Akilah is truly an expert and was very knowledgeable in regards to my case. I had a dispute with my neighbor and she was able to provide facts and get my case resolved.
Ms Harris helped me through a difficult divorce and I’m grateful for her expertise. While no divorce is easy, Ms Harris made sure it went as smoothly and fairly as possible. I am satisfied with the resolution, and would highly recommend Ms Harris to anyone in need of a family attorney.
I hired Ms. Harris to assist me with my Child Custody Case. The mother of my daughter took her to another state, without my knowledge or permission. Given the fact that, there were unresolved child support issues, the mother of my daughter was represented by attorneys from the Division of Children and Family. Despite the extensive resources of the State of Florida, Ms. Harris prepared my legal position and effectively argued my case to a successful conclusion. I now have full custody of my daughter, and a very fair time sharing arrangement, and I am now entitled to receive child support payments, instead of having to pay. I admire her knowledge of family law, hard work, tenacity, and persistence, as most men in Florida do not very often win these cases. I would highly recommend her services. Michael
I needed a divorce but didn't want a hassle. She gave me all information I needed to know. I didn't need to do anything but show up for court and get him to sign the papers. If I did this on my own it would have taken me forever. She had all the documents ready for us to sign. Everything was done in a matter of months, due to court dates, and she was honest and truthful about what to expect. It was a good experience for my first lawyer. If I need any advice I know I can go to her and get the right information.
Mrs. Harris was an absolute joy to work with. I was very impressed with her very user friendly billing platform, which made it so easy to use a debit or credit card to pay invoices (which the prices were very reasonable in comparisons i have made). She has a platform which i was able to log into and see updates on my case. Her paralegal Tara, was a breeze to work with and never took more than 12 hours to reply to any request i had. Mrs. Harris and her team did honest work for me at a great price and i couldnt ask for a better outcome. She will not steer you wrong!
Akilah and her staff represented me in a very difficult case. They were very patient and understood the meaning of family. They explained every step of the way to me so there were very little surprises. If I am every in involved in a family legal matter, I will hire Akilah again in a heart beat!
I hired this firm for a "dissolution of marriage with children" case. The case, from start to finish, was settled and processed within 7 months. Akilah Harris is an excellent attorney.
I hired Akilah to assist me with getting custody of my son. She was very knowledgeable and prompt dealing with the paperwork. She practiced with me before meetings with the judges to ensure I was comfortable and accurate with my answers. When all said and done I have custody of my son and he is with me full time. I can't thank her enough for her help.
Ms. Harris is nothing short of amazing. Her communications are spot on, she gets things done very timely. She assisted me with a child supporting and time sharing case, which went much smoother than I anticipated. She is worth double what she charges.
I hired Akilah to assist me with sealing my record, which had a few felonies on it. Her attorney fees were very reasonable and within my limited means. She begun working on my case as soon as I provided her with all my legal documentation. She also explained to me the legal process pertaining to my case and kept me informed thoughout that process. In fact, I needed to sign a affidavit but the court didn't supply it to us, so Akilah being her amazing self took it upon herself to generate a proper legal affidavit for me to sign. Moreover, she kept me in the loop and up to date every step along my legal journey. I'm just thrilled that I found her and ever more satisfied with the results. Thanks Akilah, Joe
