Bob Jarvis, the former elected Grayson County District Attorney, has been in private practice for 15 years, concentrating primarily on criminal defense and family law. He graduated from Baylor University in 1982 and from Baylor Law School in 1984. After graduation, he was hired by legendary Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade. Jarvis rose through the ranks was promoted to felony prosecutor in just over a year. During the following 12 months, Jarvis tried 23 felony jury trials resulting in 100% guilty verdicts.
In 1987, Bob Jarvis was elected Grayson County District Attorney, an office he held for 12 years. As the youngest district attorney ever elected in Grayson County, Jarvis personally tried 42 cases before juries for offenses including murder, capital murder, and child abuse, again with a 100% conviction rate. During his tenure as district attorney, Jarvis implemented many innovative programs that improved the procedures used in prosecuting family violence, sex crimes and child abuse cases throughout the state of Texas.
Bob has represented clients for a variety of offenses, both at the State and Federal level. He is licensed to practice in the Eastern District and the Northern District representing clients in federal cases. He has represented criminal defense clients in Grayson, Fannin, Cook, Collin, Dallas and Tarrant counties with great success. Bob's success is largely attributable to his experience as both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer and his intense preparation for each and every case he takes on. Give him a call and let him go to work.

False Assault Charges
Several years ago, a family member was falsely accused of assault. We were devastated that anyone in the family would be falsely accused, after living our whole lives honorably. We never expected to need a criminal defense attorney. Bob Jarvis took the case and he proved to the jury that it was a ...

"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..."
"Bob is a highly energetic and incredibly tenacious attorney. He and his staff run an incredibly efficient practice. Bob is as experienced as any attorney in North Texas. I known Bob for a long time. I trust him and I particularly trust his heart."
"Bob is one of the most prepared attorney's I have ever met. With his vast experience behind him and his willingness to work hard for his clients he will get the best outcomes."
"I strongly endorse Bob Jarvis. Bob is a skilled trial attorney. He is always the most prepared attorney in the courtroom. He is a tenacious advocate and fights tirelessly for the rights of his clients."
"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. He is honest and compassionate with his clients. 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!"
