Great to work with!

We had Dave help us with a matter in District Court. The whole firm was amazing. The support staff was super helpful! Molly sent me the information we needed immediately. They were responsive and very comforting. Their clearly had a great relationship with the parties involved and we got the result... we wanted. The whole firm is the best and we are so glad we used them.

Highly Recommend

Since this was my first time ever needing legal assistance, George from the Harbin Law Office was outstanding. Their team (Molly) is truly dedicated to providing excellent service, courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. George handled my c...ase with the utmost professionalism and care at the hearing and got the results I was looking for. Thank you team!!

Professional, Communicative, Honest Work!

Dave & Molly have been excellent. I have an older case that I’ve needed help with and they have made the process seamless. They’re super communicative and were always available to answer any questions that I have. If you are in need of a professional, well respected & reassuring lawyer. Dave & his te...am are it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a horse in the race. Thank you Dave & Molly!

Excellent criminal defense lawyer.

David Harbin is an Excellent lawyer. Firstly, he is very knowledgeable about the in’s and outs of the legal system and judicial process. Secondly, he was able to visit me in jail in order to process the in’s and outs of my case, with exquisite attention to detail. People who have been incarcerated k...now and understand that it can be a very stressful process but he was able to ease a lot of my anxiety by giving me clear explanations to my many questions and concerns and confidently advise me on the best course of action. His sheer personableness also helped to quell a lot of my uncertainty although he does not sugar coat and gives a realistic expectations on the possible outcomes of my case. Thirdly, he was able to resolve my many complicated and intertwined legal issues in a very favorable way, using the evidence to its full advantage in order to win a favorable verdict in my case. 10/10 highly recommended.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
