Carolyn B. Harris, Attorney at Law
(831) 372-3058

Realistic, Compassionate Monterey Bay Attorney

Family Law and Divorce ° Business and Corporate Law ° Property Issues

 My first priority is always 
 communication. You have a right to
   know what is going on with your case.
I take the time to explain the issues
and all new developments to you and answer your questions.

I always return phone calls promptly.

At the law office of Carolyn B. Harris, Attorney at Law, I understand that divorce is an emotional time, and it can be a financially draining process. I have the background to offer you experienced, effective legal representation, and I work hard to keep your costs down.

At my law firm, I represent clients in a variety of legal areas, including all family law issues,
commercial and residential landlord-tenant matters, business transactions and disputes, personal injury claims, property disputes, and construction defect settlements and litigation.

I focus on family law and divorce, but in any area, my background, experience, and legal philosophy are realistic, caring, and effective. Contact me for an initial consultation.

You need to be comfortable with your attorney.

When it comes to any legal issue—especially family law—you need to be comfortable with your attorney. First of all, you need to feel secure that your lawyer has the experience and skill to help you get your best resolution. What really makes the difference, however, is having a lawyer who will communicate with you, give you straight-forward, realistic advice, and be a calming influence in a difficult situation.

I earned my law degree in 1996 from the Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles, California. Prior to this, I received an undergraduate degree in criminal justice from Ball State University in Indiana. I have lived in California for more than twenty years and am committed to serving the people of this community.

Before establishing my own practice, I worked for three years as a family law research attorney with the Monterey family court system. While there, I developed a close relationship with employees of the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS), the court staff, and with the family law judges.

As a family lawyer, I understand the legal system, its adversarial nature, and its often limited options when it comes to resolving disputes. As a result, I encourage my clients to use alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation and collaborative law, whenever appropriate. In this way, clients can maintain better control over the outcome of their case, preserve workable relationships with opponents, and keep costs lower.

My firm’s reputation is built upon my commitment to my clients and my accomplished, effective representation. I provide clear communication regarding your full legal options and expected results.

From beginning to end, I handle all the details of your case so that, at any time, I am available to respond to any concerns that may arise. I encourage you to stay active throughout the process of your case. Contact the law firm of Carolyn B. Harris, Attorney at Law for an initial consultation.
