Great Experience During Difficult Time

I had been separated from my husband of 27 years for the past year. My ex had insisted that we could settle on our own since we didn’t share any assets. However, I wanted to make sure I was being protected and had reached out to a few attorneys for initial consultations including Harris Divorce and ...Family Law. Then to my surprise I got served! I retained Allen Harris and he immediately made this difficult process bearable. He and Kera were very responsive and professional. They are completely transparent on their fees and are reasonable. I am so glad I had Allen’s representation, he made sure we followed GA law and that my alimony was fair.

A Top Notch Divorce and Family Law Attorney

I am an attorney who hired Allen to represent me in my divorce. Allen is a very conscientious attorney who holds his clients' interests paramount to all others. I have referred many friends and clients to Allen for sound advice involving separation, divorce, custody, modifications and appeals of issu...es arising out of those matters. Based on my own personal experience with Allen, I will not hesitate in referring other client and friends to Allen in the future.

Post Nup

Allen Harris is an absolute joy to work with. I needed to have my post-nup done immediately and he was fully on top of all the details from the very first minute of our phone call. He constantly kept me informed and made me feel comfortable while discussing my documents. I was especially impressed by... his quick responses. He never left me wondering when I would get a phone call or schedule a meeting. Everything was communicated amazingly. I especially loved how he met all of my requests and even stepped aside to check up on me to make sure I was being taken care of appropriately. He always made me feel like I was his main concern and I had all of his attention. He also offers great advise for legal matters for your future. The office is such a professional and comfortable atmosphere that I really enjoyed my time there. His partner Jim Peterson was able to answer my questions when Allen was in court and the secretary Angela is equally as informative. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would definitely recommend Allen Harris to anyone who needs a great lawyer.

Professional and efficient

I could not have asked for any better lawyer than Allen to handle my divorce case. He listened, provided professional advise, was very responsive so this case was handled very smooth and with a satisfactory outcome for me. Surely recommend Allen.

Outstanding Lawyer

I was so pleased with Allen Harris's services. I had a horrible experience with another attorney before I retained Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris provided accurate information while the previous attorney provided inaccurate information. He was responsive and kept me informed of all updates. He gave me op...tions to consider that helped me significantly when I had to make some hard decisions. My outcome was successful, and I was pleased overall. I would hire Attorney Allen Harris again if I ever needed another attorney, especially with family law matters. After hiring a poor attorney in the beginning and then hiring an outstanding attorney later, Mr. Allen Harris, the differences in service, knowledge and being trustworthy was clearly apparent to me in all interactions.

"Allen Harris and I worked together recently on an emotionally charged divorce. We convinced our clients to attend a settlement conference and resolved all outstanding issues in long but productive settlement conference. Our collaborative efforts brought resolution to case that I believe could have taken months to resolve. Allen is a smart and compassionate lawyer who possesses great legal skill but above that is a lawyer who is willing to listen to reason. I highly endorse Allen Harris."

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.
