Wonderful Lawyer

Our family would like to thank Bob Jarvis and the people that work for him. A family member got into trouble with the law and we were so afraid of the outcome, Bob assured us that he would do his best to make sure that it was a positive one. Today Bob called my husband with news that our family have ...been praying for everyday. Thank you God and thank you Bob.

Outstanding Service with Excellent Results!!

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing my experience was with Bob and his staff! His secretary was very nice, friendly and she explained everything where I could understand exactly what was going on, all over the phone. He is incredibly knowledgeable and did everything possible to accommod...ate me, and for that I am very pleased. They were very prompt in all correspondence and kept me informed every step of the way. From the first day I called until my case was over he made me feel very valued, respected and confident that he would get my situation resolved! His answers to all my questions were always clear, complete and he was very knowledgeable of my case. As busy as life can be, Bob made it very convenient for me to handle all of my affairs via email or phone! That's right, he was so flexible with me that I never had to step foot in his office! That didn't diminish the level of exceptional service he provided to me. I put a lot of trust and confidence in Bob and he delivered for me in a very timely manner with results that I will forever be greatful for! My experience with Bob Jarvis Law Firm was phenomenal, and I highly recommend him to anyone who need a criminal defense attorney to work hard for you when no one else will!! Thank you God, and Bob for all your hard work!

Best Around

Having never been in trouble with the law before we were informed by several people that Bob Jarvis was the man to see so we made an appointment. Not only did Mr. Jarvis show care and concern and listen to us but he gave us great advice and helped us feel safe and secure about our decision to get a L...awyer. His office staffs were kind and compassionate and helpful in reassuring us we would be taken care of. He went to work for us right away and cleared our troubles in two days. We have never heard of any Lawyer being able to work that fast but Bob Jarvis did. If you want a Lawyer who is going to make you feel comfortable and reassure you that you are going to make it through whatever it is, Bob Jarvis and his staff are who you want.

Best firm in the area

Bob and his firm defended me on a misdemeanor charge that should have never been. In the end all was dismissed, and to my surprise I got a refund check in the mail from them for funds not needed for my defense. If you need a good law firm to represent you, this is the one.

Worked hard to the very last day!

I was recently charged with a Class A misdemeanor in Grayson - Probation was not even an offer. Bob and his staff worked to get me the BEST deal they could right up to my plea date.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Bob brings more to the Courtroom than just his legal expertise (from his respected years as District Attorney; as well as his practice in Criminal Defense). Well known and well respected in his community, Bob has built a great sense of camaraderie with his peers, and is never hesitant to pass knowledge, insight, and guidance to newly licensed attorneys. He furthers that genuine passion by taking pride in being an annual keynote-speaker every year at a seminar for new attorneys, as well as seasoned veterans. When it comes to his clients, Bob has razor sharp skills as an advocate. I have stood by the sidelines for nearly 6 years watching Bob comfortably setting his clients' expectations while strategically determining one of three outcomes (which is carefully tailored to each case, and the particular allegations): Getting the best offer possible; successful jury trials; and/or getting the case dismissed. Bob is a lawyer that OTHER lawyers call for representation..."

Relationship: Co-worker

"While working for the District Attorney's Office in Grayson County, Bob's name came up often about how good he is. Then we had a case together and I saw the amazing skills he has as an attorney. When I left the DAs Office, there was only one lawyer that I wanted to work with, Bob Jarvis. Since working for him, I have seen how hard work, dedication to clients, and passion for helping people pays off for our clients. We have won many cases and I have learned more in the short time working with him then I could ever have imagined."

"Bob Is one of the hardest working, most thoroughly prepared lawyers I have met. He is creative and tenacious and will cover every aspect of each case to do everything he can within legal and ethical boundaries. No stone is left unturned.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
