Blake was incredibly helpful during a very difficult time in my life. I cannot count the number of times I told friends and family how grateful I was for him and his team. They handled the heavy lifting and took a tremendous amount of stress off my shoulders, which allowed me to focus on healing. Blake was communicative, easy to reach, and transparent about what to expect throughout the process. He set realistic expectations and ultimately exceeded them. I highly recommend him.

Blake and his entire team at Universal Law are simply AMAZING. I highly recommend Blake if you are looking for a lawyer that will have your best interest at heart and will give you the best possible outcome. I live in Tennessee and my son lives in Washington. In October of 2024 I found myself needing to hire a lawyer to represent me in our custody/parenting plan. Living in Tennessee, I wasn’t familiar with any firms or Washington Laws. After some research and calling several firms I ended up with another firm. After having paid them thousands of dollars and with our case already moving forward they ended up having to drop me as a client due to a “conflict of interest” on their end. Again I found myself at the beginning needing to find a lawyer with months into my case. I found Blake and when I called my first encounter was with Alejandra. After giving her a run down of where I was with my case and my concerns about hiring someone new since I was already out thousands of dollars, she made sure I was heard and reassured me that they would be able to take me as a client. Fast forward to a year later and that was the BEST decision!! From the very beginning they were very clear about the process and what would be next in my case. Blake had to step in with only about a week before my first hearing and he did so effortlessly. My case was complex and the other parent was not wiling to give me anything but with Blake’s support we were able to work things out to where I now get to spend time with my son. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my parenting plan. Not only did Blake make sure I got the best outcome but he also helped me get every single penny that I had paid the previous firm back. That absolutely speaks of Blake’s dedication for his clients. I will always be thankful for him and his entire staff. Blake and Alejandra were always available anytime I had questions or when I needed to change anything on our plan. They always had my interest as a priority and Blake worked efficiently to make sure that I would get the time with my son that was my right given our long distance. Again all I have for him and his entire team is gratitude for all of their hard work and commitment to my family. Thanks to them I will get to see my son and have the opportunity to have a meaningful relationship with him moving forward.

Let me start by saying that Blake, Alehandra, and the rest of the team were kind and direct throughout the entire process. Money was a concern for me, and they took the time to walk me through everything step by step. Having never been through this before, my goal was 50/50 custody — and they helped me achieve that goal. Understand that cases involve a lot of give and take, and it’s best to stay as kind as possible to the other party — unless Blake advises otherwise. They truly know the system. It isn’t perfect, but it’s always better to negotiate before going to trial. Blake and his team guided me through every step, and with their help, I was able to regain 50/50 custody of my child. I’m deeply grateful for their expertise, support, and compassion through one of the hardest times of my life.

My children are my absolute everything. When it comes to them, I needed someone who would help me achieve the best outcome in court for my family. Attorney Harris and his team listened to my situation and handled my case with care. I was kept informed on any updates and changes. If I had additional concerns or questions (which I had a lot of), they were addressed quickly which kept my mind at ease. Attorney Harris is more than just an attorney, he is a skilled advocate. My case is now closed, my children are happy and safe, and I am grateful for all the Universal Legal team has done for us.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for the review Kara! We wish you and your children the best and glad we could help you during a hard time. It was clear you love your children dearly and want the very best for them.

Attorney Harris and his team helped me with my legal claim. They were very professional and kind. They take things seriously. They kept me informed of every development regarding the claim, returned calls and emails promptly. I didn't feel they charged unnecessary fees, and were always clear with the accounts so I knew how the money was spent. I would recommend Attorney Harris to anyone going through this difficult and exhausting situation because you will always feel heard and understood, as if you were his only client looking out for your best interests.

Response from owner

Thank you, Alma. It was a pleasure representing you.

Mr. Harris is an exceptional attorney. He responded right away to my first inquiry (not to imply it's the standard expectation, but it was actually within an hour in my case) and that level of communication persisted throughout the duration of my contract with him, through his paralegal but also directly from Blake. - He is knowledgeable and experienced, and he also was honest with me even when it was not what I would've liked to hear- which made me trust him more than anything. He doesn't pander, or skew facts, or cater to unrealistic outcomes. - While trying to obtain a protection order, I was faced with legal representation from the opposing party. Mr. Harris came in and took things over and through his competence I was able to obtain a protection order that I desperately needed. - I had been far in over my head with all the legalese and I was able to let him take the reigns with full confidence and essentially just followed his instructions, based on my feedback as far as my needs and concerns- which were always listened to and never dismissed. - If I ever again have the unfortunate need to have an attorney he will absolutely be the one I call, and would feel confident referring him to someone if the need arose. I can't thank him enough.

Blake and the team at Universal Legal were great to work with and extremely helpful during a difficult time in my life. I don't anticipate needing a family law expert in the future, but if I do, Blake will be my first call.

If you’re reading this you must be in search of an attorney. With a million percent confidence I would tell you to hire Blake. While Blake did not personally represent me, little did he know that I was along for the ride while he helped our son William through a stressful divorce and parenting plan. Blake is an absolute impeccable person, he is every bit of kind and sincerely patient. He listens to every word being said, never talks at you and is genuinely on your side. Our son originally went with a firm in which billed him outrageously with nothing to show for that lost time resulting horribly given advice and gross debt. That unnamed incompetent firm, also provides a great sales pitch then ships you off to an assigned remote attorney that is ultimately there to run up the bill and string you along with false promises. He thankfully fired them and found Blake which was an absolute game changer. He is strategic, highly intelligent and was always available for our son which was invaluable. He will not back down to bullies and will always act with integrity. Responses from Blake and his associates were nothing short of stellar. Thanks to him, our son was able to establish a solid parenting plan and expedite the divorce amicably. Blake, if you happen to read this, we simply can’t thank you enough for helping our son through this process, you’re a remarkable human being and excellent at your craft. We would undoubtedly give you a million stars review to recommend your office for life, truly grateful thank you!!!

Thank you so much Carrie! We really appreciate the review and glad we could help William!<br>

My case had stalled for six months before I found Blake and his team. From our first interaction, I felt an immediate sense of relief. Blake was quick to take action and get things moving. He and his team were professional, attentive, and truly listened to my concerns. They guided me seamlessly through the process leading up to my court hearing. I had full confidence in their expertise and strong work ethic. What I appreciated most was Blake’s transparency, he kept me informed at every stage, including the potential costs, which he laid out clearly from the beginning. And honestly, he was worth every penny. I needed someone who would be assertive and advocate fiercely on my behalf, and Blake did exactly that. My case was ultimately settled, and I’m beyond grateful to Blake and his team for their dedication and support.
