no knowledge

I found Harry to be big talker. When we finally went to court for a Protective Order hearing he left out pertinent evidence and did not submit it to the judge. He hesitated at everything and even before going in we talked about the case. When we stepped into the court room he obviously forgot what we... just talked about in the hallway. Harry rushing to get out of there left my case with some doubt which could’ve easily been figured out had he presented the evidence. For someone supposedly practicing law for over 30 years not knowing the law about CPS should not represent Anyone in family court. It was pathetic.

"Best" Attorney I've hired to represent this single parent in "High Conflict/Safety concerns" circumstances!!

If you want someone who knows his way around the courtroom and will put the opposing party in their place, which will leave them completely and totally caught off guard by Harry's approach therefore leaving the opposing party left stumbling over their words/back stepping and getting caught in their o...wn lies on the stand....then Harry's your guy for representation!! Harry represented me a couple of times for the same High-conflict case involving my uoung child at the time. You tell him what you would like to see happen, he tells you how it's going to be so to speak. You work together to bring necessary specifics to light, he is thorough and doesn't back down and has his client's best interest at heart in the court room. He provides after hours communications if urgent matters arise!

Same sex divorce

Mr. Foster took my divorce case (the first same sex divorce in Indiana) without hesitation. I assured me that he would do whatever he could to get my divorce through the court system, and he did. I would highly recommend Mr. Foster for no nonsense and non biased assistance with any same sex legal i...ssues.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Public Reprimand issued in IN, 2004

updated on 08/30/2015

A reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Harry’s comment:

“I was representing a client in a contested divorce. Half way through the process, criminal charges were brought against my client for sexually abusing his daughter. My client's Mother thought I should have been able to prevent the criminal charges from being filed, and from them being served the way they were. She demanded a full refund of all the attorney fees, and I refused. She filed a grievance, and I had to refund a portion of what had been paid. He lost custody and went to prison.”
