About Jeffrey

Learn Jeffrey’s areas of practice.

I have a true passion for helping injured workers get the benefits and treatment they deserve.  Workers compensation can be a difficult system, so an injured person wants to make sure that they find an attorney who understands the difficulties they face and is willing to fight their battles for them.  As a second generation workers compensation attorney with over ten years of experience, I understand the ins and outs of this difficult system and am dedicated to doing everything in my power to get injured persons the results they deserve. I have previously been honored to have served as the chair of the Ohio Association for Justice's Workers Compensation section and I currently am the editorof the Ohio Workers Compensation Journal.  I have also previously served as a volunteer professor at the University of Cincinnati Medical School in the Department of Occupational Medicine and continue to give periodic lectures to physicians which help them to better understand workers compensation.  Most importantly, I strive to do what is right, and, in the workers compensation system, what is right is fighting for working people.

Complex workers compensation/ Personal Injury civil tort
I hired Jeffrey to represent me on a very complex workman's compensation/ Personal Injury case. With Ohio tort reform it's not possible to have both a workman's comp case and a personal injury claim. It is one or the other NOT BOTH. The convoluted structure my employer set up to evade compliance of the Ohio Workman's Compensation system made for a difficult case. Mr Harris and his firm took the Workman's Compensation side of the case. His efforts were tireless, he left no stone unturned. His staff was very helpful and knowledgable. Despite my case being disallowed I'm thrilled with the outcome and I definitely recommend him. If you have legal problems be sure to hire an attorney that specializes in the area of law and the jurisdiction where your case is. Thanks to the Harris Firm,
