Reviews
Rich and his team are sophisticated, skilled lawyers who know the law so very well. They helped our family through a difficult time and I trust no one else to skillfully handle our case. I highly recommend them.
I would like to share with you my trust in Richard Harris, his integrity and the support which I received from him at a time when my world was crashing in and the person I trusted my life with for 37 years decided to break our trusted covenant. I was lucky to have a very close friend share with me to go see Rich. Rich walked me though the process and clearly explain in detail how everything would work for me with the system. This system is one which I never wanted to know and yet I now was I the middle of it. I shared that I could not handle any more surprises and he made sure that didn't happen. He was very clear and asked clarifying questions to ensure he understood what I needed to get my life on a new road. His expertise in the law and what it was going to take so that I had hope of a sound financial future was vital in helping move forward as I couldn’t begin to go to work everyday, protect my family and appear to be a stable person if he hadn’t been their to worry and handle all the other parts of my life that had just been pulled out from under me. I currently have referred Richard Harris to 10 other people at this time and I know that 3 have or are currently working with The Harris Law Firm. I will continue to share with anyone who needs help with family law how supportive and professional The Harris Family Law Firm is, so I’m glad to recommend Richard Harris.
