I wanted to thank Andrew Mckewon at Harris Family Law for the incredible work. I was referred to Andrew by a close friend. As many in similar situations can attest to, having to go through any family law situation can be harrowing and stressful. I had spoken to several attorneys who were all competent, but Andrew was the only one to take the time to listen, understand and reassure me that this matter would be taken care of.
Andrew's communication and transparency are excellent. He is pragmatic, setting expectations that always made me feel optimistic about my matter; as well as taken care of. He will always go to bat for you and he's an attorney you can rely on to get it done.
Thank you!!
Andy and I have known each other since the first year of law school. He has always been extremely professional and thoughtful in his approach. What makes him an amazing family law attorney is his ability to place himself in his clients position and effectively communicate to their needs. I recommend Andy to the highest degree.

As a student advocate, Andrew was a finalist in the largest family law competition in the United States where he argues in the Ohio Supreme Court on constitutional law and parental rights termination issues.

Andrew understands the emotional roller coaster that accompanies dissolution, custody, and domestic violence issues.

Personal Reference
I've been in a professional networking business chapter with Andrew for 6/months, we see each other at least 1x every week. In getting to know Andrew more in the past 6/months both at weekly meetings and 121 meetings outside of those scheduled meetings I know firsthand Andrew is knowledgeable, professional, personable, confident and well versed in his craft. I learn something new every week from Andrew and I would have absolutely zero hesitation in referring him with confidence to anyone in my contact sphere that may need family law services

I trust Andrew with all my family matters
I've met with Andrew multiple times to discuss sensitive topics regarding family matters. Whether I need assistance or I have family, friends, or clients who are in need of a family law attorney, Andrew is who I think of first. In the year that I have gotten to know Andrew, it's clear that he cares about what he does and who he helps, and that's what most important in my opinion when it comes to sensitive, private, and usually very emotional situations. It would be worth your time to have a sit down with Andrew to determine if he would be the right fit for you.

Highly Recommend
Mr. McKeown is extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful during a difficult time. He puts his clients needs first and doesn't just try to run up the bill. I got a favorable result without the need for extended court intervention (and costs). I would recommend to anyone in need of family law assistance.

Stellar attorney!
Andrew walked me through a very difficult period in my life when my wife of 13 years and I decided to divorce. He always took the time to explain every nuance of the dissolution process to me and was incredibly thorough with my case. In the end I was awarded 50% custody of my 2 children and negotiated a very reasonable spousal support award for my ex-wife.
Andrew truly is a stellar attorney who devotes himself to clients. I would recommend him 100% to anyone I know personally!
