I couldn't have made a worse choice of attorney

Emile Harmon - or his office - lost my contract agreement with his office two or three times after I signed it ... and blamed me. Emile Harmon repeatedly failed to return phone calls after he said to get in touch with him ... and blamed his (personally competent) paraprofessional. Emile Harmon rep...eatedly told me he had physical therapists for me to go to after my injury but failed to return phone calls asking for their names. Later, he lied and told the AZ bar, where he has been reported for at least the second time, that he never said he had names of physical therapists. Emile Harmon told me that he would be able to get a demand letter for my case sent within three months. Four months later, after numerous unanswered requests to see the demand letter sent to the party being sued, he sent me the letter. It had numerous errors. I asked if we could fix it. He said we could. I asked how we could do that if it had been sent. He said it hadn't yet been sent after all. When I couldn't abide Emile Harmon's lack of professionalism any longer, I asked for my case to be transferred to another lawyer in the firm. Emile Harmon resigned my case saying, in part, that without physical therapy, my case isn't worth that much anyway. When he resigned it, he left me in a position where at least of some my medical bills have not yet been paid from my insurance (since his paraprofessional asked me to send him the release form from my insurance before I signed anything - I have no idea when she sent it out after that) and they are about to be reported to credit bureaus as unpaid. I reported his behavior to the AZ Bar, where he is currently being investigated. Update: I also engaged another attorney who, despite Emile Harmon's predictions, got me a large settlement. This attorney charged me only 29%, as opposed to Emile Harmon's ask of 40%. When I saw here that Emile Harmon had been sanctioned by the AZ Bar once, I should have paid attention and immediately engaged another attorney. This is now a decision I deeply regret.

Thank You

Mr. Harmon was very aggresive when he needed to be and more importantly, he knew when to be aggresive to benefit my case. What a great change to see that there is an attorney out there who actually cares about his clients

Top-notch attorney!

I am a father of 2 kids, I’ve raised my kids all their lives and have a very close relationship with both. I was feeling hopeless and stumped about my court hearing only 2 days away and being lawyer-less (current lawyer left for a new job) and my wife came across Emile’s website. The website seemed... very passionate about what they do and we took our chances. We were able to meet Emile that same day for a free consultation. Emile was straightforward and confident. We apologized to him for the short notice and he said it was nothing because he had met and represented a client overnight, which was amazing to me. 2 days approached and Emile was gung-ho and ready, and every hearing after that (Emile blew my ex, her supporters and her lawyer out of their pants each time)! Long story short, after nearly a year of battling with child custody and child support, I was able to keep my 2 sons and was awarded child support. My ex’s sole purpose was to avoid child support, which I’m sure she regretted it because before I was represented by Emile, my children were receiving a meager $400 a month and with Emile’s diligent work, my kids were able to obtain a fair amount of $1600 a month. Emile is very knowledgeable, upfront, uncomplicated, and competitive! God bless Emile, his family, and his staff... You have my everlasting gratitude. Emile is the epitome of diligence.

Miracle Worker

Attorney Emile Harmon worked miracles with my case which enabled me to gain custody of my two teenage daughters. And he did this when he was a paralegal. He did all the work up until the actual hearing and due to his diligent and hard work ethics, I was able to gain custody of my daughters and get ...them out of the horrific situation they were in with my ex. I cannot express my gratitude for the hours and strategy he used when approaching my particular situation. He told me from day one, we will win this, and your daughters will be safe and with me when this is over. Now he has his own firm, and deserves all the success and rewards that is headed his way. This was all done 1740 miles away, as I reside in Wisconsin. He took are of every detail and paperwork we needed to successfully prevail in our case. May god bless him and his family and his new practice. Sincerely, Derek and Jennifer
