Relationship: Friend

"I endorse Robert Harris. Mr. Harris is the founding partner of a successful and respected Jacksonville civil trial firm. He has decades of trial experience and has an excellent reputation among lawyers and judges across Florida as a highly-skilled and ethical litigator. Robert is also one of the most sincere, compassionate, and generous individuals I know. He gives back to the Jacksonville community through various civic organizations. It has been a pleasure getting to know Mr. Harris and his family over the past seven years. They are all wonderful people. I also have referred friends, family, and former clients to Mr. Harris's firm for legal assistance including workers' compensation cases. All have given me very positive feedback about the quality and result of his firm's work for them. I highly recommend Robert Harris."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
