Founded in 1976 by Dan Farr, a local attorney practicing in the shadow of the Cascade foothills, the firm that would become Farr Law Group has served Enumclaw and the broader Washington State community for nearly five decades — a span that has seen it evolve from a general practice into one of the region’s most focused trusts and estates boutiques.
Overview
Farr Law Group, PLLC practices exclusively in trusts and estates — estate planning, trust and estate administration, and estate and trust litigation. The firm’s concentration is deliberate and total; no practice area outside of this domain appears on its docket. That focus allows its attorneys to develop depth in a technically demanding area of law that intersects tax, family dynamics, property, and judicial process.
The firm is headquartered in Enumclaw, Washington, a small city situated near the Cascade foothills southeast of Seattle. The attorneys describe their approach as offering big-city sophistication from a small-town location — a positioning that reflects both the credentials of the attorneys and the geographic character of their practice. Enumclaw’s proximity to major mountain recreation areas, combined with its relative quiet compared to the Seattle metropolitan core, defines the firm’s physical context.
When founder Dan Farr retired in 2011, the firm did not simply continue — it was reconstituted as Farr Law Group, PLLC, with Owen Gabrielson joining as partner alongside Megan Farr. That transition formalized both the firm’s name and its exclusive concentration on trusts and estates. The firm serves clients throughout Washington State, with its address on Stevenson Avenue and a mailing address on Cole Street reflecting dual operational points.
Practice Areas
Estate Planning. Farr Law Group drafts the instruments through which clients express their intentions for asset transfer, health care decisions, and personal care: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives. Because the firm practices exclusively in this domain, estate planning is not a sideline to a broader transactional practice — it is the core.
Trust and Estate Administration. When a trust or estate moves from planning to administration, the legal work shifts from document drafting to procedural compliance, asset inventory, creditor resolution, and distribution. The firm guides personal representatives and successor trustees through this process, which can be technically demanding even when families are cooperative.
Trust and Estate Litigation. Owen Gabrielson’s primary focus within the firm is contested matters — disputes over trust validity, will contests, undue influence claims, breach of fiduciary duty allegations, and related conflicts. The firm has the uncommon capability to handle both planning and the litigation that sometimes follows when planning goes wrong or when family disputes erupt.
Attorney Profiles
Megan S. Farr is the daughter of firm founder Dan Farr and joined the practice in 2003. She has deep institutional knowledge of the firm’s history and client base, and she teaches trusts and estates law to other attorneys — an activity that reflects both expertise and engagement with the broader legal community. She is admitted to practice in Washington State.
M. Owen Gabrielson brings an unusually robust academic and professional background to an Enumclaw trusts and estates practice. He holds a B.A. in Economics and an M.A. in Economics from the University of Washington (1998 and 2000, respectively) and earned his J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law in 2003. Before joining Farr Law Group, he served as a commercial litigator at Holland & Knight and then represented financial institutions at Graham & Dunn (now Miller Nash Graham & Dunn). He was named a Washington Super Lawyer every year from 2019 through 2025 and a Rising Star from 2008 through 2016. He is a Senior Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and a member of the Order of Veritas. He is a published author and has served as an annual speaker at King County Bar Association Probate Administration conferences from 2018 through 2024.

Client Focus
Farr Law Group serves individuals and families who need estate planning documents, guidance through the administration of a trust or estate after a death or incapacity, or representation in disputed estate and trust matters. Because the firm does not practice outside of trusts and estates, clients who come with family business succession questions, elder care planning, or related concerns are served within the context of that concentrated practice.
The firm’s geographic setting in Enumclaw means it serves a mix of long-established Washington residents, those with agricultural or rural property considerations, and clients who value a less urban practice environment while still requiring sophisticated estate planning. Owen Gabrielson’s national speaking and publication work brings additional depth to complex litigation matters.

Closing
Farr Law Group’s combination of multigenerational community ties, exclusive trusts and estates focus, and a litigation partner with large-firm training gives the firm a range that is uncommon for a practice of its size. Clients who need both careful planning and the capability to defend that planning in court have access to both under one roof.
