Extraordinarily Superior, Excellently Skilled, Knowledgeable, Supportive and Results Proven Track Record Attorney

Richard Harris is an extraordinary, brilliantly skilled attorney who delivers amazingly positive results for his clients. Mr. Harris is extremely knowledge, empathetic, supportive, attentive to his clients needs as well as their situation and he absolutely outperforms any expectations the client may ...have. My case was in a such big mess created by my previous attorneys in a huge law firm, in which they paid little to no attention to my case, provided me with misinformation and dragged my case on for four years. They did not work in my interest and gave me the run around. I was recommended by a friend to go to Mr. Richard Harris. He immediately took charge of my case, set my case in the right path in a very short time. He personally fought for me so strongly in court that the judge ended up siding with Mr. Harris. I can personally vouch that my case survived only because of Mr. Richard Harris, how he expertly saved it and guided it back into the right direction. I have never experienced a lawyer fight so hard, so skillfully and strongly for his clients as Mr. Harris did for me. In my opinion, he is the finest lawyer in his field. I would wholeheartedly recommend everyone before they go anywhere or if their current case is going nowhere or their case is going not in their favor, to simply pick the phone and go to Mr. Richard Harris who will personally provide the best results for their case. As a sole practitioner, Mr. Harris takes time and care not only about knowing your case but he is also empathetic of your situation, so you finally feel that you not out there fighting alone, instead you have a legal guardian angel who will take you to victory. The team that support Mr. Harris is easily accessible, responsive and they attentively listen to your needs or concerns. Mr. Richard Harris is a class act, and impeccably skilled attorney who genuinely works for his clients to get the best results. Thank you Mr. Richard Harris for everything.

Very professional, caring attorney

Mr. Harris was my lawyer and I have to say he was outstanding to work with during my Workers Comp case! He was very professional and took the time to explain all the things I did not understand. He was always very thorough with checking in on me throughout my case and making sure that everything was ...in order when it came to documentation and my general well being as I healed.

Treated me like family

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a family member rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Mr. Harris fought hard for me. He went ab...ove and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. I have reccomended Mr. Harris to several of my family members and friends.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Harris represented me on 3 cases in the past. I was googling Mr. Harris because I called his office with a new case and they said in his office he wasn't there.......Mr. Harris if you read this just want to say that you are the greatest lawyer ever and please come back soon. I will always appre...ciate everything you did for me and my family. God Bless

Mr. Harris come back soon!

Attorney Harris and his team provided excellent and quality service. I always felt that my needs were met and that the firm was invested in me and my case. They were easily accessible, got back to me quickly, aggressive and got me the results that I wanted. Mr. Harris, his associates, and his staff ...all produced the quality of an attorney that anyone would want when hiring a workers comp attorney. Looking forward to Mr. Harris coming back soon.
