    Jason Cruz

    Jason Cruz is an Associate Attorney at The Harris Law Firm’s Denver office. An experienced trial lawyer and passionate advocate, Jason handles a range of cases involving divorce, child custody, domestic violence, and other family law matters.

    A Texas native who has always been driven by a desire to help and serve others, Jason attended the University of Houston to obtain a degree in Hospitality. However, after a few years of working in restaurants and planning events, he wanted to impact people’s lives in ways beyond serving fancy foods and found that law school would allow him to start a career where he could provide meaningful support to people facing their toughest and darkest days. He went on to earn his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law, where he also served as a board member for the public interest law student group, a member of the Hispanic student group, member in OUTLaw, and helped plan a public interest conference.

    Over the course of his legal career, Jason has focused exclusively on criminal and family law. Prior to joining our firm, he was an accomplished defense attorney with extensive experience in high-stakes litigation. This includes litigating criminal cases against the Attorney General’s office, cases involving murder charges, the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act (COCCA), and other serious felonies. Additionally, during his time as a Public Defender, Jason secured numerous not-guilty verdicts at trial.

    As an Attorney at The Harris Law Firm, Jason has cultivated a reputation for providing meaningful, realistic, and solution-oriented counsel. He prioritizes personal attention from initial meetings he sets immediately with new clients through the life of their cases and takes the time to listen and uncover their goals and expectations. He also leverages his experience to help clients identify key issues in their cases and the strengths and weaknesses of their positions and provides the insight-driven counsel they need to make informed decisions about their futures.

    Beyond his legal acumen, Jason is known for his passionate advocacy and personability. As an outgoing person with hospitality training, he is adept in establishing candor and close-working relationships that put clients at ease, allow them to openly voice their concerns and questions, and become active participants in their cases. His people skills are also invaluable when dealing with difficult judges, opposing counsel, or when hearings or negotiations go off track. In all matters he handles, he strives to make the legal system understandable to non-lawyers and to always stand up for his clients’ rights and interests.

    Outside of the courtroom, Jason is a sports enthusiast who grew up playing all kinds of sports. He even hosted a sports talk show for his school’s radio station during his time at the University of Houston. When he is not advocating for clients, you can find him enjoying his free time volunteering, snowboarding, or engaging in some new random sports hobby – the latest of which is boxing.

    Hear From Our Happy Clients

      I would like to thank the team for your patience with us through what has been a very difficult process for us both.
      “We had a successful conclusion to all of our work this morning. The court commented on the fine work that had been done using a combination of the collaborative process and our independent efforts. I would like to thank the team for your patience with us through what has been a very difficult process for us both.”
      - Mark
      I AM THRILLED and relieved and so ready to move forward.
      “I AM THRILLED and relieved and so ready to move forward. Thank you, everyone, for your hard work on behalf of my sweet daughter. God bless you!!”
      - Jeni
      My family and I deeply appreciate it.
      “Thank you both for everything you have done to help me have my daughter in my life. My family and I deeply appreciate it.”
      - Paul
      I followed your instructions to a T and felt completely prepared to state my case.
      “Dear Angie and Janet, I want to thank you for your incredible help and advice last week as I prepared for my emergency restricted parenting case for protection of my two children.”
      - Marisa D.
      He did not spend time wasting time and driving up the bill.
      “Dan Droege of the Harris Law firm handled a "grandparent right"s for us. From the initial intact through final resolution, Dan was thorough, professional, empathetic, and sensitive to our needs. He did not spend time wasting time and driving up the bill. He proceeded in a way that brought the "other side" to the table to obtain resolution thus avoiding a costly court battle. I highly recommend the Harris Law Firm in general and Attorney Droege in particular.”
      - James
      He was always honest with me about what to expect
      “I feel like choosing to work with The Harris Law Firm was the best possible decision I could have made for my representation in a difficult matter. I worked with Eric and was very impressed. He was always honest with me about what to expect and it was very spot on with the outcome. He also didn’t waste my time or my finances with excessive communication but was available for me and kept me informed about the status of my case. I also worked with the paralegal Julie and she was always very kind and efficient.”
      - Melanie
      These folks are highly recommended in my book
      “Jennifer and her paralegal Cat were outstanding. They communicated with me in a timely, respectful, and professional manner. Larry worked well with me by being flexible when I asked if I could wait to pay the bill since I knew we were finishing up my case. Jennifer is talented. I'm very pleased with her attention to detail and willingness to engage when I expressed that I didn't understand something. These folks are highly recommended in my book - I will certainly pass on this firm's name and my positive experience.”
      - I.R.
      I would choose them for any legal issue.
      “My first consultation with the Harris Law Firm (Jennie Wray) was an absolute delight. Jennie Wray helped me better understand my legal situation and patiently explained the various directions I could consider. Her extensive legal background offered insights into past legal precedent & court (judge) rulings. At the conclusion of the call she clearly explained the options for hiring her to handle my case - both the retainer fee & hourly charge. The Harris Law Firm is very transparent with their legal & billing services. I would choose them for any legal issue.”
      - Jimmy
      She is the best of the best!
      “I had an extremely complicated legal situation to maneuver and a very difficult, combative ex-spouse. Jennifer Workman was my attorney at Harris, and worked miracles in terms of handling my case and moving towards a settlement that has provided true freedom and peace of mind for me. She is the best of the best! I am confident that she could handle ANY other case, as mine was truly terrible and I had zero hope of settlement. It was a long road to get to this point, but I’m happy to say that I’m on the other side now. You will be too!”
      - Erica
