This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent and Reliable Advocate

Attorney Brian Harris has represented us for eleven years on insurance related tort cases. He is a remarkable and experience lawyer whose advice and strategy is on point. As a small business owner, mainly transportation, I found him accessible and respond promptly with great and competent office staf...f Laura Colantuoni. we were duly impressed and satisfied with his work, and the extra mile he always went on our behalf. Therefore, we would objectively and wholeheartedly recommend Brian for all individual or companies looking for a strong, knowledge and dedicated legal advocate.

Outstanding professionalism

Spoke with Mr. Harris today about my condo insurance litigation matters. I found Brian extremely knowledgeable in this area. In 10 min, he was able to advise the course of actions and offer additional consultation service should I require. This level of professionalism is truly remarkable, setting... his firm apart from all other firms I called.

Attorney Harris was excellent!

I own a few Real Estate brokerage offices as well as a Residential Property Management company in the Boston area. Over the past 8 years, in addition to using Brian as lead council for my defense, he has also advised me on many other cases and business situations as well. All of my interactions wit...h him have been positive. Not only is Brian an extremely competent, knowledgeable and very experienced attorney, I also found him to be accessible and likeable. Brian has a way of taking what seem like complex legal situations and explaining them in manner that is understandable to those not within the law profession. I highly recommend using Brian's services.

Extremely Competent Attorney

I am a former client who was completely new to personal injury when I contacted Brian. He made me feel at ease immediately and took the necessary time to ensure that I was aware of all options throughout the legal process. At the close of my case I was completely satisfied with the outcome. In add...ition to his great perspective, he is also just a really good person. Brian is a professional in every sense of the word and I would refer his services to family and friends with no hesitation. If more lawyers conducted themselves in the manner he does, the profession wouldn't get such a bad rap!

Brian Harris is dogged in his determination to leave no stone unturned. A close friend was accidentally killed in an auto accident , while riding as a passenger in another's auto. The conventional insurance coverage was the absolute minimum however Brian poured over everything and developed a case ...which Led to an award to the mothers children of 15x . His ability to work for the survivors is second to none.
