Everything I could ask for!!!!

It has always been a pleasure working with Mr. Harrison. He has handled all matters that have assigned to him in a prompt, thorough and professional manner. He is easy to reach and returns calls promptly!

Quality professional advice

Jim has handled a mutlitude of different types of cases for First Fidelity Bank and has always done so in a highly professional manner. His advice is straight-forward and honest. He doesn't tell the client what he wants to hear. I feel like I get an honest, well-informed appraisal of the situation... with a realistic analysis.

Jim Harrison- The Consummate Pro

Jim Harrison is without question, one of the most astute, well versed and skilled attorneys I have known. My experience with Jim is that he is an extremely professional, forward-thinking, word-smith who looks at the big picture and strategically develops and executes effective solutions. If you ar...e looking for an attorney who's got your back and would pillage the countryside to come through for you, you’ve found him. He's the consummate pro!

"I met Jim Harrison about 20 years ago when he was opposing counsel in a case involving a bank. I was so impressed with him that we became friends, and through the years we have worked together on various matters as colleagues. Jim's firm also handles medical malpractice, serious injury and death cases. I have referred several significant cases to Jim and each of those clients was very pleased. He and his partners are excellent litigators and they have the staff and horsepower to handle very serious and complex cases. I highly recommend this attorney."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
