Best Lawyer in San Diego!!!
I wanted to make sure I write a review for Jordon Harlan after completion of my case as I believe he is absolutely the best attorney in San Diego specially in the areas of employment law and medical malpractice.   As a physician with a complicated and difficult medical legal case, I had interviewed multiple attorneys with very high recommendations and great reviews from various sources such as family members, friends and websites such as superlawyer/yelp. However, after speaking with Jordon, I knew immediately that I only wished for him to take my case. First of all, Jordon is excellent at communication and extremely efficient at returning phone calls and replying to emails. He is very knowledgeable and knows the employment and insurance/medical malpractice law in great detail. He can explain complicated legal issues with great ease and simplicity and finds solutions for complicated legal issues with a great degree of competence that I found very reassuring throughout my case. He is also very emphatic and trustworthy and listened with great care to my concerns at every step of the way. During the entire process, Jordon kept me up to date and explained everything to me very clearly.  He is very knowledgeable, dependable, and handled everything in a timely manner. He handled my case with great expertise, care and competence and we achieved an amazing result beyond my expectations.  I would HIGHLY recommend Jordon Harlan without any hesitation to any family member or friend or anyone in need of an attorney.  He is truly in my opinion the best attorney in San Diego when it comes to employment law, insurance and medical malpractice.

Responsive and candid - very easy to work with
I found Jordon through Avvo and contacted him regarding a situation with my previous employer (I also contacted other attorneys and he was by far the most responsive). My situation was complicated and, unfortunately, time-sensitive. The consultation was outstanding and helpful and he never once pressured me to retain him. Beyond that, Jordon was clear and honest where his strengths were and did his research on his own (calling other specialized attorneys) into my situation, as necessary. Ultimately, I ended up with a great result!

Difficult employer situation
Many thanks to Jordon for listening and guiding me through a difficult employment situation. He explained the legal details of my case and acted quickly to move forward with my case. He really knows the nuances of employment law and thoroughly explained how he would move forward with my case and what I could expect from the case. Jordon moved quickly to draw up an agreement. I chose not to move forward with my case for personal/moral reasons. Jordon was very understanding and respected my decision. He would not accept any offer of payment, which to me speaks highly his character. I will not hesitate to use him in the future if need should arise. Thank you so much Jordon!

Genuine and hard-working attorney
I was in a car accident that left me unable to work for several months, and that ultimately led to a change of career. Jordon and his colleagues worked hard to make sure I understood the process and each step we were taking during the case. I immediately felt comfortable working with Jordon and his team because they were very genuine and knowledgeable. Jordon and his colleagues truly care about the people they represent. Jordon would call to check-in on my medical progress and to check-in on how I was feeling about the case. This was a very trying time in my life, and Jordon made the whole experience easier. I whole-heartedly recommend Jordan to anyone looking for an attorney. He and his team really exceed expectations.

Stellar work!
After a near-death accident, I was in need of an exceptional lawyer. I had never had such an accident, so I knew nothing about how to get started. I began by doing an online research for a lawyer in San Diego, and Jordon Harlan came up. His reviews were exceptional. From the moment I sent out an inquiry, to the day my case finally closed (two years later), Jordon and his team were fantastic. Jordon felt more like a friend and an advocate than a lawyer trying to collect money for work done. He really advised me every step of the way and outlined different options I had. I was not his easiest client - with a degree from an Ivy Leage, I had a million questions, and he'd answer every one of them happily. I was able to communicate with Jordon easily and quickly whenever I needed him, and he worked with me to solve any issues that came up during the lawsuit he was handling for me. I'd highly recommend him to just about anyone. I was very pleased with the outcome of our work together, and his advice and work was stellar.

So blessed to have found Jordon
My daughter and I were in a car accident with the other driver being at fault. I was going to accept the situation and move on with our lives. I quickly realized that areas of my body were not getting better, yet growing worse, ultimately needing shoulder surgery. My daughter was also experiencing nightmares. Even though I had never sued before, I knew I needed someone to help sort out the details of this life event. I reached out to a friend and he directed me to another lawyer, who only handled fatality cases. Mr. McClellan referred me to Jordon... and oh, how fortunate I became! It took one phone conversation to know I had the right person to defend me and to guide me through this process. I have never sued and I have never written a review, however, in this instance, I would like to share with you and assure you that if Jordon defends what you are in need of... please give him a call first. Jordon was sincerely compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, very professional, he was always punctual, and I always got off the phone or left a meeting having clarity and comfort in the direction we were headed. Basically, he knows and does his job well... and he does it with class and dignity. In the end, my settlement exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for someone to listen and understand you, then to put your worries at rest, give Jordon a call. You won't be disappointed and you will forever be blessed.

