PHEEEW.... Saved from a huge child sup hike!!

Thank god I hired Jeff again! I almost had my child support doubled even tripled! My daughters mom ordered a child sup reevaluation since 9 years had past and I make a lot more money. I thought about just going to court by myself because I was afraid that I would pay for a lawyer and end up with the ...same results as if I represented myself. Luckily I didn't go that route. We got to the court house and met with the states child support attorney, (Jeff did all the talking) I didn't have to say anything. Within 5-10 minutes we were out of there. Jeff got the court appearance cancelled and the attempted CS hike thrown out! Thank god! I was certain my payment was going to double at the very least!! Pheewwww... Glad that's over... Thanks again Jeff!

Jeff Harris is a lawyer who cares about your case and won't rob you blind!

Recently, I needed a family law lawyer, because my ex-spouse was taking me to court over wanting to change the existing child support and custody rulings that had been set forth in the original court order . I was married for 25 years and have 3 children. My divorce was incredibly hard on my kid...s and I. After having spent $50,000 on my original divorce, I hated all lawyers. I felt that these expensive lawyers, rob you blind, when you're at your weakest moment and don't feel you have a choice. Having spent so much money on lawyers, I had little hope there was a one out there who could help me fight this case. I had met with 2 lawyers already who had told me that even though my ex-spouse was in the wrong, it would take $25,000 to fight the case .I was at a very low point. A friend recommended Jeff Harris to me. After 1 hour of consulting (that Jeff did not charge me for), he understood my case, confirmed to me that he thought I had a very solid case and said we could accomplish and prepare the appropriate documents for this modification in less than 10 hours of his time. I thought that was impossible. Jeff charged me a set fee, which included our time in court, that was so reasonable, I was stunned. We then worked straight for 3 hours together and he completely had my story and case formulated. We then met 2 more times to completely prepare my case. Jeff worked so efficiently and knew exactly what needed to be done. The day we went to court, Jeff made me feel like I would be taken care of. He was not only very prepared, but he was passionate about my case and he wasn't afraid to fight for me. We ended up getting exactly what I was asking for. I can say honestly that Jeff was better by far than the 2 incredibly expensive, well known lawyers, I had before. I wished I had found him 5 years ago. Jeff Harris is a find. He's young, motivated and not jaded. I recommend him highly!

My Victory

My daughter found Jeff for me. After many weeks of searching I was more than thankful for GOD leading me to such an individual who made my life less stressful. My case was sort of, I can't even find words for it. It started in GA . I divorced my ex in GA, no he had no idea I had my papers. I moved ...back to CA where he has been for more than two years prior to my return. Well be that , that it may. When he found out I was back, he had me served with divorce papers. I was davastated because I new CA laws were different, and I was sure his surrounding had been telling him what he was entitle to. I was the sole provider of the familly. Being a nurse is not easy, especially when people feel they are entitled. Long story short. I met Jeff and explain my situation and told him what I needed him to make happen and by GOD he did. There was also a child involved. She was his biolgical grandchild whom we adopted. I was concern with him sticking me with child and spousal support. Why else would he want me in court if I had told him we were already divorce. I was not taking any chances. My cousin was going thru the same thing with his ex-wife and advised me to get a lawyer. He stated , it's best to pay a lawyer than to have him in your pockets the rest of his life. So, I hired Jeff, and he settle it all. I have no obligation to him or his granddaughter. Thanks to GOD and Jeff swift actions. I no longer have concerns of caring for two people that I only tired to help during our marriage. But all is well that ends well and it did. And all that brings me to this, if you have family issues and you know you have done your best to settle it, with no avail. Call Jeff, he's the man that can. Thanks Jeff I truly apprecialte your service
