Complicated Divorce and Custody Battle

I came to Mr. Harris on a recommendation from a friend who had been through a horrible divorce and custody battle. I was dealing with a soon to be X spouse who refused legal council, was egotistical often telling Mr. Harris he didn't know how to do his job, as well as a deportation (of the X). Mr. ...Harris saw through his threats and shenanigans and was able to help the court see the truth in our case and to ultimately do what was best for our children. Sadly, I still have a ways to go in order to truly be at peace, but when I am ready to complete the final chapter of this story, Mr. Harris will be the attorney I trust to represent me as well as my children. I appreciate his candor and forthrightness....if you are looking for someone to sugar coat things for you, don't call Mr. Harris. If you want truth and reasonable expectations, he is the one you want to represent you!

My Divorce

Jeffery is the BEST RELIABLE lawyer I have ever came across, he's determined to get your case in and out of court fast and efficiently. He made sure that all of my personal issues and case issues were in order and accurate to the courts system. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is dealing with fam...ily ordeals and he will start your case immediately. Very professional and very sincere in his work.

The best!

Hands down the best attorney ever! He fights for what's fair & helps you stand your ground. I was referred to him by a paralegal because my case was getting more complicated. Honestly, I couldn't have been referred to a better attorney. I'm 100% satisfied with his legal help & definetly will return t...o him if I ever have to go to court again. He gave me & my daughter peace of mind & am extremely grateful for all his hard work. Thanks Jeff! We appreciate it a lot!

Great attorney who knows his law and is really there to help his clients .

This is a great attorney who will be ohnest and upfront about how he can help you in your case. He does not promise you things that you want to hear to just get money out of you. He is great in court and has a strong demand in court. He is very knowledgeable about the law . I have already recommended... him to others who need a good attorney.

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.
