He's Excellent

Robert Harris is a serious attorney that pays close attention to detail. Nothing will slip by him....and I mean nothing. He thinks fast and is very crafty so the opposition will have to wake up 2 days early to catch him. He's honest and upfront about the likelihood of victory so that you don't wast...e your time. He's also very easy to talk to and keeps you informed about every detail of the case so you can make good decisions; also doesn't nickel and dime you in the billing process. I wouldn't have anyone else represent me in employment matters except Attorney Harris and his firm. Not only did he win my case, but he's won every case I've referred to him since.

  • 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.
