I hired Mr. Groat for my divorce initially and hired him again for a change of custody a year later, both when he was at Harris Law. His advice and guidance is second to none and I will continue to use him for any family law matters.

Travis groat is an amazing lawyer to work with- he handled my case like he was doing it for his own child, he was there every step of the way after a long 1.5 year custody case- Working with Travis on my daughter’s case was a blessing, He was always in contact, and at every hearing- He digs into your case and will know it like the back of his hand- he is so compassionate and professional.

Travis Groat makes time for his clients and is always more than prepared. For it being my first time in the court room, I felt confident and understood what the next steps were every step of the way due to Travis’ due diligence. He listens and is honest. I would recommend Travis to anyone looking for assistance with child custody.
