Honest Attorney

A couple years ago I had called Mr. Jarvis for some advice on a legal matter. Not only was he helpful he really took the time to lay out all my options. I felt extremely comfortable with him. He's truely great at what he does and I never felt he didn't have my best interest at heart. I've referre...d multiple people to him and everyone has felt exactly the same. Thx for being one of the good guys!

A Great Man, Lawyer and Veteran

Chip has represented us several times. He has been my husbands attorney for a long time. He was on point, professional, and plays hardball for his clients. He is very straight up and has never failed to tell us how it could go or what to expect in family law cases. He is a true asset to Collin County... and its citizens. He has won case after case for my husband and we wouldn't use anyone else. He has truly helped our blended family become one. If you have time, I would suggest you sit in on a case he is working. You will be amazed how his words and technique can give you pure hope. Mrs. Venegoni

Excellent Attorney

Chip is an excellent attorney. He was my anchor in the most trying time in my life. I recommend him to everyone needing family law attorney. When I was served with papers to change primary custody of my children, Chip was the one attorney who listened to the whole story and told me the exact le...gal rules regarding my case. Several other attorneys told me they wouldn’t even touch my case without a very large retainer upfront. Chip stayed in touch with me throughout the process and I maintained custody! For this, I am forever grateful.

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney!

Chip was very nice and understanding from the first meeting we had with him. He listened and make sure we understood the adoption process, and was very upfront with us when need be. In my opinion, what made Chip stand out from others attorneys is that he was easy accessible. If I called, he usually a...nswered or he would call me back within a timely matter. Chip was an overall great attorney and person, he made us feel as though we were not just "another case" to him but that we really mattered and that our wellbeing as a family was his upmost priority. I can not say enough wonderful things!!

Child support matter

Mr. Jarvis represented my wife on a child support reduction case.We had little to no hope. Mr.Jarvis was was very up front and honest from day 1. He had to transfer the case from Denton County to Collin County with no flaws. At the final hearing he represented so well the reduction wound up being les...s then half of what was expected. He is the best Family law attorney I have ever seen. I have been in Law enforcement for 15 years.
