Posted by Richard Doyle | September 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Very professional, competent and compassionate,

Mr. Harrison was my lawyer 20 years ago when I went through my first divorce. At that time I found him to be very professional and fair. Twenty years later he was recommended to me for my daughter during the custody hearing over her son. He proved once again this past summer to be very knowledgeab...le and effective on my daughter's behalf. He definitely knows what he is doing. His demeanor and court presence was effective without being overly aggressive.

Client

Dave has been my attorney for 15 years. His consultation was in depth and provided me with the knowledge that he was highly qualified to fight for my rights as a parent. He has stood beside me during court and made me feel extremely supported. He makes the times between arbitrations to check on the k...ids and I. During litigation and consultations he takes the time to explain legal processes and terms so I can make the best decisions I am able. Dave makes me feel like I can call him anytime with a child custody issue and if he is busy, he always gets back to me as soon as he can, even after regular business hours (because parenting is not a 9-5 job and he understands this)! I know my kids and I get the best representation we can with Dave.
