About Brian

I focus on representing injured people. Personal injury, it's all we do at Harris & Harris Lawyers.

Brian K. Harris is the Managing Partner of Harris & Harris Lawyers. Mr. Harris was born and raised in Southern California and graduated from Irvine High School, in Irvine, CA. In 1998, he received his Bachelor's Degree Cum Laude in political science from Utah State University. Mr. Harris graduated from University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2000 near the top of his class. During law school, he was actively engaged in positions with the Student Bar Association and was a member of the distinguished Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity.

Mr. Harris showed early signs in his legal career of his knowledge and exceptional skills as a lawyer. Three months after his admittance to the Bar, he was appointed Washington County Public Defender, in St. George, Utah. During this time, he learned to manage a significant case load and sharpened his skills as a litigator. Within two years of this admittance to the Bar, he had tried a number of cases to verdict.

In 2002, Mr. Harris joined one of Nevada's premier personal injury law firms. It was during this time, he gained invaluable knowledge and experience representing less fortunate individuals against major insurance companies. He further honed his skills as a litigator and gained a reputation as a tenacious negotiator.

In 2003, Mr. Harris joined his current partner, Heather E. Harris, and another lawyer to form Harris Injury Lawyers before forming his current firm. Mr. Harris has successfully resolved hundreds of personal injury cases in Nevada. Mr. Harris is a sustaining member in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum which recognizes outstanding achievements of trial lawyers throughout the nation.

Mr. Harris is an active member of the Utah State Bar, Nevada State Bar, American Bar Association, American Association for Justice, Utah Trial Lawyers Association, Nevada Trial Lawyers Association (Board of Governors from 2005 to present), and Clark County Bar Association. He enjoys running, traveling and spending time with his wife Heather (also a lawyer) and his new born son William.

Review Brian Harris

Peace of mind

When I first contacted Harris and Harris after my accident, they were extremely helpful and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. I never expected to experience the type of concern they had for me and my after care. It was very relieving. At that point, I knew I was in good hands. They are very communicative with the process and they are true professionals. I have referred several people in need to Harris and Harris and all were very satisfied.

My wife and I can`t be any happier with the outstanding services we received from Harris & Harris injury lawyers. We`ve been involved in a big car collision and suffered major injuries. Overall it was a very complex and demanding case. Never thought about it but hiring the right attorney after such a tragic event is not an easy task at all. We thought we made it a thorough evaluation and hired our first attorney. He started our case quite good but due to complexity lost control over time until we parted ways. Therefore, we had to go back to the drawing board. Luckily, we’ve been referred to Harris & Harris and they took over the case. We hoped for the best and immediately recognized the big difference in Harris & Harris working style. At Harris & Harris everything is very well organized through a very knowledgeable Brian Harris. His skills allow him to make very precise conclusions and statements. Therefore, he was clearly in the driver’s seat throughout our case. It was refreshing to know Brian and his team are working on our case. Harris & Harris had been able to settle our case very successfully. My wife and I want to thank Brian and his fantastic team (thanks so much Peg, you are great!) again for their superior and outstanding work. We can`t be any happier and are super glad we finally found THE right law firm with Harris & Harris! We wished we would have started our case with Harris & Harris right away after our accident. It would have saved us so many headaches and money. Excellent job Brian Harris and Team!!!

I hired Brian after my auto accident. I had met with another attorney & they suggest I accept what I considered a very low offer for my injuries. I required surgery on my knee, and therapy for my back. Brian got a much larger settlement than I thought was possible and upgraded my medical care. I am now back to nearly 100%, which I didn't think possible.
