Truly Great
Jacob represented me even living two hours away. I had been "boxed out" of local attorneys. He spoke up for me during my first hearing. He stopped the other attorney from distracting the judge with nonsense and it felt so good to have someone on my side. I will definitely be keeping his representation.

Considerate and Diligent
Jacob was open-minded and considerate. In family matter cases the drama can be outstanding but he and Wendy were tenacious when working as a team and Jacob phenomenal in his approach when handling my case. He worked with me on every aspect and kept me in the loop of every detail making sure not only the needs of my child were met but the needs of my personal family and household at hand. I would highly recommend Jacob as his help benefited my family greatly! He made it altogether EASY for me to concentrate on my everyday business and successes as well. My child involved in the custody case has come through this with little effect by the legalities as our end was kept as simple as possible while the other side tried to influence the children. The professionalism of Levy & Harris has prevailed even when the drama from the opposing party tried to ensue. Our case was long, but worth it. The year and half Jacob spent on our case with diligence has proven to be worth the wait. A battle will always have ups and downs, but Levy & Harris has proven to lose little battles and won the war in my case. I praise their efforts and highly recommend Jacob! My child is thriving thanks to this great outcome!

Exceptional Representation
There are not enough words to express the immeasurable gratitude I have for Jacob Harris. Faced with a complicated and ugly divorce/custody situation, he helped me to find the courage to continue the hurdles and the struggle of the courtroom. After every conversation or meeting we had, I felt more and more at ease and confident in the success of our case. Polite, compassionate, understanding, involved, honest, reasonable, professional... just some of the words that hardly put a dent in describing what an extraordinary person and attorney he has been. From beginning to end he fought for my best interest while simultaneously keeping in mind how expensive divorce can be. Consistent and diligent the whole way through even while dealing with a less than cooperative opposing attorney. In the end, he helped me to attain more than what I expected and more than I asked for. Jacob, you have my sincerest thanks and endless gratitude. You secured the bond between Father and Daughter, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Here's to your many successes!

Professional, Family Law
Jacob, do not put him in the same categories as a Common Family Law Lawyer, Jacob is different becauses he cares, from consultation to final hearing Jacob went through each step of the process being profesional even exploring legal discrepancy between State an Federal laws with chalenging questions for the Oregon Court System. Remember this was a family law case which are stressful enough in there own so having Jacob on my an my families team we recieved, a counselor, mediator, advisor, and most of all legal profesional, We thank Jacob an encourage more Lawyers to work as diligently as he did to help there clients.

Professional and personal service
Initial meeting was free, Jacob did a good job of explaining the process and fees involved with my case. He took an interest in my situation and listened to my point of view, while offering his best legal advice. Once hire he completed my case promptly and without issue ensuring my wishes were met. I would recommend him highly.

Beyond Satisfied!
I met with Mr. Harris after several "highly recommended" but awful attorneys for my child custody case. Jacob was prepared with my complete case history and all relevant documents at our first meeting. He was knowledgeable, compassionate and extremely diligent. I immediately felt relief and complete confidence that he was going to do everything in his ability to help my case. He made himself available to me at all times, professionally and emotionally. He was so calming and supportive the day of court. His professionalism and respectful demeanor with the judge and opposing attorney were crucial in the judges decision in my case. I believe the outcome would not have been the same without Jacob by my side. Mr. Harris was more than I ever expected and I will never use another attorney!

I contacted Mr. Harris in October of 1015. I was very impressed with Jacob right away. His overall personality and politeness is off the chart. He was very understanding, compassionate, and most of all, knowledgeable about domestic law. I'm going through a divorce after 24 yrs. and i was forced to obtain a restraining order against my husband. Jacob took care of everything for me and was always completely prepared at all times. I have worked with some of the finest attorneys and judges in Las Vegas, Nevada and Southern Oregon. I can tell you, Jacob is above all of them, he goes beyond the call of duty for you. There was not one time, that I called him, that he didn't return my call in a timely fashion. Most attorneys will leave you hanging, sometimes for days, but not Jacob. This has been one of the most emotional situations in my life , next to my deployment to Iraq. Jacob new exactly how to help me through this very emotional court hearing, he kept me focused, so I wouldn't completely shut down due to nerves. I would be proud to refer anyone with a domestic lawsuit to Jacob Harris. He has treated me like part of his family and gave me words of courage, when I felt weak from the stress. I would like to publicly thank Jacob for everything he has done for me in this case. He is a great attorney and I know when you retain him will have great results.

Saved our family!
It's not often you can find a lawyer who is really there for you or will invest themselves in the matter that Jacob Harris did for my wife and I this last year. Several months ago my families lives got overturned and a custody battle shortly followed. We reached out to Mr Harris for help, little did we know how incredibly wonderful and pleasant the journey would be with Jacob Harris in our corner. Mr Harris was able to make short work of the dilemma and get us full custody of my wife's daughter. Mr Harris was incredibly professional, courteous and available to take our calls day and night, no matter the urgency of the call. We let Jacob know that no matter the issue, if ever legal representation is ever needed in our household again, Jacob will be the one we trust in. Thank you ever so much!

DO NOT HIRE
Everything was great in the beginning. My court date was rescheduled and for whatever reason Jacob decided not to actually follow through. I paid to have representation and I received no such thing. Wish I could give a better review but this is what happened in my experience with Jacob.
