Relentless, Strategic, and Compassionate—The Attorney You Want When Everything’s on the Line I had the privilege of being represented by Julia Harris during a high-conflict, complex custody battle that stretched over two years. Throughout the entire process, Julia demonstrated an exceptional balance of fierce advocacy and level-headed strategy—exactly what a case like mine demanded. Julia is the kind of attorney who truly puts her client’s needs first. She doesn’t sugarcoat things—she gives you the advice you need to hear, even when it’s not easy. That honesty was critical in helping me make informed, strategic decisions in some of the most emotionally charged moments of my life. From day one, she worked to find amicable solutions wherever possible—always with the awareness that unnecessary litigation drains time, money, and emotional energy from everyone involved. But when it was time to fight, Julia showed up with intensity and grit. She fought for my kids like they were her own, and I never once doubted that she was fully invested in protecting what mattered most. When it came time for trial, she needed an entire rolling litigation bag just to carry the evidence and exhibits she had meticulously prepared to fight on my behalf. That level of preparation speaks volumes about how seriously she takes her cases—and her clients. I’ve worked with excellent attorneys in criminal defense, patent law, and a separate divorce case—and even among that strong group, Julia Harris stands out as one of the most exceptional attorneys I’ve ever been represented by. If you’re facing a difficult custody matter—especially one involving high conflict—you need someone who knows when to de-escalate and when to go to war. Julia Harris is that attorney. She’s not just a skilled litigator; she’s a steady hand, a clear voice, and a true advocate for families.
