Honest, Available and Effective

I hired Harris and couldn't be happier with the process or the results. Harris was always available and extremely communicative. He has a ton of experience as a criminal defense attorney and is therefore able to offer great advice and strategy. I felt like he genuinely cared about me and the results ...of the case. I recommend him highly.

Well spoken and experienced.

This was the first time I had to deal with the law and Harris was recommended to me by a well respected person that I knew from work. As a law abiding hard working person, I would have never thought that I would find myself in the situation that I was in. As a victim of a crime, I was wrongly accused... of something that was done to me by turning the tables. After Harris was notified, he immediately took action and started with all the work needed to build a solid defense and proof that the accusations were simply based on lies and that there was no credibility to what I have been accused of. Harris strategically chose the right path for our defense and my case was dropped before it went to trial. I cannot express how grateful I am that Harris managed to proof the wrongdoing that was done to me. During the entire time, I worked together with Harris to provide all the information we needed and when we finally converged on sufficient proof, Harris pulled the strings and the case was dropped based on the evidence we provided. As I have never dealt with the law before, I cannot compare my experience. However, I have learned through Harris that it is important to stand on top of everything and understand both sides in all details. Although I had to push Harris in situations where I would feel that work needed to be done, Harris handled all situations with confidence and achieved the expected results.

"Harris is the best. He approaches every case with care, is wickedly smart, and works hard to learn every aspect of the law and facts relevant to each matter. Harris is also incredibly dedicated to his clients and genuinely cares about getting the best resolution possible. What's more, he has been practicing in the Bay Area for over 30 years and therefore knows the ropes, including most of the judges, prosecutors, and other defense attorneys in the area. He's also a pleasure to be around and a fantastic mentor. If you need legal help, Harris is your man."

  • 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.
