About Elaine
Elaine Jarvis earned a J.D. from the College of William and Mary in 1997, where she studied business and business law. She in advance finished a B.A. in history on the University of Maryland, College Park in 1994. Those academic years set the inspiration for a practice that ranges from title work to litigation in Virginia federal courts.
She began her expert legal work in public interest settings and moved into roles that mixed transactional and legal proceedings duties. In 2019 she joined Blue Ridge Legal Services as a staff lawyer, dealing with matters that often concerned clients with limited assets. That position uncovered her to a wide docket and to problems that intersect civil law and community needs.
Since 2022 she has served as the managing member of Jarvis Law PLLC. The firm address lists Jarvis Law PLLC as her practice workplace. Her work consists of title examination and settlement offerings along representation in state and federal things. She is admitted to practice in Virginia and holds membership in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia.
Jarvis holds several Virginia Land Title Association certifications: Virginia Certified Title Examiner, Virginia Certified Title Settlement Agent, and Virginia Certified Title Insurance. Those credentials mirror an ongoing involvement in actual estate title work and the procedural facts that accompany closing and underwriting. Her trial experience in federal district and bankruptcy courts complements that title practice when disputes require legal proceedings.
Outside of the office she has maintained a steady presence in nearby nonprofit governance. She joined the board of Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity in 2020 and remains lively there. From 2015 till 2021 she served as president of Strays Welcome Interfaith Ministry. She also served as secretary and board member for ROTH (Roof Over Their Heads) of Front Royal from 2016 to 2020, and as secretary of Warren County Habitat for Humanity from 2018 to 2019. Those roles mirror years of labor on housing and shelter issues in her community.
Colleagues describe Jarvis as methodical in title things and pragmatic in legal proceedings settings. She balances administrative oversight at Jarvis Law PLLC with hands-on case work. Her practice presently concentrates on title exam, title resolution services, and associated litigation in Virginia and in the Western District federal courts.
