Alexandra Dianne Harwin

I consulted with Ms. Harwin last week and although she was on her way to a meeting she took time to listen. She said her firm had a policy of needing a formal intake done before accepting a case. Today, Sonia from her firm called and did the intake. Sonia took over an hour to listen to my story ...of a complex/ atypical civil rights/personal injury/ domestic violence situation. Sonia was sensitive and respectful. She called me back a couple hours later, to say their firm had declined to take my case- partly because of their current caseload. I appreciated the serious attention/consideration they gave to me- which is more than most attorneys/firms have given me. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt it was partly due to a lack of open-mindedness, and unwillingness to take a risk, in an area of the law, where my case falls - that lacks legal precedent for issues involved which caused the firm to refuse my case. I do not think it was Alexandra's decision alone- perhaps if she had her own firm she might have made the leap to try my case.

Ms Harwin handled my case last year in association with one of her senior partners. I found their representation to be exceptional. Ms Harwin did a fine job of moving the case forward. She was thorough - she reviewed all materials I submitted for discovery, and made sure we met deadlines. She wa...s responsive - she responded to phone calls and e-mails on same business day, if not within an hour. She was professional - on time for appointments, and was patient in answering my questions. She provided sound, well researched advice. In short, a very competent attorney, whom I would strongly recommend.
