Made a lasting impression on my Life

I was referred to Harris and Harris by an attorney that I knew . They took my felony charge and got it reduced to a misdemeanor. They also encouraged me to make better decisions moving forward. Keith and Kevin made a very positive influence on my life . I highly recommend Harris and Harris . If y...ou want the best call Harris and Harris !

BEST Criminal Attorney in Texas

There is not enough space here to adequately provide an appropriate review. Where do I start? Kevin Harris is an outstanding criminal attorney. He and his brother have been voted D Magazine's BEST of attorneys in Dallas and that is an understatement. My child was accused of a false and erroneous f...elony. Kevin provided honest, focused, dedicated, and a thorough defense. He accompanied my child to the police station to speak to detectives, reviewed hours and hours of evidence, planned and executed a flawless defense. Beyond that, Kevin's faith is evident in all he does. He truly understands the importance of prayer and operates at the highest level of ethics, honesty and integrity- even when he has to deliver difficult information or recommendations etc. He always acted in the best interest of my child and in the end, the right verdict was received- NOT GUILTY! We will FOREVER be grateful. If you are EVER in need of criminal representation- you need to hire Harris & Harris. The investment is worth EVERY penny. I hope we never need legal representation again, but heaven-forbid we do... the ONLY call I am making is to Harris & Harris. I recommend Harris & Harris Law Firm without ANY reservations. We are forever in debt.

Best lawyer in Dallas

Kevin Harris and Keith Harris came highly recommended to me for a serious felony issue. From day one they both treated me with the care and respect you would imagine they would for a family member. Both gentlemen met with me on short notice on a Sunday night and proceeded to represent me from then... on. During the following months, I always had their undivided attention and immediate access to them during anytime of need. Having representation from the Harris and Harris law firm is truly like hiring one lawyer but having double the expertise and attention. They cared about me as a person and not just a case number. I fully trusted and had confidence in them through out the ordeal and they did not let me down. The case was no billed. I would never want to ever need a lawyer again for me or any loved ones, but if there was ever a need for lawyers I would always turn to or recommend the Harris and Harris law firm.
