Posted by Sven | March 08, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Thank you very much !!

All I can say is THANK YOU !!! Having to go through a divorce is surly difficult enough but having the right attorney makes it so much easier. Having found myself in this situation I did my due diligence in researching an attorney. After coming across Jeffrey Harris and reading the reviews about hi...m I decided to give him a call. After a brief conversation I set up an appointment to meet him in person. As soon as I met Jeffrey I felt comfortable and I knew I had found the right attorney for me. The reason why is because Jeffrey is far from being the typical attorney - divorce/family lawyer. He doesn’t waste any time, he is clear precise and straight forward and most importantly he won’t break your bank. What good is a lawyer who wins a divorce for you but leaves you bankrupt. His pricing is more than fair and gave me the chance to have an outstanding lawyer at my side during this 2.5 year divorce ordeal. He was always there for me, kept me in check when my emotions started to get the best of me. He was calm, and collected, smart and when the time was right he turned into a pitbull. He knew all the time what he was doing and was waiting for his chance and the plan to unfold. And he delivered. I got exactly what I wanted and in the end not only super happy that I got divorced (best decision of my life) but very happy that overall this process went by smoothly and that I chose Jeffrey as my lawyer (second best decision of my life). I am utterly thankful for having Jeffrey and his team by my side and if you need a divorce/family law lawyer he is the right man for you and for the job.

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.

Experienced and Professional

Going through a divorce is stressful to say the least, but having the right attorney made all the difference! Mr. Harris was professional and supportive throughout the process and I felt I was in good hands from the first consultation. With his knowledge and insight, Mr. Harris ensured that I came o...ut of the divorce with the best possible outcome available to me. I highly recommend Mr. Harris. Definitely the attorney you want to have on your side!

Divorce

Don't waist your time, energy, and ESP your money! He was hired to represent a simple divorce , all he really cared about was getting "paid". Every now and then I would have to contact him regarding any follow up, and if I was lucky to get a response , he was very rude, arrogant, and a flat out bully... ALL IN HIS PROFESSIONAL EMAIL! It was almost like I was bothering him!!!! I never received any type of documentation , legal paper work, to show my divorce was filed, let alone final!! After almost a year of many emails with the answer " I have no information" , I found out I was legally divorce! How did I get notified ??? My x had remarried all within that time! My final email to him to not only Inform him, but to once again how come I never received anything from his office , his "reply" was very short, rude, and flat out unprofessional. Thanks Jeff!

The Best couldn't ask for anything more

In an unfortunate situation I would never wish upon anyone I was going through a divorce at a very young age. Along with going through my divorce I have a toddler who was my main priority and wanted to keep him away from any negativity and protected to the best of a mothers ability. Mr. Harris shined... light onto the circumstances allowing me to be a mother and taking care of everything in such an amazing manner and quick ! I had no worries and was always able to call at anytime considering I was working full time 12hr shifts. I felt the entire time my son and I where his main priority and we were given great direction. Great professionalism and so thankful couldn't of asked for anything more he is truly the best!! Now my son and I can grow in our own little family
