Posted by anonymous | April 07, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Very Grateful to Kevin Harris!

I was charged with a dwi in Feb 2014. I hired a different well known attorney who had represented me on a previous dwi 10 years before. After a year and several court postponements I was getting frustrated with his results. I had been on interlock for over a year and already knew I was facing punis...hment but it didn't seem to be moving forward. During this time a friend called and told me how pleased he was with Kevin's results defending his dwi. So after going to court and my case being postponed again I called Kevin and asked for a consultation. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He was completely honest with me that his outcome may be no different than my other attorney but he promised to get it moving forward and work hard on my behalf. I hired him immediately. Kevin's approach was to be proactive. He soon had an offer for me from the court. With that he developed a game plan that would prove to be looked upon favorably by the judge. For example, Kevin had me start on my probation conditions before going to court. Having a lot of this completed helped reduce the status of my probation and I was able to quit using interlock a lot sooner than expected. I was skeptical about changing my attorney but am very pleased with the outcome. I only wish I would have known of Kevin and hired him from the start. His fee was more than fair. I appreciated his commitment to getting me the best results possible.

My story

I was referred to Kevin Harris from another well known attorney . I was told that Kevin is your guy. From just our first meeting I could tell that I was in good hands . He was very professional ,caring and knowledgeable of the situation . ( felony probation, violation ,new charges ). Big time st...uff. Hiring Harris&Harris Law Group changed my life. Kevin Harris was a miricle worker for me and my family . If u need an attorney you owe it to yourself to stop in and talk to him . Let him make miracles happen for you . I can't thank Harris&Harris Law Group enough for what you have done for me and for everything u do. James

Kevin from the beginning of all this, was willing to work with me to help my son get out of the mess he got into. He is not only compassionate, but he strived to get the best he could for my son. He constantly checked in with my son, and would take any calls regarding questions my son or myself had.... I have never had anyone show so much concern to make sure my son completed the program he was able to assist my son with as he showed. He even showed up and drove to my sons last hearing which showed the kind of attorney he is, and didn't even ask for additional money to do this. He is expensive but well worth the cost for the best representation. I would highly recommend anyone to Kevin or his brother. The saying you get what you pay for, holds true for Mr. Harris. If you are looking for cheap, and someone who will not care about you as an individual but only that you paid for his fee's, this attorney is not the one for you. If you are looking for the best, honest, most compassionate attorney who will fight to get the best he can for you, this is who you would want to choose. He brought me to tears, the first, and last meeting we had. He told my son when we left the courthouse in front of my son's probation officer, he drove from Richardson to Ft Worth to be at my sons last hearing, as he wouldn't have missed being there for the world. Kevin you truly are the best to have worked with and well worth every dollar I paid! Thank you so much

Professional and Compassionate Representation

I was way over my head in legal trouble (two felonies and a misdemeanor). Attorney Harris fought tooth and nail for me throughout the long arduous process, ultimately getting all charges dismissed. He was always assessable, only a phone call away, which I found very reassuring during this very trying... time in my life. He is well-respected in the legal community and he conducts himself as a professional at all times. He is conscientious, kind, and compassionate. I highly recommend the services of the Harris and Harris Law Group.
