Barbara Mcdaniel Harris

I just recently hired Barbara, again, like a fool. Long story short, after 8 months of trying to modify my support, she didn't show up for my hearing, didn't call to tell me that the judge wanted me present over the phone, and hasn't returned my calls after the fact. She now works as an associate i...n another firm. I would have had better representation from a paper sack. Just a huge waste of time and money. Oh, and to top it all off, my payments went up after it was all said and done. Just unbelievable. My wife's cousin hired her too, same thing, the worst, most impotent counsel on the planet. My ex actually called and laughed at me after the hearing took place. Can you believe that! I hope and pray that folks read this before they get suckered in to hiring this woman. Got walked all over during the custody hearing, and then this. This is gonna cost me thousands over the course of the next 7 years. I wish I had the money to sue her, or even a formal complaint tied to her license. The California Bar Association really needs to look into this woman. It would help a lot of people if they did.

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.
