My Journey to Serenity at Law
Serenity at Law, a solo practice is a firm that is anything but conventional; it's mission is rooted in the tacit knowing that there is better: better lawyering, better connection, better advocacy, better support, better conflict resolution and better precision and effective legal documents! Serenity at Law was started to achieve better for my clients and my communties.
The Spark of Change
Starting my post-graduate career in Philadelphia, PA, I gained experience in nonprofit roles and training in alternative dispute resolution. Learning the power of self-determination and action planning, I realized that true legal support empowers clients to clarify their needs and pursue what genuinely matters to them—not just follow a lawyer’s advice without question. Early on, I sensed I wasn’t the typical lawyer; Serenity at Law was born from a desire to redefine how we engage with law and address our needs.
A personal loss further deepened my commitment to estate planning. Losing family taught me the importance of preparing for life’s inevitable moments. Many of us overlook planning because we assume we’ll always be young and healthy. But life doesn’t always work that way. When the unexpected happens, do you want your family to experience conflict, or your health decisions made without your input? Neither do I.
Founding Serenity at Law
Driven by these experiences, I founded Serenity at Law to do what’s right for our families and communities. My vision is clear: to create a space where clients can address their concerns, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for a future that reflects grace and dignity.
I am particularly passionate about helping Muslim brothers and sisters ensure that their estate plans align with Sharia principles. It is also paramount that my work supports underserved communities in achieving intergenerational wealth transfer.
At Serenity at Law, I go beyond drafting documents. We engage in a holistic process that embraces the full spectrum of human experience—hopes, fears, values, and dreams. With a foundation in legal expertise, cultural understanding, empathy, and personal growth, I guide clients through a process that not only secures their legacy but also helps them refocus on what matters most—right now, not merely in anticipation of the end.
A Personal Invitation
Everyone has unique stories, values, and aspirations. That’s why I craft estate plans that reflect the individual behind them. My approach is not the typical, transactional estate planning process but a thoughtful journey that redefines what estate planning can mean—not just for what happens after life, but for how you live it.
In our 4-6 week process, we’ll start by discussing your priorities, gather important details, and design a comprehensive plan that aligns with your values. I guide you in selecting an estate plan that best fits your needs. Once finalized, you'll find yourself more prepared—not only to face the end but to live fully now.
In founding Serenity at Law, my goal was to create more than just a law firm. I wanted to establish a haven of compassion and proactive planning—a place where clients feel empowered to live fully in the present, with the peace of mind that comes from having an effective plan.

My name is Alexandra "Serenity" Harris, and I am the sole and soul founder of Serenity at Law, PLLC!
My journey into the area of estate planning is deeply personal, shaped by both my professional experiences and my own encounters with loss and spirituality. Holding a Juris Doctor from Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law and a background in Anthropology from Howard University, I bring a blend of legal acumen and cultural sensitivity to my practice.
My work with nonprofits in Philadelphia before founding my firm taught me the value of empathy, precision, advocacy, mediation, and restorative justice. As early as law school is when I started drafting wills, deeds, and examining the benefits of trusts for my clients and loved ones in my community. These experiences laid the foundation for my approach to estate planning: a process that transcends mere legal formalities to touch upon the essence of who we are and what we value most.
I see estate planning as an act of wisdom, as preparation for life's most significant transition. Therefore, at Serenity at Law, I aim to transform the traditional estate planning experience into one that truly reflects each client's unique life story, values, and aspirations. It's my mission to guide you through creating a legacy that speaks to your heart and provides for your loved ones in the most thoughtful way possible.
Let us support you in envisioning your legacy, stewarding your inheritance, and embracing the present moment. Your journey to graceful end-of-life planning starts here.
The public launch date of this site is March 1, 2024, coincidentally, the same day my father passed away in 2008. This website and any benefit from it is dedicated to my dearly beloved father, Jeffrey W. Harris.
May God bless Papa, even beyond the grave. May we learn the duas/prayers that sends peace and blessings to those we remember and cherish, who have finished living before we have. Amin
