Harv is an exceptionally hard working, diligent lawyer with good judgment. He has substantial court experience on a variety of topics. He is fearless in court, and a good writer.
Mario Moore, Litigation Attorney on Oct 17, 2017
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I worked with Harv on a variety of complex litigation, including ADA cases, breach of contract matters, and a complex fraud matter. His criminal trial attorney skills were honed during his many years as an esteemed prosecutor at NYC DA's office and the US Attorney's Office in LA. And he was a civil trial attorney at one of LA's largest litigation firms and General Counsel for a real estate group. He is a skilled cross-examiner who pins down difficult witnesses. Harv also excels at pre-trial motion practice. Last year, he obtained summary judgment on behalf of a plaintiff in a major civil fraud case in NY. Similarly, he successfully obtained demurrer on a punitive damages claim in a personal injury matter. Harv has an incredible perspective on seeing all sides of an issue, and thinking outside the box. He litigates to win and get the best result, but never loses sight of the big picture. Finally, Harv is an exceptional person who cares about doing the right thing for his clients.
