Terris Caton Harris

Mr. Harris handled a truck accident case for my family. He did an amazing job. We initially had a tv advertising lawyers who wanted us to settle for $250,000. We did not feel good about that and the lawyers terminated our contract. Our Pastor asked us to reach out to him. He took our case and we... were able to settle it for $1.500,000.

Mr. Harris represented our family last year. Although we hired Dennis Sweet, the file was handed to him to handle. He explained the process, and gave us his personal cell phone number to contact him if there were any questions. He was always responsive with us. We understood that he could not ...always answer the telephone, but he always returned our call or had someone to return our calls within 24 hours. This man went above and beyond for us, and we receive amazing results when other lawyers told us we did not have a case.

I recently retained Mr. Harris. Every lawyer I consulted with prior to being referred to him wanted to charge me $5-15,000. He told me we had a very simple issue and he could handle with a simple phone call. He did. He didn't even charge us. He told us to be more careful and if we ever needed hi...m just give me a call in the future. What a wonderful man!!!!

Please know that I am not trying to bash this lawyer but I feel that I would be doing an injustice to clients or potential clients who have legal matters if I did not share my horrific experience with this lawyer and the firm he is employed by. In 2013, I hired this lawyer to represent me in a wrongf...ul death case after I lost my brother unexpectedly and in a tragic way. Keeping the client informed is not a priority for Terris Harris. I always had to constantly call the office to try and get an update on what was going on with my late brother's case. Mr. Harris would never return my phone calls or emails in a timely manner. Sometimes, it took 6 to 8 weeks for him to reply to my emails. As a matter of fact, there were many of my emails that he never replied to. The entire experience was a nightmare, and I was still grieving over losing my brother. Mr. Harris filed the lawsuit in time before the limits were up. However, he tried to reach settlements and did so underhandedly without my written consent and did not inform me that he was meeting with the defendants. Anything that concerns the fair representation of my late brother should be brought to my attention. Nothing should have been done without discussing it with me and getting my written consent because this is a legal matter. It was very disheartening to be treated so poorly by this lawyer. Although I did get a decent settlement, the settlement was not worth the pain, sleepless nights, frustration, and many shedded tears that I had while going through the litigation process. I would never recommend his services to anyone who wants to be treated fairly. Customer service is essential to any profession, but it is extremely essential when it pertains to the legal profession. Again, I'm not trying to berate this lawyer but it would be wrong for me not to tell the truth about my experience.
