Please do not disregard the complaints written about this law firm. I am someone who tries to assess every negative review without jumping to conclusions. But I promise that these people are not exaggerating. We hired this law firm with the intent of going after an appeal and some post-decree matters such as contempt and child support. I can say that my husband has received atrocious help from this firm. On top of having to literally beg our attorney to do anything we needed, we had to send information to her multiple times because she ignored emails or wrote things up incorrectly. Needless to say, we paid for every phone call, every plea, and every email. So, after paying approximately $20,000, we received another bill saying we owed another $3,200 to make up for our balance and refresh our retainer. On this bill, we noticed a discrepancy of almost $1,500 between what they claimed we had paid to date and what we had bank statements proving we had paid. This was the last straw, and we began complaining first to the attorney herself to give her a chance to correct the issues. This got absolutely nowhere, and in fact led to us receiving an email a week later saying that she was raising her fee; so next, we were directed to Cheryl. This required my husband to make a special trip to Denver to meet with her and explain the issues we were having. Cheryl explained that we were free to go with another attorney, but to just let her know, and in the meantime she would look into our complaints as well as our billing issue. When we chose to try another attorney because we simply could not afford to start over with another law firm (although we would have preferred to), Cheryl told us that we needed to set up a meeting with the new attorney (another special trip to Denver), that she would refund us only $400 for the mistakes, and that she was still working on the billing issue. That was the last we heard from Cheryl. Now we have contacted the billing department again and supposedly they are working on it…still. And, we have been given yet another name to whom we can complain. Needless to say, I’m not hopeful we will actually get any help. All of this does not include the fact that for about $10,000 we have received LITERALLY nothing. None of the matters we needed help with other than the appeal have even been addressed. You will waste your time and your money and your sanity with this law firm. Please look somewhere else. And the responses from the owner to the complaints are a joke. As you can see, we’ve already been in contact with one of the people they say to contact in the case of a complaint, and she’s part of the problem.

I would not recommend the Harris Law Firm. The initial consultation was good with Kate Brewer. Once I provided a retainer, I ended up doing a lot of work myself. Ms. Brewer was often not responsive to me or the other parties attorney, which created more issues that should not have occurred for me and my family while costing me more money. Ms. Brewer was not going to continue representing my case when there was a court date set the next day and their office had a mix up with my financials. She did not call me, but rather sent me a brief email stating she would no longer be representing me due to a negative balance in my trust. I paid them more than needed and was told I had no balance to pay, however I wanted to be sure there was plenty in my trust should something come up. They took the rest of that money in addition to what more I provided to assure she would continue to represent me. She did not do well in court and did not take time to address very important issues pertaining to my case. I was charged about $8,000 in 3 weeks. The law firm I went to afterwards barely charged me about half this amount and did 10 times the work in an 8 month period. The new law firm additionally took my case while it was in the middle of litigation cleaning up this mess. This attorney caused a lot of unnecessary issues which is unfortunate. Divorce is a difficult process and you want to know your attorney will be there to help guide you. They provided little to no comfort and when I expressed I was disappointed with what had transpired, their financial office tried to set up a payment program for me and they would not do anything of the sort prior. I made them aware of how the financial aspect of this was very difficult and I was not given any sort of plan to help with the process. I was able to pay for their work, however I needed to do so in payments, even if it would be twice a month...they were not willing to work with me until I said I was planning to find other representation. Running up costs with unnecessarily emails, phone calls and then not returning opposing counsels emails or calls is not acceptable. It was the worst experience throughout this entire process.

I was referred to the Harris Law Firm from a colleague who had been in a similar situation that I was experiencing. I knew it was important to find a lawyer this time who would be thorough and detailed. That is the best way to describe Taylor Fish. I had no idea what to expect throughout the process of modifying my parenting plan, but Taylor was amazing at keeping calm and preparing me for each step. There were times when I would be discouraged by the process and what was happening, but my attorney would remain level headed and tell me to take a few days and we would get going again. Taylor is an expert at allowing you to make your own decisions, but she always gives solid advice and direction. I trusted her to know exactly what to do and I knew that she was on top of every aspect of my case. She really got to know me and continually focused on my daughter, who was the most important thing throughout our litigation. I was extremely impressed with her ability to word my thoughts in an exceptionally articulate manner and to make sure that every deadline was met and paperwork was filed. When my attorney was busy with another case, she would always let me know that she hadn’t forgotten me but she had to devote her time to the deadline the other case had. I appreciated that because I knew that if something was pressing with my case, she would put in the time and effort needed for me as well. And she proved me right. We were able to settle our case out of court and to obtain a parenting plan that I believe is truly in the best interests of my child. The paralegal working on my case was amazing and she really made me feel like she valued my time. I could tell that she was a wealth of knowledge and a valuable asset to the team. The financial department was thorough and respectful. I was always aware of where my money was going and what was happening financially. During the most stressful situation I’ve ever experienced I was so grateful to have this Firm behind me, ready to help in any way possible. I would highly recommend the Harris Law Firm to anyone I know!

