes beyond drafting documents. Early in his career he saw families with well-built estate plans still lose their savings to the cost of long-term care — plans that succeeded on paper but weren’t built to solve that problem. That realization led him to develop a broader, coordinated approach to planning that addresses incapacity, long-term care, and asset protection alongside traditional estate planning.

That same philosophy is why Evan holds a Series 65 license and maintains an affiliation with Avior Wealth Management. He believes a well-designed estate plan and a well-managed portfolio should work together, not in isolation, and he brings Avior in when clients need investment management, retirement income planning, or broader financial guidance alongside their legal plan.

Evan is frequently quoted by national outlets including U.S. News & World Report, the Associated Press, Kiplinger, Investopedia, and The Washington Post, and has taught continuing legal education programs to attorneys across the country. A native of Northern Virginia, he continues to practice with the same goal that’s guided his career since 1987: helping families protect their independence, their savings, and their legacy.
