Robert F Harrian

I can't begin to thank Bob and Tamara enough for getting me through the worst time of my life, a divorce. From the moment I walked in, Tamara made me feel welcome and safe. I arrived uncertain of my future with my children due to the sudden departure of my husband. Bob Harrian handled everything wi...th the utmost of care and I was well-supported due to his diligence and hard work. I was able to support my family and go through college. They offered words of encouragement, which was so important to me. My divorce ended up being much more favorable to me than I had any idea would be possible. I've read some of the previous reviews and am astounded that they are even talking about the right people. I have known the Harrians since about 2000, over 20 years. They have handled a variety of cases for me and my family. Anytime I needed anything, I could call and ask Bob, and he would take the time to make sure I always understood my options. I have always known Bob and Tamara to be kind, honest, supportive people. I feel like I have one of the last law firms that seem like the kind of family that would be there no matter what.

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.

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.
