John Jarvis is not only a wonderful lawyer, but a wonderful person. I have used his legal help more than once and he has never let me down. He truly cared about me and and what would be best for my situation and that really meant a lot. He did outstanding work for me and the outcome of my situation couldn’t be better. I will always recommend John to anyone that needs legal help, and I know who to go to if I am ever in need again myself! Thank you JJ!!

Mr. Jarvis met with me on extremely short notice for a consultation and began working for me immediately. He was generous with his pricing despite my situation (amount of work required of him) being somewhat uncertain. Mr. Jarvis was a calming force as we worked through my investigation. His professionalism when dealing with authorities allowed him to guide me through the investigation with no charges or arrests made.

After meeting with a few lawyers, I met with Mr.Jarvis. Right away I liked him more than the others. His character shined through and his concern for my case. Throughout, him and his team were dedicated to my case. They were quick to respond, reassuring, explained everything clearly, and worked hard on my case. I in turn slept better with them on my case and the outcome of the case was in my favor. Fantastic team and very well rounded lawyer!

Mr.Jarvis to put it in a nut shell is an AMAZING lawyer. He was very kind and helpful with every aspect of my case. If I had to chose another lawyer again it would be John Jarvis. I recommend John 1st over any other lawyer you may review on this site.:)

I contacted and hired John Jarvis after being charged with a second DUI in 2 years. The potential consequences were severe, and I felt hopeless. John was able to guide me through the process and got the DUI revised to reckless driving, which was a great result. I’ve heard a quote, ‘hire a lawyer and ride the pine’ and that was what I was able to do. John continues to follow-up on potential additional charges. I’m currently on probation and in the system so to speak, but it’s a relief having John’s representation. I live a couple counties away from Santa Rosa County and needed a local attorney. I found John’s profile and was drawn to his drug court, dui and criminal defense experience. While I wasn’t raised having run-ins with the law, I have had my fair share lately. I am grateful for the outcomes and lessons learned thus far and am confident in the process going forward.

John Jarvis provided excellent representation and presented all the facts surrounding my first DUI to the prosecuting attorney and was able to reduce the DUI to a Reckless Driving charge. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

When the insurance company failed to pay my medical bills, John Jarvis was able to persuade them to pay all of the bills as well as additional pain and suffering without having to go to court. John's ability to listen to his clients and solve complex legal issues is excellent. I highly recommend him and his firm, Gibson and Jarvis.

John Jarvis helped me with a personal injury case. He is thorough, does what he says he will do, cares about his clients, and is knowledgeable. Throughout the case he remained available, confident, and helpful. He is a man of abiding principles. He and his staff are excellent. I can't say enough good things about this good man, and how he stayed the course throughout the process.
