A true professional

She is the Champion my friends, She'll keep fighting til the end. This is how I embody Attorney Carolyn Harris. I have just ended a 1 1/2 year guardianship/custody "Battle". I have been the legal guardian of my grandchild and the biological father wanted sole custody. Carolyn came highly recomm...ended from a Los Angeles Attorney. She was forthright with all of the issues that I would encounter. I had the end goal in mind and she chipped away at each of the legal procedures that were needed to attain my goal. I had a very slim chance of retaining guardianship but Attn. Harris was methodical, professional, and in tune with all of the procedures that were needed for each step. She is a TRUE professional. She doesn't get caught up with the underhandedness that some lawyers employ. Her detailed questions and record keeping of my case were SPOT ON. With Attn. Harris's years of working in the legal system, she knows how the law works and does her research. My case ended with a trial and Attn. Harris was PREPARED, and that is how you WIN!!! Her knowledge of the law is why I think Carolyn Harris is a CHAMPION. I would HIGHLY recommend Attn. Harris for any legal issues.

Attorney Carolyn B. Harris is the best

During my consultation with Attorney Harris, I was impressed that my case file had already been obtained and reviewed. Ms. Harris explained exactly what I needed to do, and she gave me the option to do this myself or to hire her as my attorney. Ms. Harris immediately began electronically filing the n...eeded documents. I was so impressed with her legal expertise and professionalism. Now my marriage is finally over, and I did not have to appear in court. Thank you so much to Attorney Harris and her legal assistant Melissa. I highly recommend Carolyn B. Harris as she is an excellent family law/divorce attorney.

Professional and Well Knowledged

Carolyn is upfront, understands the law, and knows the courts in Monterey. She understands the importance of Fathers having shared-custody and parents who are "obstacles" to their children's relationship to their own Father. I hired Carolyn to help me with a long drawn out divorce centered on parent...al alienation. She helped me reach the goal for the children: shared custody.
