Wilmer is a wonderful attorney

I hired Wilmer and his team to handle my employment case and we were able to push for a settlement 2 years after the first complaint filed. I was rejected by many many other attorneys at first since my profession is hard to understand by straight forward illustrations. Many other attorneys told me my... case will be hard to be comprehended by jury if we go to trial. I went with another 5 star attorney at first and he dropped me after 1 st complaint filed. Wilmer was the 1st attorney who told me he would take my case. After the other attorney dropped me, I went back and asked Wilmer if he would accept me, Wilmer accepted me and he cured the mess ever since. Not only he was experienced and empathetic, he was very smart and learned about my case in a professional way. Even though my final settlement was slightly short compared to my target, I still strongly recommend Wilmer. He was truly kind and truly a fighter against hidden discrimination. I was impressed by his first depo against the defendant, which made the defendant a stupid liar, in a very professional way. I truly appreciate his help. I strongly recommend him as a past client by all my heart

Experienced, thoughtful and empathetic

Wilmer is a deeply experienced and thoughtful attorney who helps set client expectations well based on his knowledge of the legal system and typical length of cases before resolution. He is also extremely empathetic and helpful. I would recommend him without any hesitation and was referred to him b...y another attorney who vouched for his high standards and level of excellence.

The very best in the field!

Wilmer is extremely knowledgeable about his area of law, remarkably intelligent, with exceptional instincts in legal strategy and case planning, always supported by his strong grasp of law and legal precedent. Wilmer took my case that many attorneys in the same field wouldn't touch and achieved suc...cess. He guided me through a very complex, precedent-setting case with the utmost integrity and professionalism. I was always informed about developments in the process. Working with him was a pleasure. I would recommend Wilmer to you in a heartbeat!

Excellent, caring attorney.

Once Wilmer took on my case, he displayed his intelligent, determined and caring approach to working with me. He explained all of the legal and administrative aspects of the case to me clearly. He kept me aware of deadlines and gave me materials to review in a timely manner. When I asked, he discu...ssed strategies and tactics with me. We prepared for depositions and meetings and I always felt confident going into them. Working with Wilmer made a complex and difficult situation as clear and comfortable as it could be under the circumstances.

A true beacon of Light when the world is so Dark.

I have had the unfortunate experience of requiring the services of a lawyer throughout my life. Bluntly - most are a joke and a sell out. Not Mr. Harris. In my fifty plus years he is the best and I wouldn't hesitate one minute about asking for his help. Class actions - no problem, employment - no... problem. When you are wronged you need the best representation and he is definitely that. Thank you and I truly hope that you consider Mr. Harris. I only wish I would have known him much sooner in life.
