Painless process with Jeffrey!

Jeffrey helped me with my restraining order case, and couldn't have made it easier! Setting up the restraining order was effortless when I met with Jeffrey in his office. He then was persistent in serving my client (made multiple attempts across town) When we went to court to get a permanent restrain...ing order, Jeffrey made me feel comfortable as he defended my case along with me to our commissioner. He even persuaded the commissioner to extend the restraining order from 3 to 5 years. I truly didn't expect this process to be so easy. Wouldn't have done it with anyone else1

Out of this world

I contacted Jeffrey out of share desperation from my previous lawyer who was not fulfilling my representation. Jeffrey was considerate, supportive, and assertive. I felt like that someone was there for me, and that at the end of the day, I was in good hands. Well I was wrong, I was not in good hands..., but great hands. He made the divorce so much easier on me that I could concentrate on myself knowing that Jeffrey was looking after the divorce. If there is one thing that I could say, hire Jeffrey, you will not regret it.

Excellent attorney

I came to Jeff with a very complicated family law issue, and I immediately felt secure with his knowledge and handle over the law and my case. I ended up with the exact result I wanted in the end and I owe it all to Jeff. Highly recommend.

THE LAWYER OTHER LAWYERS TRUST

I am a practicing attorney who does not practice in family law. During a complex international custody dispute, which involved several courts and extremely sensitive issues, I turned to Jeff Harris. He has a very high understanding of the law, strengths and weaknesses of a case and his clients' nee...ds. For a while, I have recommended Jeff to my own clients prior to him representing me and always thought he was a skilled attorney. Now, I understand first hand just how good he is. Solid legal advice. No frills. No bells and whistles. If you need an "ace on the job" this is the lawyer you want to hire. One of the best lawyers in So Cal.

The best of the best.

I have hired Jeff when my wife took my child and left me with out letting me know. I had all kinds of false allegations made by my former wife. I called Jeff once I got back into town and from day one Jeff has been outstanding he got the TRO dropped and also got me visitation with my daughter and we ...are still in the mist of getting 50/50 custody. He is on point and answer his phone whenever you call him even when he's on vacation he answered my phone calls. If you have a child custody and divorce case I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed. Thank you very much Jeff for all you have done are still doing for me.
