Excellent Lawyer

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.

Not Recommended

Mr. Harris agreed to file a case for me. However, due to his delay, the time for filing expired. He was very unprofessional and unaware of the law. Very disappointing. He is not recommended.

Disappointed

A coworker recommended that I contact Terris Harris of Sweet and Associates. I had been in an accident. During the initial consultation, Terris Harris seemed so professional and concerned about my legal matter. After I provided the firm with all the necessary records to review my case, my perception ...of Terris Harris began to change. Months went by before I ever heard from anyone in the firm. I would periodically call to get an update, and my calls were never returned by Terris Harris. He did not respond to emails. There was a complete lack of communication on his behalf, and I began to feel discouraged and disrespected. When people are faced with a legal matter and they don't work in the legal field, it is an overwhelming process. I thought that I had gone to a lawyer who actually cared about me and my case, but I was wrong. I am still recovering physically from the accident, and the emotional pain I have from being betrayed has caused me to seek counseling. He dragged his feet on my matter, and my statute of limitations was almost up before he filed an action. My case is still pending. The way Terris Harris treated me makes me want to give up. Clients are necessary for a lawyer to have a job. My advice to Terris Harris is to be genuine and honest with all of your clients and prospective clients. If you really don't want to help them, then please let them know in a timely manner so that they can seek another lawyer before their statute of limitations runs out.

Excellent Attorney

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.
