Elder Law 20%

To me, the field of Elder Care is all about helping people. Making a positive difference in seniors’ lives, and the lives of their families. All so that they may live their golden years with dignity, vigor, and the comfort of knowing that while they’re here, they won’t be a burden… and so that long after they’re gone, their loved ones will be taken care of. With proper planning, a senior’s needs can be met so they may lead a dignified life, even after age and illness begin to take their toll.

Estate Planning 20%

Estate Planning is more than just saving estate taxes. Proper planning with a skilled, experienced, and approachable attorney can enable you to: Have all your options laid out for you – in plain English, control your property while you are alive and able, take care of yourself and your loved ones if you become disabled, give what you have to whom you want, the way you want, and when you want – without unexpected interference from the government... all while saving every dollar possible.

Excellent firm

Great firm for all of your estate planning. I was very impressed! The attorney I met with was very thorough and knowledgeable on all the products they had to offer.

Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad to hear you had a positive experience and felt confident in the information and options we provided. Our team takes pride in making sure every detail is covered, and it’s wonderful to know that came through during your visit.

Highly Recommend!

My husband and I met with Tim to put a Trust in place to make sure our home and savings didn't go through probate and specifying who would get what since we don't have kids yet. I have worked for Tim for many years so I understand the benefit of estate planning, but being on the other side of the tab...le was different than I expected! He helped guide us through the process (and was very patient in explaining everything to my husband who doesn't have any experience with this type of stuff).

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.

Good job.

He was knowledgeable and helpful. We really had a lot of questions, and he answered each one. Keep up the good work.

Setting up our trust

Would like to recommend Jarvis Law Offices if you are considering setting up a trust or would just like to explore your options. We are quite happy with the way they helped us. They thoroughly explained how trusts work, did way more of the actual legwork necessary to set it up and fund it then I ex...pected. (I thought I would be running all over and making multiple phone calls.) Not the case. They also answered all our questions and some I didn't know I had!

Meeting Elders planning needs

The attorneys were very thorough in evaluating the needs of our family and arrived at a plan that covered and protected our assets. The plan will also carry out desire in the distribution of our assets.
