Daniel P. Harris

Harris Bricken represented us on a last minute real estate dispute and they quickly achieved an incredibly favorable resolution for us. We always felt like they knew exactly what they were doing every step of the way, but beyond that, we also greatly appreciated their willingness to talk through pret...ty much everything with us. This firm absolutely deserves five stars.

I was in a difficult situation with my ex-employer in Beijing, didn't understand my position or my rights and generally felt unable to respond effectively. Dan helped me narrow the issue, find the right lawyer in the practice and understand exactly how the firm could help me. This was my first ti...me hiring a lawyer, and Dan's prompt, concise helpful replies convinced me that they could help (and they did!). Dan is the ideal person to consult with in deciding how to respond to a legal issue. He will talk honestly with you before you put down a retainer, and his firm has experts on a wide variety of cross-border legal issues (I asked for their help on labor issues in China).

After a significant amount of research we hired Dan to assist with China employment law and trademark issues. The work was excellent and cost effective. But the value add of representation by Dan Didn't end there. His deep knowledge of the potential pitfalls of doing business there and his commitme...nt to keeping his clients, and even others interested in stepping into the breach, informed of cons and scams saved our company and supplier a significant amount of brain damage at least, and more likely, tens of thousands of dollars. I definitely recommend Dan.

I used Dan and his law firm to form a company for me in China. But we ended up not forming a company when Dan recommended that we instead simply use a third party hiring agency in China to hire my two employees. This saved me tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees and tens of thousands of ad...ditional dollars I would have had to spend on running a company in China. Dan's recommendations proved that he is more interested in doing good work for his firm's clients than in grabbing a fast buck and that has convinced me to use his firm whenever it makes sense.

Our company found itself in a difficult situation with a Chinese manufacturer that we had been doing business with for a decade. Our corporate attorney felt inadequate to counsel us on issues dealing with Chinese businesses so, after much research and vetting of other attorneys, he recommended we wor...k with a specialist – Mr. Harris, whom he described as “the best in the business,” on the matter. So we did. Mr. Harris was absolutely amazing; his deep knowledge of and passion for Chinese business culture, manufacturing issues and legal matters quite frankly blew our mind. And we have been doing business in China for over 20 years. We felt like we finally found someone who “knows the ropes” of doing business in China, and understood the gravity of the problems we were dealing with, which was an enormous relief. His counsel was incredible and driven by his passion and curiosity to, first and foremost., help us to navigate these difficult circumstances, and succeed with our claim. Mr. Harris was committed and accessible at all times. Never once did we get the feeling he put his needs ahead of ours. He continues to stay in touch which we appreciate. Having worked with many attorneys over the years, I can honestly say Mr. Harris is one of the best and a pleasure to work with. He has earned my highest recommendation.
