Posted by Bridgett | December 30, 2020 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A KNOWLEDGEABLE, HONEST, RELIABLE, AND HARDWORKING ATTORNEY!

Jason Harris is a knowledgable, honest, reliable, and hardworking attorney that will fight hard for his clients. He responded immediately (answered the phone and had an appointment within an hour right before a holiday weekend) to our urgent needs for legal help with our home fire. The insurance, re...storation companies, contractor and fire industry proved to be ruthless and have some very dishonest people that take advantage of the traumatic event such as a fire regardless that you pay your premiums and your entitlements of your policy. My family is forever grateful to Jason E. Harris and his staff for saving our home, assuring it was rebuilt to a healthy state, making sure we had the same standards of living accommodations during our displacement, and recovering the monetary needs to move back to our beloved home.

Assistance with insurance claim

Jason did a terrific job working with us to maximize our benefit regarding a house insurance claim. He was easy to work with, professional, kept us in the loop and I think made sure we got everything we could from the insurance carrier.

Jason Harris is a great lawyer that I would highly recommend

Over the years I have had the fortune and misfortune to have to hire attorneys and public insurance adjusters to handle my legal matters and insurance disputes. Without hesitation I recommend the services of Jason Harris both in his capacity as an attorney or as a Public Insurance Adjuster. A fire... destroyed a large commercial property of ours the size of several blocks. Our claim was denied and that is when we first met and hired Jason. Since then we have used his services on several matters. He has settled claims for us by preparing, evaluating and negotiating with insurance companies after a disaster has destroyed a property of ours. He does not rest until he has reviewed all facts including the investigation into the loss, the terms of the policy, the damages and has the loss evaluated by experts such as engineers and accountants. He and his firm go beyond the call of duty. His ability as a litigator and fighter for us was and is impressive. He does not back down. Hard work and effort are second nature to him and his staff. His ability as an attorney in and out of the court room are impressive. He has assisted us in the past with million dollar claims that were denied. As noted above we used his Law offices as our attorney and he immediately went to work and sued the insurance company not only for our building losses but also for bad faith claims practices against the insurance company. It was a difficult matter. At times we were ready to give up but Jason told us not to give up and keep up the fight. We did just that and in the end he was able to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the past I have employed others, from small firms to large prestigious firms in Chicago, none of them equaled the tenacity and knowledge exhibited by Jason Harris and his firm. There was never any overbilling. I never had to question a bill or ask for proof of work. His billing and fees were fair, clear and correct. He was more than fair and reasonable. Glad to have him and his firm in my network of professionals I work with.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Without hesitation I can recommend Jason Harris. He operates the Law offices of Jason Harris and a claims adjusting firm of Harris Claims Services. We have used his offices as not only an attorney but also as a Public Adjuster. His past history includes working for insurance companies, adjusting disaster claims and litigation as an attorney against the insurance companies. Combining all these factors created such a wealth of information which was passed on to our clients and our office. There are others that claim to be experts in this area. However, Jason's unique experiences as a claims adjuster, past insurance defense attorney and current attorney representing the property owners place him at the top of the list. His knowledge of the complicated matters involved in adjusting of fire claims allowed us to succeed in several matters."
