Profoundly caring and attentive lawyer!

Professional and Familial

I was in a motor vehicle accident Summer of 2016 and not being from New England trying to find an attorney to represent me would I was in a motor vehicle accident Summer of 2016 and not being from New England, trying to find an attorney to represent me would be rather challenging. I reached out ...to a colleague / friend of mine and he recommend Michael Harriman. I sent an email to him and within a half an hour, there was a connection. Michael understood my relentless frustrations, I sent over the photos of my car accident and that same day – it was a new found relationship that I knew that I didn’t have to worry about. Michael is approachable and the entire process so easy that I knew everything would work out in the long run. His only requirement is transparency because he is advocating for his clients. I kept Michael abreast of every single appointment to every scan that way he just had to collect the data to document. My case was closed out before my 1 year anniversary of my accident and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Michael Harriman is a true testament to the law and his clients. Great attorney and I would refer him to my family and friends.

excellent lawyer

“I turned to Attorney Michael Harriman at Harriman Law to pursue a personal injury claim on my behalf after I was seriously injured in a car accident. I sustained a head injury in the accident after a negligent driver ran a stop sign and crashed into my car. Michael zealously pursued the claim – r...esolving my claims against the negligent driverwhile also convincing my employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurer to accept liability and to (finally!) pay me the wage and medical benefits I was entitled to and that my family so desperately needed after a prolonged absence from work. Throughout the case, Michael was professional, diligent, communicative, and was a fierce advocate in pursuit of my claim. I cannot recommend Michael Harriman and Harriman Law more emphatically. If you have been injured and are in need of a Massachusetts personal injury lawyer who is easy to work with, gets great results, and does everything he can to pursue your case then you should call Michael at Harriman Law right away!”

Professional

Michael helped me with an employment case. Not only did Michael have my best interest at heart, he was there for me professionally whenever I needed. My case was emotionally draining and on my hardest days, I would call Michael for assistance and he always made me feel like I had someone else fightin...g for me as hard as I was. Michael Harriman was the best choice for my legal decisions.

Employee Law case- very grateful for Michael!!

Michael represented me in an employee law case. Michael helped me even when we weren't sure we had enough evidence, because he believed what right is right and wrong is wrong. He handled very sensitive issues with care and compassion. From the first phone call and meeting he made me feel like I had c...ontrol, but was not alone in this, and made me feel comfortable. He always explained what was happening step by step and complete honesty. He was professional, down to earth, and personable. Michael helped me through a stressful/difficult situation and supported me as not just a client, but as a person throughout. Even through multiple phone calls and e-mails from me, he brought a sense of calm and understanding. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for an attorney. From my experience, he knows the law very well, he loves what he does, and truly cares about each client. You can tell he works for you and for what is right. It is shown in his work that he doesn't do this for the paycheck, but for the love of his career and justice.
