I was skeptical at hiring a law firm following a car accident. I'd never believed in "personal injury" lawyers, in fact, I spoke with 3 other law firms prior to hiring Harris Personal Injury Law Firm. Frankly, it was the best decision I've ever made and I have a whole new respect for this profession. From the consultation with Jeff, to the many phone calls with Isabel, and finally to talking with Derek, I was treated with kindness, understanding and consideration. At the conclusion of my case (2 years), Derek patiently explained how the insurance claim would be handled, thru his expertise he was able to reduce my medical bills and what I thought was an impossible situation turned out to be blessing. There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for the care I received from Isabel and Derek, they lifted me up and helped me through a very difficult time in my life due to a car accident. I would highly recommend Derek and Harris Law Firm.
Derek was extremely supportive the whole way through my car accident case until the settlement. He was always so prompt with phone calls and emailing me back. I was extremely happy with the end result of my settlement and I highly recommend Derek and Harris Personal Injury Attorneys.

Exceptional Professional
I found Derek to be engaging and honest from the moment he began representing my interests. He was responsive and direct in answering any and all questions i had about my case. This is what i would expect from a very good lawyer. Derek ended up exceeding my expectations in resolving my case. I do not have a lot of experience to judge what qualities a great lawyer would have, but i would happily endorse Derek's capabilities in that regard.

Very positive experience
I recently received a settlement from an auto injury accident. The proceeds were 40% more than I had expected. Derek was a pro at negotiating the deal with the insurance company, where I felt I was more than reasonably compensated. Derek & company were very responsive to my needs during my rehabilitation period as well. I honestly can only say good things about my experience dealing with Derek & his team. Thanks again for all your hard work. Joel
