Finally, an honest lawyer.

I have always thought of lawyers like spiders, hiding under every rock just waiting for an easy meal. Chris Harris is the first lawyer that I have ever encountered that truly earns the title lawyer and counselor. He has worked with me personally and professional on a wide variety of legal issues ove...r the years, and I trust no other like I trust him ( and my own brother is an attorney). I would highly recommend him and his firm for any legal issues knowing they will always look out for the best interest of their clients.

I have had Chris as an attorney for many years and have always trusted him. He is very knowledgeable and makes me feel at ease no matter what we are dealing with. I highly recommend Chris if you are in need of an honest trustworthy attorney.

On the worst day of your life, you want this guy in your corner.

Chris Harris has been the attorney for my family for many years now. Now matter how busy he is, he always makes you feel like you are the only client he has. When my family business failed, he took care of everything from the creditors to the landlord, and made a traumatic situation seem survivable.... he's never let us down.

creative, sincere attorney with your best interest at heart.

I have had the opportunity to know and be represented Mr.. Harris for several years. Due to my industry I have been surrounded by legal professionals for a long time and have yet to come across an attorney as creative and sincere as Chris Harris. In a complex business matter Mr. Harris was able to... reach a positive outcome that many attorneys thought was impossible. Throughout the entire ordeal Mr. Harris kept me informed on all possible options and the potential drawbacks of each. Going into the dispute settlement I felt confident that Mr. Harris had explained all my options and allowed me to make the best choice for my company. I have also had the opportunity to work alongside Mr. Harris on several different cases. Working alongside Mr. Harris I learned that my experience was not an anomaly, but the norm for how Mr. Harris runs his law practice. In each case Mr. Harris was able to find a creative solution that met the client's needs. If you are looking for an attorney in Waco you could not find a better one. I give Chris Harris the highest recommendation.
