FIRM HISTORY

Our firm was founded in 1915 by Jay H. Upton. In 1920, Mr. Upton was joined by Harvey DeArmond, the first District Attorney for Deschutes County. After serving two terms in the Oregon Legislature, Mr. DeArmond was elected the president of the Oregon State Bar (1939-1940), beginning a tradition of esteemed and distinguished firm alumni.

From 1939 to 1995, the firm changed its name six times to reflect its growing and changing staff. The names that have graced our doors over the years include Alva C. Goodrich, Alvin J. Gray, Jr., Bradley D. Fancher, James V. Hurley, William M. Holmes and a host of other recognized contributors to both the legal profession and the community.

Senator Neil R. Bryant, Robert S. Lovlien and Lynn F. Jarvis joined the firm between 1973 and 1978, became partners and watched their names become the firm's moniker in 1995 with its present-day designation, Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis.

Lynn Jarvis retired on December 31, 2007. Lynn was one of the first female lawyers in Central Oregon and forged the way for women in the legal profession.

Robert Lovlien retired on December 31, 2011. For more than 37 years, Bob represented Central Oregonians with great skill and professionalism. He was the preeminent land use attorney in the area and was involved in many developments built in Central Oregon, including Black Butte Ranch, Sunriver, River's Edge, Eagle Crest and Vandevert Ranch.

Neil Bryant retired on December 31, 2017. Neil was and is the consummate statesman, improving Oregon through tireless efforts and principled, sensible, consensus building.

Today, we at Bryant, Lovlien & Jarvis work hard to continue our history of providing excellent legal service through a dedicated, distinguished staff.
