Customer's reviews

Blessed is all I can say when I think about my experience with Cindy!! I have hired many attorneys in my lifetime, however, I have never met anyone like her. She automatically treats you like family and fights for you like you totally are. She has so much knowledge that it is unbelievable. When you meet her you will see how kind she is, but in a court room she's a beast, she doesn't let anyone get away with anything and she stands for justice. I read a few comments here on how she just wants money, that's totally incorrect, she of course has to get paid but she'll work with you and your budget and let you know what she can do... If people are expecting the world for lose change then maybe they shouldn't hire an attorney.. We love you Cindy, thank you for all you do!! ~ Frederick W
Harris family law is truly a family affair. I was in a toxic marriage that I was unable to separate myself and my son from. I had been through 3 different family law attorneys, prior to finding Laurel and her mother Cynthia. Both women were sharp, organized, and professional. When faced with the sticky entanglement of separating from a spouse who would rather see me suffer, both women, including their office staff, Thomas, were responsive, and always available to guide me through the manipulation my ex husband was trying to impose upon me. They helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. They secured my spousal support, child support, and an agreement for me to be repaid what my ex husband had taken from me in our business dealings. They were honest, caring, and direct, and always available when I needed them. I would recommend no other than these women, who are champions of their clients, and the children who are victims in an unjust family court system. ~ Veronica O
My experience with Cynthia Ann Harris is compassion, driven and passionate about Family Law. For me, she was always available to answer questions, provide empowerment and ground me in reality, not allowing my emotions to take control. Honestly, she was always available, always answered her phone directly and responded to emails promptly. She is trusting, like a friend. She filled my heart with unconditionally love to support and guide me during a challenging-pivotal -transitional time in my life. She listened, she guided and she provided support to help me gain clarity of my Rights and the legal steps I needed to take. Much gratitude for my connection with Cythnia Ann Harris, she has been an Angel Guide for Me. Thank you! ~ kimberly j

Questions & Answers

Do you handle prenuptial or postnuptial agreements?
Absolutely. We draft and review prenups and postnups that clarify property, support, and business interests under California law. Our process emphasizes full disclosure, fair terms, and enforceability—so couples start or continue marriage with clarity and peace of mind.
Can you help with emergency protective or restraining orders?
Yes. We prepare, file, and argue Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) requests quickly, often the same or next court day. We also defend against improper orders and represent clients at the hearing to seek or contest long-term protection.
How do you approach high-conflict custody cases?
We combine firm courtroom advocacy with child-focused solutions. Our team gathers school, medical, and caregiver records, works with evaluators when appropriate, and pursues parenting plans that prioritize stability while minimizing ongoing conflict and cost.
Do you offer virtual consultations for North County families?
Yes. Harris Law Office, APC provides phone and video consultations for clients in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Encinitas, and nearby communities. Virtual meetings let us review documents, outline options, and map next steps while protecting your privacy and schedule.
