Will actually talk to you without taking your money first
I'm dealing with two issues with contractors. It's our first time having to go to court. We're not quite sure if our case should be in small claims or in district court and trying to find a lawyer which handles what we're dealing with has been trying. I'm sure there are plenty out there but you...

Legal Aid of NC/ Illegal Eviction
I was contacted by Mr. Lord due a call to Legal Aid Of NC, who referred him to call me. He was totally out of his league in answer to any of my questions and 'Guessed' as to what his ideas where. He actually said he wasn't sure when I asked a few questions and said he would have to talk to 'someone e...
Deborah, I'm sorry you are unhappy with the pro bono service I provided you. I knew you were unhappy with my analysis at the time, which is why I promised to solicit a second opinion from the folks at Legal Aid (who deal with these issues full-time). I did so, and I understand that the Legal Aid attorneys agreed with my conclusions. I volunteer my time to help Legal Aid clients. This is the first time I have ever had a client respond with anything but gratitude. I note that I called you literally within minutes of receiving your file, and that we spoke only one time. I did my best to help you, but I would have been happy to have your case assigned to a Legal Aid lawyer or another volunteer if you had told me you were unsatisfied. Again, I am sorry that you disagree with my professional opinion. If you would like someone else to take a look at your case, I would still be happy to put you in touch with another Legal Aid lawyer or volunteer. Best, Harrison

Excellent. Very Clever, Strategic, always responsive.
Understood my problem intuitively. Came up with a strategy and kept me up to date every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable, aggressive, but still had a strong sense of not crossing the line that can become uncomfortable. I strongly recommend Harrison.
