Savvy Attorney

James is a savvy attorney who will go above the call of duty to take care of his clients. I know I am secure whenever my contracts and legal matters are handled by James. He's a highly competent attorney who has a knack for thinking outside-of-the-box to find a solution to any problem. Highly recomme...nded. 5/5

Fully committed to your needs

Excellent attorneys are hard to come by. James and Chad actually care. They made sure I was fully covered in every contract and engagement (whereas other attorneys just gave me regurgitated stock contracts), he works hard to find the best solution to your answer (whereas other attorneys just told me ..."nope!"), and is incredibly responsive (whereas other attorneys take weeks to get things done). Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a QUALITY attorney. Thanks James!

Kaen is capable and professional

James Kaen, working with Harris Law Firm did for me what other firms could not. After having " a not so good experience" and lack of results with 2 other big name San Diego law firms, I was apprehensive to use yet another attorney. Unfortunately, I needed legal counsel to move forward. After one con...sultation, Mr. Kaen and his colleagues had a clear view of my circumstances and a plan that was executed promptly. In three months, I received more results with James Kaen/Harris Law Group than I had after 3 years with 2 other big San Diego firms. I would highly recommend James Kaen to anyone. His firm is very personable and they take the intimidation out of complex cases. They set the standard for reputable legal practices. Kate

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
