I am so happy Jamie was recommended to me.

Jamie was a referral from a friend who used her years ago for a bankruptcy. I needed a criminal attorney and my friend told me to call Jamie's law office. Jamie told me she did criminal law now and no longer did bankruptcy and so after looking at many positive reviews I hired The Law Office of Jami...e Harris for my case. Jamie listened and actually investigated the issues I asked her to investigate. She didn't over charge me and showed up to every single court appearance except one. She called me the night before my third court date and told me she had to hire another attorney because she was stuck in a trial. Jamie worked hard on my case and in the end she was able to reduce it to an infraction with a small fine. I am very pleased with the service I received from The Law Office of Jamie Harris and recommend Jamie to everyone.

I can sleep at night thanks to Jamie.

Jamie Harris is a great attorney. I wanted to fight for custody due to some "issues" I saw with them. I knew my kids were not being treated right by their mother and her family but could not prove it. Every time I left court I felt drained and was losing sleep. I saw Jamie's ad in a magazine and t...hought "hey a free consult, why not". Jamie and her staff explained to my why I was not prevailing and I learned that I needed to hire a private investigator, and I had to stick to facts and not argue based on my emotions. The Law Office of Jamie N Harris helped me for a flat rate on a limited scope basis (my income was limited and I needed to get past one hurdle) and hiring her was the best decision I have ever made (besides having my kids). I am now working WITH the mother of my children instead of against her and I am able to sleep now. Thanks Jamie!

An attorney who you must hire if needed.

I would recommend Jamie Harris to anyone. I was a friend of a person charged with a crime. I went to all of is consultations, court dates, and meetings. We met about 6 attorneys and due to Jamie's assertive personality and how respectful she treated us, we went with her. Jamie and her staff are a...mazing. I never have any difficulty reaching anyone. If I leave a message I get a call right back. Anytime we have asked to come in to review the file the door has been open, no questions asked. I know Jamie is always in Court but you are never made to feel unimportant. She focuses on you when you are meeting with her and in court. I saw a person come up to her and ask her for her card in court and she apologized and told them they would have to wait because she was there for US and needed to help us first. I was surprised. And yes they waited. Thank you to the Law Office of Jamie N. Harris.

A GREAT ATTORNEY!

Jamie Harris helped me thru a difficult situation. I was in trouble again and wanted help. I had a history that I knew would automatically convict me and needed an attorney who could see past my history and help me with my current situation. I hired The Law Office of Jamie N Harris to represent me.... I was facing serious time and the loss of my kids. Jamie was always profession in court and if she was running late she was good at calling me herself and emailing me. I could also see that the DA she had to work with on my case actually listened to her. When some attorneys would walk up to the DA he would roll his eyes and cut them short. But with Jamie I saw that he listened and they looked like they were having a real discussion. Well about a year later after I hired Jamie Harris I settled my case and am happy with the result . No jail no prison and no reporting to a probation officer. I recommend The Law Office of Jamie N. Harris to anyone in need. She helped financially in taking payments and never made me feel like a criminal.

Jamie fought hard and my case was dismissed.

I hired The Law Office of Jamie N Harris to help me with a criminal matter. My former business partner filed a police report against me and for the first time in my life I was facing criminal charges. As a single mom and business owner I was scared. I did not know what to do. Jamie Harris was rec...ommended by a mutual friend and after meeting with her and her staff I knew why my friend insisted I hire her. She was kind and explained the process to me. She worked with my financial situation and never talked down to me if I was late with a payment. I emailed Jamie numerous documents pertaining to my case and she was always great at responding and telling me if she needed more. After about four court appearances I received a call from Jamie Harris that MY CASE WAS DISMISSED. She sent the District Attorney documents along with a letter explaining the documents. She in fact spoke with others in my industry and used them as experts to explain to the District Attorney how I was innocent. I will always be grateful for The Law Office of Jamie N Harris. She in fact treated me with respect as her logo says and I never felt like a criminal (as I was being charged) when I spoke with her or her staff.
