Dont

Just don't unless you want to waste your money. This is not a place that has morals..

DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN

This man billed us $1,000 to do a simply clarifying order. He did it wrong twice and i believe it was either intentional to bill me for more money or just plain didn't care. He padded his bill up every time I questioned him on his mishandling of my case. RUN from this guy. I am pursuing dispute/c...omplaints as we speak.

This is a case in which I represented both he and his former wife. When his former wife saw his review, she posted her own review above entitled "John's Former Wife". I ask that you review her post and I will not respond further.

Mishandled

I hired Harrian to review my case, they insisted on phone communication charging me by the hour, only to waste my time with silly questions and conversation that wasnt relatable to my case, I had to get them back on track many times. At the end he reviewed my case and offered to work with me, but I d...eclined because of the experience I already had.

During the Covid-19 crisis we try to do all consultations and meetings by phone. The consultation fee has always been $50 for the first one-half hour and the normal hourly rate for any time above one-half hour. Most all initial consultations can be handled in one-half hour. Sometimes what a client may deem to be "silly" questions are important to get a complete background of the facts in order to give solid advice. I certainly would invite "John" to call me so that we can discuss his concerns. I have many consultations each week and I do not recall anyone appearing discontented with their consultation but would be more than happy to discuss this with him at any time.

Thank You Robert Harrian & Staff!!!

Somehow thank you just doesn't seem enough. When I first went to Harrian Law Firm, I didn't know what to expect, I met with Robert and as he talked to me and explained everything I felt totally safe and relaxed. I was so confused, hurt and didn't know if I could trust another human being again... after my divorce (but as I sat and listened, I just knew I could trust this man) as well as fearful about my future because I had planned on falling back on my ex-husband's retirement plan when I retired. I had given up an excellent career with retirement to start my own business and my ex and I were in agreement that his retirement was enough for us; well that was before he decided to leave the marriage and left me out to dry. I was told that I was due half of my ex husbands retirement plan which didn't add up to that much after he had been pulling money out of it without my knowledge. Robert informed me on my first visit, that I also am due half of his pension plan, a pension plan I didn't know existed. Robert took care of getting my portion on that to; Most lawyers that I had contacted prior going to Harrian Law Firm, couldn't tell me the first thing about QDRO's, they don't have any experience in this fairly new field, but Robert Harrian is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, in no time I was awarded half of the retirement money, then Robert skillfully worked on getting the pension plan, again in no time at all I was awarded that as well. I am so grateful to Robert and the folks at Harrian Law Firm, they have been extremely patient with me while I pay off my bill which Robert had lowered the amount from what he usually charged. Thank you again for such a smooth and positive experience. I will happily refer this law firm to anyone, I have no doubt that they would also have a positive experience as well.

Outstanding, Knowledgeable, and Professional - Highly Recommend

Robert Harrian drafted and submitted to the Court the QDRO documents for the community property retirement split post-decree for my ex-spouse and I. Mr. Harrian knew exactly what he was doing and what I was entitled to. My ex-husband had originally had the documents drafted up, and Mr. Harrian foun...d four (4) crucial mistakes that added up to an additional $10,000 that I was entitled to. Had I not hired Mr. Harrian, and had signed the documents my ex had drafted, I would have received $10,000 less than I did. Mr. Harrian communicated very effectively with me, my ex, and my ex’s attorney; and was able to get my ex to sign the documents, without needing further court intervention. On top of this, I was awarded 50% of attorney’s fees reimbursed to me for Mr. Harrian’s services. Overall, Mr. Harrian did an excellent and accurate job on the QDRO documents. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has retirement accounts to split. These documents are very technical and definitely need an expert review before you sign them.
