    Review Genie Harrison

    Discrimination/Harassment/Hostile Work Environment

    Posted by

    Genie is currently working on my case and the level of team work, support and communication is amazing. I am truly fortunate and blessed that she is representing my case. Honestly, I may not be alive today had it not been for her compassion and support when the world seemed dark and my sense of self worth was dashed due to a hostile work environment. Genie is the real deal; honest, brilliant and brimming over with positive energy. This has been the best attorney/client experience yet.

    Best In Town!

    Simply put, Genie Harrison has exceeded every one my expectations! In fact, she renewed my faith in attorneys. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, but most importantly, she is a fighter and protects her clients. I could not imagine being represented by anyone other than her and her firm. I found her to be extremely honest, regardless of the situation. In addition, not only did Genie take the time to get all of the facts in the case, she then spent the time it took to learn who I was, what I was about and the truth of my story. There were times when I felt that she had a better understanding of the facts and my story than I did. That was a very comforting feeling. On top of that, Genie took the time to treat me like a person, not like a "client". Genie was consistently responsive to my calls/emails and never allowed me to feel disconnected from the events or status of the case. Her partners and staff make a wonderful team that are always "pulling in the same direction" together! I could go on and on, but hopefully these comments give you a solid understanding of how good she and how highly I recommend her. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with her as their counsel. She is a woman of character and that is very important when you are fighting for the truth!

    True Professional - Thank you!

    Genie and Andie are awesome! Genie's team really took the time to thoroughly review my case and understand my situation. I had previously consulted with three attorneys (a few were top in their field) and all mentioned I did not have a case. It wasn't until my last ditch effort that really paid off! I was referred to Genie Harrison's law firm and found she was the ONLY attorney that really listened and was able to help. I'm so thankful to Genie and Andie for all they've done along with their caring attitude and kindness. Finally, after a few years I now have closure to an extremely difficult period in my life. Thank you Genie and Andie, you're both true professionals!

    Genie and her team definitely made me feel comfortable and in good hands every step of the way. They kept me up to date with every single aspect of my case. Their professionalism and work ethics always made me feel prepared and stress free. They are really good with following up with you and not proceeding to making any decisions unless I approved or gone over options with them first. THANK YOU GENIE, SHERRI, and MICHELLE. It was a pleasure working with you guys, and I’m most definitely happy with the whole outcome of my case. I most certainly recommend them as great lawyers.

    Bryan Ortiz review of Attorney Genie Harrison

    Posted by

    Words cannot describe the professionalism, integrity and genuine passion Genie exhibits. She takes the time to get to know her clients personally which has created a stronger & more trusting relationship. I feel that she always gives me her undivided attention and makes me feel understood and supported. I appreciate her honesty, even when it's tough to hear. Genie is a top-notch attorney that I trust 150%. I can sleep good at night knowing that she is one my side and fighting for me.

    Genie Harrison support to Age discrimination lawsuit

    Posted by

    Mrs Harrioson bproved to be a very knowledable attorney willing to do the deatiled work and investigation into over 20,000 discovery documents involved in this litigation. Well experienced in the California legislation and precedents, the suit eventually included depositions in the US and Europe. Her filings were timely and acurate, her depositions incisive and revealing. She was an absolute pleasue to work with and adjusted to her Clients ability and personality. The outcome was reasonable and favorable in a very complex lawsuit.
