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...'re going to have to pay $100 to $200 to find out if a lawyer is a fit for you in most cases. Everybody other than Harrison, only would say come in and pay our fee and we'll see if we can help you. Harrison asked us to type up the details of our issue. It was probably a good 2 or 3 page email. He read through it and called me. He spent 15 minutes on the phone advising to first go to small claims and if that didn't work out to file an appeal and how to do so. He is not the cheapest but gave a truthful answer as to why. It's not clear if we'll need his services before all this plays out. I don't usually write reviews unless I have a problem. However, in this realm it was refreshing have somebody care about doing the right thing without taking your money first and seeing if they can help you with what's right for them. Thank you Harrison. This is stressful having somebody like you take 10 minutes to listen and give us honest feedback helped a lot.

Above and Beyond

Words can't express my gratitude toward Harrison. He is top notch! For an attorney to go that extra mile as Harrison did shows true professionalism, passion for the position and care for his clients. Harrisons legal advice was stellar! He was not all about getting hired and making the most money ...off my company, he was more concerned with teaching me how to handle our situation. THAT to me is class! I will most definitely be recommending him to anyone that asks me about a collections attorney. He is on my list for future collection needs for sure! THANKS Harrison!

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...lse'. I feel he should not even be voulunteering at NC Legal Aid on issues he's not familiar with. As a previous landlord myself, I knew the answers he was giving me was wrong, even as a layman. I will report him to NC Bar Association and hope he is never assigned to another Legal Aid issue he is not even familiar with. His attitude was very cocky and wanted to overtalk my issues. Beware if he is your 'assigned' attorney unless he is in knowledgable in the legal issues you are having.

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.

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, effective lawyer.

My wife and I had an issue where we were bamboozled into buying something we didn't really need or want. Harrison got a good result quickly and efficiently, and relieved our anxiety. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend him t...o anyone needing any sort of lawyer.
