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 representatio...n.

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!

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.

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 an...d 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 f...or 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.
