Excellent lawyer

I recently had the pleasure of working with Harris Gilbert (Gilbert & Smallman) on a legal matter, and was very impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for us. From the very beginning, Harris demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal issues involved in our case and a clear strategy for how to get it quickly resolved. He kept us informed and updated throughout the process, and always took the time to answer our questions and address our concerns. One thing that really stood out to me about Harris was his ability to anticipate and navigate potential obstacles in our case. He was always one step ahead, and his attention to detail and preparation quickly helped us achieve a successful outcome. In addition to his legal skills, Harris was also a pleasure to work with on a personal level. He was always professional, courteous, kind, and respectful, and he truly cared about our well-being. Overall, I cannot recommend Harris highly enough. If you're looking for a skilled and dedicated attorney who will get it done, Harris is the one to call.

Professional job. Thank you.

The Best Attorney you could ever find!

From 2015 when I first met Mr. Gilbert he has been on top of everything. He is super nice respectful and diligent in his work. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He treats you like family! Fast forward 2019. I forgot all about my case and Mr. Gilbert tracked me down with great news of a settlement! Many lawyers would not have done that. I am pleased with his service and I highly recommend his law firm.

Professional and Heartfelt Lawyer

I was in severe car accident and I had traumatic injuries. On the top of that I had tons of medical bills. I was advised to seek for legal help and to call Mr. Gilbert. From the very beginning Mr. Gilbert was taking care of my bills, so I could take better care of my health. Mr. Gilbert is a very professional and a very heartfelt person; knowing that I am hurt, he or his assistant Ana would check on me how my recovery was going. He did tremendous job on my case and I highly recommend Mr. Gilbert for your legal needs!

Traffic ticket efficiency & great person

Harris Gilbert was professional, friendly, responsive, prompt and courteous in communicating. He instilled confidence. After taking the information he required and discussing with his supportive colleagues he basically said 'leave it with me'. A few weeks later next thing I knew the ticket problem was gone with no penalty. Of course, I don't want another traffic ticket but he left me feeling like I need to get another ticket just to be able to work with him again!!! Happy customer.
