She has been particularly active in the representation of real estate developers and home builders, medical practices and physicians, agribusinesses, and independent and franchised restaurant chains and other food service companies, as well as business entrepreneurs.

Although Ms. Harris's passion is serving as an advocate and helping clients navigate legal issues in and out of court, she also serves as a Subchapter V Trustee in small business cases filed under the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019. She was appointed by the Office of the United States Trustee in February 2020, and has been appointed as Subchapter V Trustee in 49 cases to date. In her capacity as Trustee, Ms. Harris's primary role is to mediate disputes between the debtor, creditors, and other parties of interest and facilitate the expeditious and economical confirmation of a plan.  While the Subchapter V Trustee role carries other statutory and fiduciary duties, which Ms. Harris performs, she enjoys working with the parties to find creative solutions to solve financial and legal issues and avoid protracted and expensive litigation.
