With a unique blend of financial acumen and unique legal skills, Timothy Jarvis serves as founder and driving force behind Jarvis Law Office, P.C. Timothy’s journey began as a financial advisor following his graduation from Ohio University, but a transformative personal experience—navigating his grandmother’s Alzheimer’s care—sparked his passion for elder law. He earned his Juris Doctorate from the Salmon P. Chase College of Law, channeling his dedication towards helping seniors and their families plan for the future. Since establishing Jarvis Law Office in 2003, Timothy has grown the firm to three offices and leads a team of over 35 professionals. He oversees all key facets of the business and is committed to delivering integrated, compassionate counsel in estate planning and long-term care. Timothy is guided by a philosophy of continuous learning and personal growth. Outside of his professional life, he finds balance in outdoor pursuits and values time with his three children. Timothy’s personal experience and client-first approach distinguish him as an empathetic, comprehensive advisor for those facing the complexities of elder law.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s always meaningful when someone who knows the value of estate planning firsthand chooses to take that next step for their own family. We’re so glad Tim was able to guide you both through the process with clarity and patience. Planning ahead—even before kids—is such a thoughtful gift to your future, and we’re honored to be part of that journey with you.
