Best representation in Dallas

I hired both Keith Harris and Kevin Harris for a felony issue. I was represented by the Harris and Harris Law Firm. Both of them treated me the the respect and care they would for any of their family members. I met with them the first time on a Sunday night and they were very understanding, compassio...nate and thorough. They are very knowledgeable of the entire process (they were district attorneys prior). I was able to get a hold of either Keith or Kevin at anytime if I had any questions, concerns or issues. At the end they resolved my issue timely and to my utmost satisfaction. I highly recommend the Harris and Harris Law Firm for any legal representation.

Definition of a life saver!

I found myself in a very unfortunate situation with an estranged ex; Keith worked around the clock to prove my innocence in what would've been over a decade of prison time. If it wasn't for Mr. Harris I would have had lost more than just my freedom, he made sure to represent me to the fullest & keep ...me up to date with any/all information regarding the case. I call Keith regularly to thank him for his work, after consultations with 3 different attorneys I am very happy with choosing Keith Harris. I chose Mr Harris because of his humbleness, intelligence & prior work as a Prosecutor. This guy knows the judicial systems tactics & methods and will fight around the clock to help better your situation. - TK (Ft Worth, TX)

Wonderful Representation

Keith was such a blessing to us. He reassured us and kept us informed throughout the process. He is very knowledgable and very compassionate. His updates and overall communication were excellent and made the process bearable. His working knowledge of the Dallas DA officae and the local judges was ver...y helpful and comforting. I hope we never need Keith again, but if we ever do he will be the only lawyer we call.
