An Attorney that you can rely on.

I don't know much about what goes on in bankruptcy or DUI cases, but I do know what has happened in my own family law case. I came to Jamie through a friend's referral and on the coat tails of being hoodwinked by another attorney who, REALLY did not give my divorce case the attention it needed, and ...that previous attorney did not respond to my concerns and questions in any timely manner. Eventually I had to let that attorney go for over charging me when she was getting nothing done. Jamie heard me out on what I needed to accomplish and what my previous attorney failed to do for my case. Jamie didn't smooth talk me, but simply listened and related to another human being who was caught in a difficult circumstance. She picked up the slack on my case and got the ball rolling again. In court she was on the mark about addressing and resolving the issues I expressed were important to me. She got me the results I was after. What I didn't realize (as probably most people who get caught in the legal system don't), but later learned from her and her staff is, it is not all up to my own attorney or the court system to get things taken care of. The other side's attorney can drag their feet, misfile court documents, loose documents, postpone/reschedule court dates and make mysery for me as the client, and I can say honestly before learning this fact, I focused my frustration at my attorney when things were not moving along as fast as I want them to. Once I learned that it is NOT her fault and we together are subject to the other side's lack of professionalism, I got a grip. I've seen my case file, and it takes up over 1/2 of a filing cabinet drawer. Jamie's office has worked harder and swifter to finalize my divorce than the previous attorney had any intention of doing. Julie, her paralegal is a fantastic negotiator, document writer, with a no-nonsense approach to managing my case, not to mention she knows family law extremely well. Jamie and her staff have given me space to breathe again. They treated me with respect and kindness that I will never forget or take for granted. For the people who complain, my advice is: open your eyes to the bigger picture, educate YOURSELF, and (for goodness sake) be honest with yourself: you got yourself into the mess you're in. I know I did in my case, as I have suffered being a poor judge of character in my love life. Patience is very much a virtue that anyone involved in legal matters must exercise to the near breaking point, regardless of which attorney represents them. I'm glad I have Jamie, Julie, Christie and the team at The Law Office of Jamie Harris, and I have no doubt that I will not entrust my life situations now and in the future, with any other law firm but hers.

A top notch Attorney and Staff

I hired Jamie Harris because I was referred to her by a friend. This friend used her in 2012. Jamie Harris did my divorce and custody case. Her paralegal was exceptional and helped me move my case along on the fast track. Jamie was confident in the courtroom and has no reservation about fighting ...for my rights and on my side. I am grateful to Jamie and Julie for all of their hard work. Also, most of the time when I would come to see Jamie or Julie there were other clients in the office as well. They all seemed happy. She would have snacks for the kids and coloring books. Jamie and Julie are AMAZING!! I would definitely recommend The Law Office of Jamie N. Harris.
