Outstanding service!!

I contacted Mr. Jarvis for a non-disclosure. Lisa was the paralegal that helped through every step. Before they asked or payment, they diligently contacted the county to make sure I was eligible. After I paid I was told the court date was April 22nd. Today is March 24th and the courts have already ap...proved the non-disclosure. I did not have to appear to court. I did not have to meet with anyone. Lisa kept me updated through email every step of the way. I highly recommend their services.

Gave me a Second Chance at Life!

When people make mistakes in life, they can lose everything. When I made mistakes, I was facing this reality. I lost my job, financial security and friends. I found a friend surprisingly in a lawyer and his team. You hear so many stories about how lawyers are only out for money but Bob Jarvis... became an ally for me and my family. He became a friend for life for me and my family. He saved me from being away from my kids for a long time, and instead helped maintain a future with them. I got a new job during my case and he even met with my employers to make sure things would be good for me. He took time out of his schedule when I needed him, not just what fit his schedule. His staff was amazing as well! They always answered question that seemed annoying im sure, but the never once made me feel like my life problems or questions bothered them. They were there for me. To this day I will still get a how ya doing...hope all is well from Bob. What a great lawyer and ally to have on your side, but even more important, a great man! Thanks Bob and his team for caring enough about me and my family.

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..."

"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."

His experience and reputation as the former elected Grayson County District Attorney is truly an asset and when he walks into a courtroom, the dynamics change - Everyone knows Bob is there, willing, prepared and ready to fight for his client!"

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.
