defense of my son

My son has a mental illness. He was with a different attorney who was pushing him to take a deal with the prosecutor and go to prison. Thank Heavens the Lord directed me to Robert Harris!! My son is now getting the treatment he needs for his mental illness and has a future ahead of him that he ne...ver would have had had he gone to prison. He was calm with him, explained everything to both of us, and his confidence was very helpful for the both of us. He has made a tremendous difference in our lives.

Great trial attorney

Mr. Harris is among the most respected attorneys in Fort Myers. He is well respected by judges, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and juries. I have personally seen Rob get not guilty verdicts in cases that were nearly impossible to win. He always gives his all to his clients and treats everyone wit...h respect.

Lawyer Robert Harris was Fantastic!

I am from Boston, Massachusetts and was involved in a car collision while driving under the influence of alcohol in Fort Myers, Fla. I contacted Robert and his affiliates to see what trouble I was in. Myself and my father interviewed two other lawyers before overwhelmingly decided that Rob was our gu...y. He did not disappoint. He was both understanding in my situation personally and professional with a pleasant sense of humor that kept my mind at ease through a tough time. I could have done jail time. I DID NOT. This is because of Mr Harris....Period!. Robert suggested that I seek rehabilitation back in Massachusetts and gave me the answers that I needed. Through his advice I got through this! Robert always called me back, answered my calls- and literally kept me in the loop. Thanks Mr Harris...I can't thank you enough...Richard

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
