Experience Matters!

Harris handled my son's case with such perfection that the final result seems miraculous! The case took several years but he had the perfect timing and intuition to bring about the desired settlement. All this time he kept my son well-informed as well as my husband and myself. There is nothing that... I would change.

Harris is a Magician

Mr. Taback is not only a savvy attorney who is able to understand quite well law and how it should and could be applied, but he is talented at managing your best situation as well as coordinating things in your life needing to be handled. In my situation which the case was not complex however my life... was, Taback (somehow?) manage to keep all stakeholders calm and get the deal done. If you are looking for someone who is an artist and only focused on the best outcome, Taback is your counsel.

The Lawyer’s Lawyer

Though shocked that I would ever need a Criminal Defense Lawyer, I found myself in need and met with Harris Taback because he was highly recommended. He immediately made time for me and my family and seamlessly guided us throughout this ordeal. At all times we were well informed of what to expect. Ha...rris agreed to represent us even though this was an extremely difficult case. Because of his ability to write as well as speak with such authority and conviction, his representation exceeded all our expectations. Harris knows how to balance aggressive advocacy and professionalism. We all recommend him to those in need of an excellent attorney. Subsequently, another family member approached Harris with a civil governmental action and the recovery was more than hoped for and accomplished in a very timely manner. Harris Taback is the lawyer’s lawyer!

Amazing lawyer

Harris went above and beyond to represent me in my case. He was always available for guidance and kept me up to date on the process. Even my judge stopped in the middle of my hearing to say "you've got an excellent lawyer." I would call him back instantly if I ever needed consul. Honestly I wish... I had found him earlier in my legal process bc I've had other lawyers who were a total joke.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
