About

I have been awarded the highest rating of "AV Preeminent Attorney" since 2012 and “AV Preeminent, Judicial Edition” by Martindale-Hubble. I have received recognition as “America’s Most Honored Professionals – Top 1%” by Martindale Hubble. Since 2016, I have been included in Arizona Republic’s Arizona's Top Rated Lawyers - Criminal law. I am included in the American Society of Legal Advocates 2016 top 100 Lawyers - Criminal Defense. I have been invited to join the Top 100 Criminal Defense Trial Lawyers 2015. Awarded in 2020, "Top 10 Attorney Award for the State of Arizona" by National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys.In 1991, I became a member of the Arizona State Bar.  In 1992, I joined the Phoenix City Prosecutor's Office where I handled a variety of cases involving appeals, mental competency, forfeitures, neighborhood maintenance and zoning, commercial vehicles, construction contracting, civil traffic offenses, and criminal offenses.  The criminal offenses included all types of misdemeanors such as domestic violence crimes, vice crimes, public offenses, and DUI.  I also lectured at a prosecutor's seminar regarding mental health and competency to stand trial. In 1996, I left the prosecutor's office to become an associate in a local criminal defense firm.  In courts across the state, I represented individuals and businesses accused of diverse misdemeanors and felonies.  My practice included various civil matters as well.In early 2000, I left that firm with the intent to establish my own law firm.  I ended up as an associate with an large law firm in Mesa and set up its criminal defense practice.  In December of 2000, I left and started the law firm of Robert P. Jarvis, P.C. located in Mesa, now known as the Law Office of Robert P. Jarvis.I continued my representation in criminal defense and other related areas of law, successfully defending persons accused of felonies and misdemeanors throughout Arizona in cases including murder, sex crimes, assault, drugs, gangs, DUI, extortion, theft, weapons, zoning, traffic violations, forfeitures, zoning, construction, and trucking. My practice expanded to include contract, business, and administrative law.  Through the Legal Defense Fund and police associations, I represent law enforcement personnel involved in shootings and investigated for or accused of misconduct and criminal acts.Over the years and all over the State I have conducted hundreds of hearings, bench trials, and jury trials in the justice courts, the municipal courts, and superior courts, both adult and juvenile.  I have handled cases on appeal to the Superior Court, Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court of Arizona, as well as arguing a case in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have become familiar with and learned to apply the statues, case law, rules of criminal and civil procedure, and rules of evidence.I represent children, juveniles, and adults. Many case have involved mental illness and associated medications.I have served on the bench as a substitute for judges of the Maricopa County justice courts and was appointed in 2016 to serve as such in the Pinal County justice courts and the Apache Junction Municipal Court. I have judged civil cases, landlord/tenant cases, and criminal cases, sitting on bench and jury trials.I am a member of the Arizona State Bar, a Life-time member of Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice, and a member of the East Valley Bar Association, serving as its President 2003-2004 and continuing on its board.After graduating in the top 10 from Westwood High School in 1982, I attended Brigham Young University, graduating cum laude in 1988.  I began my legal training at the Arizona State University School of Law in 1988, graduating in 1991.I grew up in Mesa and have enjoyed serving my community. I have had the opportunity to serve my community through family, church, and school.  My children's sports activities provided opportunities to coach soccer, softball, baseball, and basketball over 16 years.  I have served in the Boy Scouts of America as an Eleven Year Old Scout Leader, Assistant Scout Master, Varsity Coach, Assistant Crew Advisor, Crew Advisor, and Charter Organization Representative.  School sports and activities have allowed numerous opportunities to serve.  For my Alma Mater, Westwood High School, I served for two years as an attorney coach for its Mock Trial Team.

Mr. Jarvis is one of the most ethical lawyers I've ever worked with, and I would definitely call upon him again if the situation requires it.

I used Garrett Smith at the office. Garrett listened to my concerns, kept me updated throughout this process. He was able to get my case dismissed. The office staff is professional as well. I wouldnt go to any other attorney.

Real pleasure to work with. I concider him a friend. He took all the pressure off my shoulders and he listened to my problem and the two of us came up with a plan to proceed. The problem resolved it self. The simple strategy worked. Thank you. Bill

Mr. Jarvis made me feel comfortable with a criminal matter I had no clue with how to handle. He explained to me very simply what it was and how to handle it. All my phone calls, text messages, email's.... were answered very quickly. The whole matter was taken care of quick and painless. I'm glad I got in touch with Mr. Jarvis. I highly recommend him.

Words cannot express how positive my experience with Mr. Robert Jarvis was. I had never been faced with an unfortunate situation where I had to hire a lawyer. Unfortunately, my situation lasted about three years, and Robert and his assistant were there for me the entire time. Despite his busy schedule, he ALWAYS made time for me and my questions and concerns (and I had plenty)! He put me at ease each time I was going "off the deep end." He believed in me and fought for me every step of the way! He is fair and truly cares about the individual and not just the case. Luckily, my case ended in a dismissal and it was DEFINITELY because of Mr. Jarvis!

Dear Mr. Jarvis, I can't find words to express my thankfulness, gratitude and appreciation for all you have been done for me and for my little son; for all your huge efforts and dedication for my case!! I could never thought that somebody can stay by my side during this process, it was very stressful matter, first that of all that there were a possibility that I could be charged and guilty and then lost my baby for ever. You gave the opportunity to my son to have his mom around and have a happy future. You gave inspiration and inner power to me to continue to fight for our rights and I know we can have a good future here in USA together with my baby. It is really hard to make somebody who doesn't know you believe that you an innocent but you still put all your efforts in clearing my name. I am grateful to you that you took all stress and restored everything out for me. Thank you for your professionalism, knowledge and faith!! I wish you great clients and more and more win cases!! Thank you so much!! Sincerely, Olena Walden

I used Robert Jarvis for a DUI case. Mr. Jarvis handled my case for me and went to all court appearances. Mr. Jarvis took the stress out of my case as much as he could and was accessible for all my calls and questions. My case was unusual and extended over a year. Mr. Jarvis handled my case the entire time. Once we went to court he was extremely prepared and I was found not guilty and even the traffic ticket was dismissed by the judge. My driving record is now clean. I would highly recommend using Mr. Jarvis. His fees were also very reasonable.

Mr. Jarvis and his team work very hard to exhaust every option to build the strongest defense possible. He listened to my personal preferences and kept me informed throughout the entire legal process. He is experienced and knows the best way to attack a case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a strong criminal defense in Arizona.

I am very grateful to Mr. Jarvis and his team. They were very helpful, patient, and willing to work with me. Mr. Jarvis was great with his initial consultation for my legal needs, and his legal assistant was "A1" with whatever questions I had and making me as comfortable as could be with this process, and Mr. Garner was great at representing me. There is much more that could be input here, but the bottom line is this is a great firm, if you need to be represented. They accomplished their goal for my case, and they make you feel important and not as if they're here only for the money. A Real stand up firm!!!
