Outstanding Experience

Ken Harris and the team have been a tremendous support system during my case. Always available, willing to listen and clear and concise in their explanations of status, timeline, risks and opportunities in my case. I can highly recommend Ken Harris for any family law case and specifically for difficu...lt and more complex situations.

Excellent Experience

Ken and his team have been terrific during my divorce journey. He is incredibly thorough and his knowledge and expertise made the overall experience easier than I anticipated. I highly recommend him and the firm.

Great attorney so far

Still in middle of separation/divorce process with Ken, but still, as a male accused by spouse for "financial abuse", meaning I paid all the bills & now she must pay her own bills to live rent-free in our home, after I was evicted. I was desperate for a male oriented attorney. Ken does not place ...gender or race or sexual orientation above the law and gives sound legal advice fully in support of his client. Highly recommend if you need a legal expert in your corner!

Great guy and great lawyer

Ken is a great guy and a great lawyer. He is very knowledgeable about the law, and the workings of the courtroom. He is also very responsive and easy to get in touch with. Ken works very hard to get the best outcomes. I'm happy I hired him.

Solid leagal direction

Thankfully I met Mr. Harris at the beginning of a divorce that turned out to evolve into a nightmare perpetrated by character assassination and lies. He guided and advised me to the best possible outcome within the law. There are no good outcomes for a guy under NC laws, but I believe Mr. Harris know...s how to navigate the judicial system to mitigate some damages. I would highly recommend Mr. Harris if anyone finds themselves in such an unfortunate situation.

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.
