Amazing- concise and helpful! 12 stars

Mr. Harry went ABOVE && BEYOND! He consulted with me via phone regarding a pending legal situation I was in and not only gave me solid advice but referred me to someone else in addition he felt could help me even further. On top of that- he EVEN CALLED THE OTHER ATTORNEY to expedite the process and m...ade him aware I would be calling him so I could get thru for a Phone consult immediately. Just WOW! He gives you solid to the point advice and you don’t feel rushed on the phone with him. You feel heard- which is very important when trying to navigate already Stressful situations. Thank you Mr. Harry For your guidance- I will ALWAYS send referrals your way.

Harry has integrity

I met Harry through a business I have. In the process I met his family and worked with his wife. In the work I do I get to know people personally. From my experience in meeting Harry he cares deeply for his family and his passion extends into his work in the legal field. I was trying to resolve a... case and asked for his advice. He not only provided advice but also encouragement to get on it right away which I did. In our interactions I found that while he specializes in certain fields he is constantly looking to learn more to get cases through the system faster. As we all know the legal system is complex, messy and long winded! He is passionate and energetic in his work and most importantly has a lot of integrity when it comes to helping people right the wrongs. I highly recommend his services!

Great attorney and mentor

Harry was always a great mentor to me before I went to law school and even after when I was studying for the bar exam. He always gave stalwart advice and did not pull any punches and always gave me sage advice. I would recommend Harry as an attorney due to his understanding of the legal system and hi...s beneficial mentoring throughout my life.

So helpful and amazing

Just want to say that Harutiun has been so amazing and helpful. I needed advices and help with a very complex case involving so many issues. No matter what time of day, or day of the week, he has always been there for advices and support. I've needed him on so many occasions and he has never disappoi...nted and always given good advice and calmed me down when I needed. I highly recommend him. He isn't just an amazing lawyer, is now an amazing friend.

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.
