    Elizabeth Harrison

    Elizabeth Harrison is a family law attorney at The Harris Law Firm in Colorado, with particular strength in cases involving domestic violence and child protection. She brings a thoughtful, empathetic approach to matters where her clients' safety and family relationships are most at stake, paired with the negotiation and litigation skills needed to know when a case calls for one approach over the other.

    Elizabeth's path to law began early. Watching her parents work with their business attorney while she was growing up gave her a front-row seat to both the value and the limitations of legal representation, and it made her want to understand the law as an adult due to the importance of good legal representation. That motivation followed her to Whitworth College, where she studied International Business Communications and discovered a genuine interest in business law. Eager to build on that foundation and explore new opportunities, she went on to law school with a clear sense of purpose: to protect vulnerable individuals and help them achieve honest and fair outcomes.

    Elizabeth earned her J.D. from the University of Idaho College of Law. She is a member of the American Inns of Court, No. 130, as well as multiple state bar associations and trial lawyers' associations. Her academic background also includes international experience, having served as a People-to-People student ambassador to the former Soviet Union and having completed international studies at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Elizabeth also spent time as an adjunct professor at Boise State University, where she taught evening courses in Family Law, Evidence, Wills & Trusts, Bankruptcy, and Natural Resources Law to paralegal students in the university's Social Science Department.

    Elizabeth's approach to client work follows a clear, consistent process. She begins every case by truly listening to a client's story, drawing on active listening and empathy to understand both the legal and personal dimensions of their situation, and even connecting them with community resources when needed. From there, she works to understand what matters most to her clients and presents realistic legal options along with honest timelines and costs, so clients always know what to expect. She then follows up with thorough legal research to shape the right strategy for the case. Throughout the process, she stays organized and accessible, keeping clients, colleagues, and staff aligned through clear communication and a defined plan of action.

    Growing up in Idaho, Liz developed a strong work ethic through her entrepreneurial family and a deep appreciation for the Rocky Mountains, where she spent much of her time outdoors. Her family's business eventually expanded into Colorado, making Denver—and later Crested Butte—feel like home years before she launched her legal career in the state. Outside of work, she is a certified suicide prevention hotline worker and serves as a pro bono attorney for CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocate) volunteers. She speaks some French and Dutch, enjoys hiking and biking in her free time, and is the proud mother of three adult children.

      She helped me through such a difficult time
      “

      Jennie Wray was amazing. She hopped on my case at the last minute and helped me through such a difficult time. She was able to see what was happening without getting into too many details. She filed all the correct motions and had me prepared for testifying. Her team was a huge support and I never felt alone. I would recommend her over and over. You need a heart and logic going through a divorce and she was both of those things. Highly recommend Jennie Wray.

      The whole team was very responsive
      “

      I reached out to the Harris Law Firm for help with a prenuptial agreement. The whole team was very responsive throughout the entire process, helping us to expedite and get things done quickly in a tight time frame. Ally Herr was great to work with, and really helped to explain everything in a clear manner and answer any and all questions that I had. I would absolutely recommend this firm

      I will forever be grateful to Erika and the entire team
      “

      I can't say enough great things about The Harris Law Firm, and most importantly, my attorney, Erika Carter.

      I came to The Harris Law Firm during an urgent and incredibly difficult family law situation after realizing that my previous attorney was not properly representing me. From the moment I contacted the firm, I felt like I had finally found the help I desperately needed. They completed my intake the same day I called and quickly assigned my case to Erika Carter.

      By the very next day, Erika was already working on my case. She immediately stepped in, addressed and corrected issues left by my previous representation, and helped me face an extremely overwhelming situation head on.

      Erika listened to me. She believed in me, empowered me, advocated for me, and fought for what mattered most to me and my children. Throughout the entire process, I never felt like | was left wondering what was happening with my case. Communication with Erika and the firm was consistent and accessible, which meant so much during such a stressful time.

      Looking back, I genuinely fear that had I not made the decision to switch to The Harris Law Firm and Erika when I did, the outcome of my case and my life with my children could have looked very different.

      I will forever be grateful to Erika and the entire team at The Harris Law Firm for helping me through one of the most difficult chapters of my life. I would recommend Erika without hesitation to anyone facing a difficult or high conflict family law matter.
