The Perfect Choice

I contacted Jeffrey Harris for a family law case. He was to the point and precise on what needed to be done on my part and what his role would be. Right away I knew he was the attorney for me. He let me know the truth of the outcome of a move-away case. He never stopped fighting for me and we won due... to the power of God and my attorneys persistence. I am proud to announce that my family happily relocated and I strongly suggest for you to use Jeffrey Harris to defend you in court because he truly has your best interest at heart. It is also important to note that every attorney I contacted prior to Mr. Harris told me my move away would be impossible. Not only did he get the job done, he accomplished it in a timely manner and at an affordable rate.

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

On-Going Loyalty

Jeffrey L. Harris has proven, time and time again, his allegiance to me, his client. I cannot thank him enough for the support he has given me throughout the years. He will take care of everything while being calming, yet assertive along the way. It's been more than two years since my divorce. I hav...e needed his assistance several times. Ugly issues, sadly, make their appearance now and again. I'm always ready to just about give up. Then Mr. Harris sends a text with the perfect reply. He's got your back! He is an amazing advocate. He is my courage!

Excellent

Honest, sincere, hardworking. Harris Family Law handled my child custody case efficiently and passionately. When I first interviewed with Jeff he turned my case away. He knew I needed time to take initiative and gather strength for the uphill battle I was in for. I respected Jeff for not just tak...ing my money knowing that we were going to fight a losing battle. Months later I interviewed again. Jeff gave me a fair price. He was loyal and motivated all the way through the cases he handled for me. The end result. I have more time with my son and over night visits. We came a long way considering I started with only 2 hours of supervised visitation a week. I am so thankful for Jeff and James.

Effective and efficient advocate

I am extremely lucky to have found Jeff. I previously had another family law attorney represent me in my divorce. My prior attorney let my case languish, failed to return my phone calls, and racked up exorbitant attorneys' fees. I was happy to discover that Jeff was the exact opposite. He charged... a reasonable flat rate and was able to get all property and contentious child custody issues resolved within a few months of receiving my file, which I thought was unbelievable given the unreasonableness of my ex-spouse. I am an attorney, and Jeff had the added layer of difficulty in impressing a season litigator. Jeff was the right balance of empathy, aggressiveness, persistence, and diplomacy. It was Jeff's doggedness and negotiation ability with opposing counsel that helped finalize my entire divorce. Because of Jeff, I am able to move on with my life.
