Harris S. Wood Jr.

I met Harris when I was going through my divorce in 2006. During our consultation Harris listened, paid attention and asked questions to really understand my personal situation. He explained the law, pros and cons of not being able to come to an agreement with my spouse and having the court make the ..."standard" decision. To be honest, I didn't listen. I didn't want to believe the law could be (what felt like) one sided. I didn't want to accept that I would lose so much time with my daughter because of the decisions of my wife. I searched for another lawyer to get a different opinion and I found one that played to my emotional state. He told me exactly what I wanted to hear. So about 2 months into Harris working on my divorce, I switched lawyers. After a big retainer fee upfront, a couple thousand more in the next 8 months, my case was going nowhere and everything was stalled which didn't help me one bit. I called Harris, apologized for being irrational and not trusting him to do his job. I asked if he would retake my case again. I really thought Harris, being a lawyer, would have responded with something like... sorry, I was willing to work for you, but you decided you didn't need my service. Good luck finding another lawyer. But he didn't. He understood and accepted my case again. In the end I would've saved myself a lot of time, money and headaches if I would've just listened to Harris and followed his advice in the beginning. Since finalizing my divorce in 2007, Harris was there for me when they wanted to modify (increase) child support. He was well organized and it seemed as if we had all the information prepared way before they requested it. It made things go quicker. After everything was said and done, my CS actually went down by 1/3rd. When friends or family members needed a lawyer, Harris is the only person I would recommend.