A Steadfast, precise, advocate for your rights.
Mr. Harlan represented me in a very sensitive, employer-employee case which consisted of wrongful termination and other sensitive factors. He was professional, confident, and followed through to the end. This wasn't a case about money, it was more about morals and protecting my human rights, and in the end we prevailed. He continues to be a supportive legal advocate for me, searching for legal answers when I'm in need.

Exceeded Expectations
I highly recommend Mr. Harlan. He represented me after I was involved in a car accident near my home in Chula Vista. He came down to my house to meet with me on several occasions and kept in touch with me from start to finish. After filing the lawsuit, he was able to obtain a settlement five times over what I would have accepted and been happy with receiving. As a result, I was able to pay for any health care services I needed and provide my children with gifts they greatly appreciated. It was never a stressful experience for me and I enjoyed working with Jordon. He still keeps in touch to see how I'm doing. I highly recommend Jordon to anyone.

Positive consultation
Although Jordon was not able to take my case based on some specifics involved, he was incredibly informative and provided me a few excellent referrals. He even went as far as to do a little research on the phone and was able to find another attorney who had similar issues with the same surgeon I was pursuing a medical malpractice suit against. Thanks Jordon.

Knowledgable & accessible
I was hit by a drunk driver while stopped at a stoplight and my car was totaled. Because there were other injured parties involved, it was difficult to get the other driver's insurance company to cover my medical bills and other losses. Suffering from severe physical pain while trying to navigate insurance claims and medical bills left me feeling extremely vulnerable and overwhelmed. I was referred to Jordon through a friend and he accepted my case when others would not. I cannot begin to explain the relief I felt knowing my insurance claim and medical bills were being handled so expertly. He kept in communication with me throughout the process and always made sure I understood what was happening. Jordon negotiated a settlement for me that would have otherwise taken years due to the injuries sustained by other parties involved. I had never needed an attorney before, but if I ever do again, I'm so thankful that I don't need to look any further.

Best Lawyer and Legal Representation
Harlan Law PC is one of the most honest law firms in San Diego. I was recently put in a tough situation last year by an employer and had no choice but to look for legal help. I called numerous law firms but no one seemed as understanding and empathetic than Jordon Harlan. From the moment I spoke to him, he advised me and guided me the best way possible through my case. It was extremely easy working with him because I never had to worry about anything and he always kept me up to date without having to ask. He goes above and beyond for his clients and that is something that is hard to find. Thank you Jordon!

Excellent Experience!
My family and I were put in a tough situation, so we were left with no choice but to seek legal help. Mr. Harlan came to our rescue, he was extremely patient and empathetic of our situation. It was as if he was experiencing it with us. Just engaging in conversation with Mr. Harlan immediately made us feel better about our situation. Once he was involved, there was little work and effort on our end, he did the heavy lifting. A few emails and phone calls later we were financially compensated beyond our request due to Mr. Harlan's knowledge and experience. All around it was great to work with Mr. Harlan. Thank you!

Best Lawyer I've Ever Had
Jordon Harlan is amazing. I needed representation with a criminally shady vendor of services in San Diego, and, even though I live in Florida, Jordon took the case and saved the day. He even made a trip down to see this criminal face-to-face. In the end, I got everything I was asking for, and then some. Jordon is incredibly professional, and he really knows his stuff. He helped me find all the angles, and he made them work for me. I recommend him very highly.

I have never needed legal advice before and was not sure how the process works, but after speaking to Mr Harlan about my situation he said that he could help. I was a afraid to seek out a lawyer and I was elated that I found Mr. Harlan. He took his time hearing me out, providing council, and resolving the issue in a professional and expedited manner. I will always us Mr. Harlan for my legal issues in the future.

They Don't Come Better Than Jordon Harlan
Jordan is as professional and knowledgable as they come. When you work with Jordon, expect the best because that is the kind of service he provides. When I came to Jordon, I needed answers quick. He was able to handle my situation with ease and expertise, and fast. It's tough to trust people, but when it comes to Jordan Harlan, know you are dealing with the finest individual around. I count on him whenever a legal issue arises and when legal questions come up that I need answers to fast. Bottom line: Jordon is who you want handling your legal matters.

Knowledgeable, great communicator
Jordon did a great job on my case regarding nursing home abuse and neglect. He was courteous and explained everything that was happening with my case, giving me updates and advice. My case had a great outcome. I would definitely recommend Jordon to others in need of a wonderful, competent attorney.

Superb attorney!
We've hired Jordon for several issues involving our business, including one that went to trial. Despite his firm being reasonably priced, he was knowledgeable, professional, and he made us feel like we were his only client. You just can't find that kind of attention and responsiveness from most attorneys. I HIGHLY recommend Jordan Harlan.
