Good Lawyer Actually Cares

I had a difficult three year long divorce for a two year marriage. After a year with my first attorney who I fired I hired Adam. He was professional. He explained my options. His preparation and knowledge stood out when he was addressing the judge regarding my business which I started before we wer...e married. At the end I retained 100% of my business and have regularly scheduled visits with my child..

Adam Harris

Adam was absolutely fantastic in handling my divorce. He really cared and it showed in the outcome/ judgement. Throughout the process Adam was very attentive and quick to respond which was helpful and settling. The divorce process can be very lengthy, time consuming, and difficult to handle. ]Reta...ining Adam Harris is a great way to minimize those potential issues. He had a huge, positive impact on my case and I can't recommend him enough for yours.

Highly recommend Adam Harris

I went through a very difficult divorce that lasted over 2 years. Adam Harris is a trust lawyer with knowledge, compassion, and strength. His attention to detail, determination, and intuition is amazing. Adam had my best interest in mind and was able to gage the long term outcome. I would highly reco...mmend him for family law practice and his other expertise. Thank you Adam for your hard work and I am pleased with my outcome!

A good lawyer has to know the law, be able to fight for their client and help them navigate the emotional aspect as well!

Going through a divorce was the most painful and gut wrenching experience in my life! I had no idea of the raw emotions, palpitating anxiety, and absolute upheaval this experience would cause in my life. It is a no brainer to hire an attorney that knows the law. That's the easy part. It is much... harder to find a lawyer that is ethical, will fight for you, keep your case on track and be someone that will help navigate you through the personal and very emotional side of the experience. I hired a lawyer before Adam that came highly recommended and at first glance seemed like someone that would work hard on my behalf to get me the best settlement and help to keep me emotionally centered through the process. They turned out to be anything but on my side. They only wanted my money and in 10 months did nothing to bring my case to a resolution. I fired that law firm and hired Adam Harris. Adam did more in six months than my previous lawyer did in almost a year. He helped to undo some of the damage that the previous attorney had inflicted on my case and worked to bring my case to a quick closure while fighting to get the best possible financial outcome for me. There were several times that my husband's lawyer would drag their feet or make false accusations. I was living out of a suitcase and working three jobs when I separated and each time one of these events would happen I would have an emotional meltdown. What Adam did was work with me to quickly refute the accusations get the case back on track and more importantly would help me to work through the emotions of the case. He would always bring it back to the legal aspect of my case, would strategize with me about what the other side was probably trying to do and was very clear about what my options were and what he suggested. His empathy beyond the legalities helped to quell my fear and anxiety and in the end gave me the confidence needed to see my case through and not give up. In conclusion, Adam Harris helped me get a settlement larger than I had expected but one that I was deserving of and entitled to and it was one that was not even close to the paltry number that my first lawyer wanted me to settle. In addition to my settlement and equally as important, Adam navigated me through the painful and emotional aspects of my divorce as well and I am indebted to him for helping me get my life back on track after my divorce.