The Harris Law Firm is probably one of the worst in the state of Colorado practicing family law. I’ll frame my review in terms of their values page on their website, and demonstrate how much of a joke it is. Kathryn Nelson is not a knowledgeable lawyer, but instead is incompetent. She frequently had to ask the court about rules and procedures and does not even know the definition of hearsay! They certainly don’t care about children, and their only focus is on making sure that their clients get what they want, and strictly enforcing the letter of law, not even taking into account the spirit of the remarks that *the judge* made as part of his or her ruling. They do a terrible job of communicating, failing to return phone calls and e-mails to the opposing party, thereby eliminating any possibility of out-of-court negotiations. They often act unilaterally. They will only settle things in court, and will often file motions only hours or minutes, without doing proper consultation of the other party, skirting the lines of ethics. They also have no problem running up needless costs, but they’ll assure you that they’ll get the other party to pay. Of course, this doesn’t happen, and so you’re stuck with a huge bill. If you have lots of money to burn and think you can win a war of attrition, The Harris Law Firm are your people. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere. I didn’t hire these idiots, but my ex-wife did. My divorce drug out a long time, but eventually their incompetence caught up to them, and I got exactly what I wanted.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend The Harris law firm. I contacted this firm to seek help in a custody battle. After giving them evidence that my child was in grave danger and showed them text messages from my ex-wife telling me that her current husband had threaten to kill my 3 year old son if she was to leave him along with hard pieces of evidence, the lawyers did nothing. I only got a huge bill for a job they didn’t do correct and they still expect their money like if I was 100% satisfied. I hired them because I needed someone aggressive that would take this case serious and I saw that there website said they had aggressive lawyers with experience. But once we went to court I saw no aggressiveness and only gave me a run around and putting excuses of what happened. Thanks to that i had to drop my case because they charged me over $10,000 in less than 3 months. I started with $2,500 down and within 2 weeks they wanted another $2,500 ant the charges kept increasing. I told them from the beginning what I wanted from this case and they were okay with it. Once I paid them they told me that what I wanted wasn’t going to be possible because that judge would approve even though I had text messages where it showed my 3 year old son’s life was in danger. Now my evidence is “not valid” because of the amount of time that has passed. AlI got from this experience was a huge bill and no help in winning custody of my son. Definitely not friendly and I wouldn’t recommend this not even to my worst enemy.

I had a pretty scary experience with this law firm that almost cost me paternal rights to my son. I went with the firm because of the name and how well marketed they are in Denver. My case was a bit unique since it involved paternity across multiple states (my son was born in Colo but then was moved without my knowledge). Once I was in their system and on retainer I seems to be a "number" and not a case. I have now heard from multiple Denver family law attorneys that Harris Law Firm has metrics for closing cases whether or not it is in the best interest of their clients, and this resulted in me getting some bad advice to relinquish jurisdiction in Colo. FYI, after hiring a new attorney we were able to keep jurisdiction in Colorado and I now see my son here! After I sought new counsel I called one of the partners at the Harris Firm to bring up the issues of being advised to relinquish jurisdiction in Colorado and being told that "infants can only bond with females". Even the partners at the firm had little concern over the advice I was given or how to improve their level of service to clients. There are a lot of lawyers out there and there is a difference!! Find someone that will fight for your rights.

OMG, what a VERY VERY unprofessional law firm. I was treated like I was a waste of their time from the receptionist to customer relations...including my lawyer who reminded me of a high school ring leader that bullied every one K-12. After filling out the application prior to visiting with the lawyer I stated clearly not to mail anything to my home address, I even wrote in on the application so it was stated twice, these supposed professionals send chocolates to my house. WTF, they started a fire in my house. My boyfriend came home two weeks prior and broke up with me, I was just visiting a lawyer to see what my rights were, and they new this and still sent chocolates to my house. I will be reporting this law firm to the BBB. If I were you, I would steer clear of this unprofessional law firm.

I was very disappointed with the way that the Harris Law Firm handled my case. The firm was expensive, difficult to keep on task, and the attorneys rarely dedicated the needed time to handle important things that came up. In the weeks leading up to the final hearing, the firm personnel were increasingly difficult to reach and ultimately, with only three weeks prior to hearing, they filed a surprise, uncoordinated withdrawal. This threw the case into chaos and completely changed the hearing schedule, adding months to the process with much additional emotional and financial pain. I would not hire this firm again under any circumstances.
