Barbara Mcdaniel Harris

Harris was the attorney I hired 12 years ago for my son which I won full soul custody 12 yrs later I hired her for my youngest son whom at the time I only saw two weekends a month now I have him 7 days and then mom gets 7 days he just turned 6yr old .times are diffent fathers are stepping it to much ...which they should so you can't blame it all on miss Harris fathers have a right to be with there child just as much a mother has once again sorry to all because I'm the long run it's only the child that gets hurt

I raised my daughter her entire life. When she was 9yrs old her dad decided to not return her over the summer, he filed an emergency restraining order lieing and saying that I threatend to never let him see her which granted him temporary full custody until we went to court. I hired Mr.Harris over th...e phone. I could never reach her and she never reached out to me. I should have let her go but I know attorneys are busy.Also since I was not from California I had no idea who to go with and she initially sounded so convincing. My ex couldnt prove me unfit in anyway shape or form. I had to fly and sometimes drive from my state to Bakersfield just so she could sit back in her chair never objecting or defending me. I feel I could have won my case representing myself. I was attacked by the other counsil and she did nothing. I lost my daughter and there was no rhyme or reason for this to happen. I am a great mom. I have my two other kids, a house, a car a good job. Even passed the home inspection with flying colors and I still lost her. At the end of the last court date I ask Ms.Harris "Does money buy you the verdict you want here?" (Because I was fighting people with lots of money) she replied "Yes". I paid her every dime she asked for, to only lose my daughter. Since I lost her she and her dad have moved 6 times and uprooting her from state to state. She is so unhappy its breaks my heart. I'm sorry to ever have to write a review like this but in my heart I feel its nessesary!!!

I was represented for Ms. McDaniel, and sold a great story by her Paralegal, but noone delivered. It was like she sat back and watched my kids get ripped away from me while she was still reading the file. Additionally, I was never provided any ongoing billing or documentation of my case throughout ...the process until out-of-the-blue, I was given a bill which inaccurately reflected over 2500 dollars which I had paid to her Paralegal (unaccounted for) and I was told the balance had to be paid within 7 days in order for her to continue on my case. I had NEVER seen a bill prior to that date and she was expecting me to pay over 4000 dollars within seven days. I had no notification prior to this date that I even had an outstanding balance and was certainly not given an adequate amount of time to either pay the balance or retain a new attorney prior to my next court date subsequenItly leaving me with a very dire situation. I ulimately represented myself in my next court case and lost custody of my three children at no cause of my own. I have now obtained new legal counsel to help my children get back with me, their MOTHER. I have vowed, that any way possible without misrepresenting any of the facts, I would help to ensure that futuue clients were not hiring someone withthout having read my story first. These are the facts, my case isstill proceeding and would NOT recommend Ms. McDaniel-Harris or her papalegal, Inez.
