Phenomenal Knowledge and Service

Blake was able to work out a reduction from a sex crime felony to a misdemeanor. I was confused throughout the court proceedings as this was the first time I had ever been in serious trouble, I was really appreciative of the constant contact Blake provided so as to clear any questions up along the wa...y as well as the fact that he battled for me through this whole vase. He took every step possible to ensure that I got the best outcome and I am more than grateful for all the work he put in. He gives a sense of reliability and peace and will work with you from the beginning till the end, even after your case is over! No doubt my life could’ve been ruined but Blake helped me have a second chance at life and continuing my career! If you have any doubts or uncertainties, Blake will help! Blake will get it done for you!

Phenomenal Legal Representation as a Criminal Defense Attorney & I highly recommend his services

Blake Harris is phenomenal legal representation in Criminal Law and makes the impossible outcome...possible! He definitely exceeded my expectations and was extremely respectful and caring. When looking for legal counsel, please don't let age be a factor in deciding your criminal defense attorney.... Blake is up to date with our current laws and works with an highly educated team with excellent communication skills. It's very beneficial having a young attorney because their educated and experienced with the most up to date laws. This is an important factor because we live in a judicial system that consistently changes state/federal laws daily, but Mr. Harris is extremely knowledgable with our most recent laws circulating in the judicial system. Blake is on the rise and exceeds my expectations by a long haul. He is well known in our legal system and is highly professional. If you choose Mr. Harris as your legal defense attorney and work with him closely, your final outcomes will exceed far beyond your expectations and you'll be very pleased with his services. Thank you dearly Mr. Harris for taking my case and helping me through a stressful time in my life. I now feel a peace of mind and I'm so grateful that I'm with my family. Also, i would like to thank you for helping our Veteran Community and Disabled Veterans. Blake helped me connect with other Veterans dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from Combat and with Veterans experiencing fetal injuries/illnesses caused by war. I'm so blessed that he steered me in the right direction for treatment and he reduced stress in my life substantially. I'm very grateful for his services and helping me achieve treatment goals when coming back from deployment. Again, thank you for your services helping our military community, disabled veterans and civilians. Blake dearly and truly cares about our brothers and sisters in arms. Blake will represent you with the highest standards, making our men and women in uniform a high priority because he respects anyone that puts their lives on the line of duty for our country.

Great Criminal Attorney

Blake not only took the time to help me understand my case, but, as this was my first criminal trial, he helped me understand the dynamics of the proceedings and court room. This was a very stressful event for me, so understanding what was going on was crucial for me to be successful (and reduce stre...ss), the result being the case getting dropped by the prosectution before it was taken to trial.

Posted by J | December 07, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Outstanding criminal lawyer in Washington

Blake Harris did a great job on my case. He is a caring and competent lawyer who takes his client’s cases seriously and makes every effort to research all the facts. He fought very hard for me in a difficult case involving domestic violence which thankfully, was ultimately dismissed. Blake is a ha...rd-working attorney who leaves no stone unturned and is a great communicator. He always answered my phone calls, texts and emails promptly with clarity and conciseness and demonstrates a clear passion for the law and in the rule of law itself. This attorney is a young man of sound moral fiber with integrity that is beyond reproach. I highly recommend him.
