Top best Family Lawyers in ZIP 28112 | 9 available

When you ask anyone what the most important thing is in their life, the most popular answer is, “family.”  My answer to this question is no different.  We all define our “family” in a unique way, and like anything else, a family experiences change throughout the course of a person’s life.. If you’re looking for a Family Law attorney, it’s because your family is about to experience a change.  This may be for good or bad, for better or worse, but change means life, as you once knew it, is going to be different.  More likely than not, this change may be overwhelming and it will bring some level of stress and anxiety with it.. The role of a Family Law attorney is to help you navigate through this time–from a legal standpoint as well as a personal standpoint.  I watched as my aunt and uncle went through the emotional ups and downs of adopting a daughter from another country.  I experienced the eventual, long anticipated happiness that came with the finalization of their adoption.  I’ve watched as loved ones experienced the many emotions that come with the end of a marriage.  These experiences drew me to Family Law.. Helping people, truly listening to a person’s problems, and finding a solution is my passion.  I love listening to people’s stories.  I love hearing a person’s history, hearing about their family, hearing where they began and where they are now.  This passion for helping people is what I bring to each and every client’s case.. Before joining Sodoma Law, I practiced with Legal Aid of North Carolina.  I immediately began representing clients in the courtroom and in negotiations with the opposing side.  Each of my clients faced stressful and sometimes overwhelming change.  Among other things, I represented clients in obtaining domestic violence protective orders against abusive family members and I represented clients in securing custody of their children against a partner who was unfit to care for their children.. I understand that whether my client is experiencing what they would describe as a good or bad change, they need a compassionate, knowledgeable, strong advocate to help them navigate this time in their lives.  They need an advocate who will listen to their story and help them achieve their goals, whatever those goals may be.  I will listen to your story, I will take time to understand your goals, and I will cater my approach to your case depending on what you need from me during your time of need.. I’ve always had a desire to help people, and at Sodoma Law, I have the opportunity to help my clients overcome change in their family, define their “new normal,” and come out even better on the other side.

For over 25 years I have been and continue to be a dedicated and zealous advocate for my clients. I truly love family law and enjoy being in the courtroom.  I have met thousands of clients in crisis, listened to their stories and provided advice that I felt was the best for each client in their unique situation.  I conduct client led consultations that allow folks to tell me their story so that I can provide guidance tailored to each family.  Born and raised in North Carolina, and practicing in Union County since 1998, I have practiced every day in front of judges and other lawyers in the same district.  This means that each client benefits from each and every day of experience I have had in front of the very Judge that may be assigned to your case.

During his years working for the Council For Children’s Rights, attorney Kenneth R. Harris Jr. was exposed to many different aspects of family law, including its difficulties and repercussions on children and their families.. That experience convinced him a career practicing family law was right for him.. “I knew family law was the most natural fit and held the most interest for me,” Mr. Harris said.. Mr. Harris works hard to develop a personal connection with each of his clients. He sincerely wants to understand what their concerns are so he can better advocate for them and help them reach their goals in the divorce process.. “I believe I have a very good ability to read a client and understand who that person is,” he said, “which helps me get the results that client most desires.”. Mr. Harris is also realistic when he explains to clients what they can expect during their case.. “Expect nothing but honest communication and passionate advocacy from me above all else,” he said.
