    Honest and Direct

    Posted by

    Mr. Harris advised me frankly and with a great understanding of bankruptcy law. Most importantly he gave me alternatives to filing for Chapter 7 which I or other lawyers I spoke to had never thought of. I appreciated his honesty, integrity and not having that "briefcase will travel," mentality.

    Saved me from Bankruptcy

    Posted by

    I had a business legal judgment against me for over 1.3 million dollars. With Steve's help, I avoided having to file for bankruptcy and settled for less than 4 percent of the judgment. Steve was great - very knowledgeable and engaged. I would use his services again in a heartbeat and would strongly recommend his services to anyone.
    Stephen Harris' response: Thanks for the review, Al. I appreciate clients who listen to various options to avoid bankruptcy.

    The best of the best

    Posted by

    Mr. Harris listened to our problems, analyzed our situation and educated us in the choices available to us. He stood besides us and walked us through five years of a Chapter 13. He made himself available to us whenever we needed him. His assistant was always there for us, too. Right up to the very end. The professionalism, knowledge and experience of Harris Law Practice goes beyond anything we have ever experiences with any other law firm. They are simply the best!
    Stephen Harris' response: Thank you, Harold. I try my best to help my clients every step of the way. I appreciate your review.

    5 Star Attorney

    Posted by

    Recently I needed to use Steve's services again. I am a female sole owner of a multi million dollar company and the financial stress was over whelming me. Steve Harris came to the rescue and took care of communication with creditors and restructured my debt into a workable plan. An added bonus is he takes your call after hours and on weekends. This man cares about his clients.
    Stephen Harris' response: Thank you for the review and for taking my advice. It has worked out well.

    Steve Harris Cares

    Posted by

    I have been using Steve Harris as my debt consultant for about a year. He gave me advice on reorganizing my business and options to declaring bankruptcy. I would recommend him to any business owner who is struggling with finances and does not want to close their doors.
    Stephen Harris' response: Thank you for the review, Mary.

    Satisfied Client

    Mr. Harris gave me options other than filing bankruptcy. He is knowledgable, professional and even answered my calls after hours and on weekends. He cares about his clients and in my opinion, there is no one better in his field.
