Having practiced law for over 50 years, been a federal judge for 30 years, and been a law professor for 30 years, there is little that I can add to previous reviews I have done of Evan Farr and the Farr Law Firm. Besides his expertise and professionalism, and that of his staff, there is little that I can add to my previous reviews. Evan Farr is simply the best, and the work he did for me could not have been better. I continue to recommend him to others who are facing this stage of their lives and need professional and caring elder law work. He is simply the best and his law firm is what I would expect of any leader.

Hired Attorney

My spouse and I wanted a professional, experienced and customer-focused law firm to help us develop practical plans to effectively manage our affairs as we age, at end of life and be a resource for subsequent trustee upon our transition. We are pleased we selected Farr Law Firm. After initial discussions with Evan, the weight of our anxiety about conveying and trusting someone with such an important and critical aspects of our life and death dissipated. Evan listened, understood our concerns and replied to our many questions with understanding and respect. We believe we have found a firm with integrity, consummate knowledge of elder law and estate planning, and a potent network of kindred professions to aid in addressing and solving any future needs we may have. We believe Farr Law firm will be here for the long term, has depth of legal talent and can provide practical counsel and recommendations and without even a hint of bureaucracy.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
