About

I graduated from Indiana University in 1993 and the DePaul University College of Law, in Chicago, IL, in 1996.  Since that time my law practice has varied, from working in a private criminal law practice, to handling consumer and domestic law cases for the City of Chicago, and then working as a Federal attorney for many years, focusing on disability law, and later concentrating on employment and labor law.I took a few years off of law to pursue a non-law related business venture, but since returning to practice as an attorney, I have been 100% focused on advising Central Oregonians of their options under the US Bankruptcy Code.  Bankruptcy is my only business, and helping Central Oregonians through this process is something I thoroughly enjoy. My wife and I moved West from Chicago in 1999, and we have resided in Central Oregon since 2006.  We have 2 young daughters, and are excited about raising them in this thriving and personable community.  We have seen first hand the effects the economic and housing downturn has had on our friends, neighbors and Central Oregon as a whole.  Just like you, we have faith in the future of Central Oregon, and look forward to leading a long and prosperous life here, and that starts with financial stability.I pride myself on retaining a personal relationship with my clients.  If you are looking for a big law firm atmosphere, you will not find it here.  Some bankruptcy firms handle a thousand cases or more in one year, but I simply do not want to be a “bankruptcy mill” and crank out case after case.  I prefer to work one-to-one with my clients so I can provide not only exceptional service but compassion, as they work through this unique, and sometimes difficult, time.An experienced paralegal is an integral part of my firm. Not only does she complete administrative processing, let clients know what documents we need, schedule appointments, and greet clients, she is also qualified to answer many questions you may have. However, as far as the legal aspects of your case are concerned,  all of my clients interact with me.  We strive to return telephone calls or email the same day at no additional cost. My fees are comparable to or less than most firms, and I can also work with you on payment plan options.

So thankful I found Andrew Harris for my Ch. 7 bankruptcy. Not only was he willing to work with us on payments, but both he and his assistant also did all the heavy lifting for me. They made a daunting and scary process simple and easy to understand. They both answered every single one of my questions and held my hand through the entire process. I've also had a few questions since my Discharge and my phone calls are always promptly returned and my questions answered. Such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I highly recommend Andrew to anyone in Central Oregon considering bankruptcy

He gets the job done efficiently and in a timely manor, as well as great client service. They had answers to all the questions i had right away and kept me in the loop of what was gonna happen next also had a quick response time for returning calls. I would recommend to anyone and id give him 12 out of a scale 1-10.

I highly recommend the services of Andrew Harris. He and his staff are highly personable and helpful. They addressed all my questions when I phoned, and kept me posted on the progress of my case. Thanks to Andrew, the process was virtually pain free.

Andrew did a great job. He worked with me and kept me informed. He understood my situation. Helped me gather everything I needed to get the job done. Have recommended him to others.

Painless and thorough during the entire Bankruptcy process! Mr. Harris and his staff were always ready to handle any question and offer reassurances at all times. Their advice was 100% accurate. I didn't lose a thing during the process except all the stress and anxiety I was holding onto. I would recommend Andrew Harris without reservations to anyone who is struggling with the prospect of filing for a Bankruptcy. I can't believe I waited so long to consult with him. If only I'd filed about 5 years ago, I wouldn't have had to listen to all those armchair lawyers with their doom and gloom prophecies! Time and money extremely well spent.

He helped me get my life back! No more harassing phone calls! I have recommended him to 2 of my dearest friends and Andrew did the same for them. Thank you very much.

Last year my wife and I filed a Chapter 7. We met with a few attorneys in Bend, and Andrew's knowledge, personality, and in-depth communication was light years above the other attorneys we met with. Lawyers sometimes rub me the wrong way, but that was definitely not the case with Andrew. He knew exactly what he was doing, he supported us instead of making us feel bad (like one of the other attorneys we met with), and our bankruptcy was a relief. His paralegal (I can't remember her name) is also very smart and caring. I've recommended him to family and people I work with, and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Andrew and his staff are fantastic! They helped us through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy recently, and they did an incredible job. Everything went extremely smoothly, they kept open, frequent communication with us throughout, and they were able to get us a budget that is absolutely workable for us. I can't even begin to explain what a weight has been lifted from our shoulders, and I doubt another attorney would have gotten us such a reasonable, workable payment amount, nor done so as smoothly and easily. We highly recommend Andrew Harris and his amazing staff!
