Jarvis Okamura
Associate
Jarvis takes the first-home buyers and the family sellers, and the contract questions that arrive the night before a deadline.
He joined the firm after law school and a summer spent reading deeds at a county recorder's office, which taught him how much sits behind a single page of a closing.
He is the lawyer people write to at 9 p.m. with a photo of a clause, and he answers in words that do not need a dictionary.

What Jarvis tells a first-time buyer on day one
Nothing in the contract is too small to ask about. If a date, a fee or a phrase puzzles you, send it, and he will tell you what it does.
He also tells buyers what is normal, so they can tell the difference between a routine request and a problem.
