Outstanding Experience

Dealing with custody, divorce, separation and all the in-between is an absolute nightmare if you don't have the right attorney in your corner. I can say my experience with Ken Harris was nothing short of amazing. Ken is a great listener and had a meticulous attention to detail while working on my cas...e. I felt like I was his only client, he was always willing to make himself available and handle my concerns with a professionalism that should be the standard for legal counsel. His advice is honest, straightforward, and always guided with a dignified resolution in mind. I know I can be a handful to deal with as a client sometimes, Ken was able to provide peace and confidence through some of the toughest months of my life. Ken started as my attorney and became a trusted friend. If you're reading reviews for lawyers for family law, you're likely exactly where I was several months ago, stop looking, your search is over. Call Ken and his team, they will guide you through this.

Professional

I recently used Mr. Harris to draft a prenuptial agreement for me. He was referred to me from another attorney and I could not be happier with his work and professionalism. Even though we handled the entire process by phone and email ( my request) I felt like I was sitting across the desk from a trus...ted advisor; who he now is . First rate attorney and first rate person.

COVID19 Divorce

I used Ken Harris for my absolute divorce during COVID19. He handled the entire complicated procedure with professionalism and grace. My case was kept in a forward motion and I experienced little if any delays, and those were due to the extreme changes for COVID19. I would highly recommend him to ...my family and friends. If I ever need legal services in the future I plan to use this team.

Excellent Experience

Ken was very thorough handling my custody modification case. Throughout the entire process, Ken was extremely competent and provided me with first-class legal counsel.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
