Richard Harris is an extraordinary, brilliantly skilled attorney who delivers amazingly positive results for his clients. Mr. Harris is extremely knowledge, empathetic, supportive, attentive to his clients needs as well as their situation. He absolutely outperforms any expectations the client may have. My case was in a such big mess created by my previous attorneys in a huge law firm, in which they paid little to no attention to my case, provided me with misinformation and dragged my case on for four years. A friend recommended Mr. Richard Harris to me. He immediately took charge of my case, set it in the right direction in a short time. He personally fought for me so strongly in court that the judge ended up siding with Mr. Harris. I can personally vouch that my case survived only because of Mr. Richard Harris, how he expertly saved it and guided it back into the right direction. If you want to win your case, then hire Richard Harris as your attorney. He is truly the best.

I had a very good experience with Mr. Harris a few years ago, so when I needed an attorney a few months ago I decided to call him. His staff patiently guided me through the various forms, etc. answered all of my questions, and was always available. I was pleasantly surprised to get a call from Mr. Harris, with some questions and discussion of my goals in the case. Mr. Harris determined that I can sue a third party besides having a workers comp case and that case can be substantial. Until I spoke to Mr. Harris I just thought I was entitled to comp and that's it. The staff is always keeping me up to date on my case. In fact, just today I was called by Josie to tell me that my check was in the mail. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Harris Firm.

I am very pleased with the Harris Firm! Upon taking on my claim they gave me such relief. The communication and response levels were at an all time high! They were on top of everything, very concerned and consistent. I’d highly recommend this firm. EVERYONE who attended to me was pleasant and reassuring. Thank you!

I highly recommend this law firm on both a professional and personal level. Mr. Harris was very attentive to the actual facts and research required to document the facts in my case. Mr. Harris went above and beyond by communicating with my private long term disability provider on my behalf, advocating so that I didn't loose those benefits while my social security case dragged on. He even helped me to collect myself when SS notified me that a second hearing was needed. He answered all my questions and never talked down to me. I felt heard and respected through the whole process. Filing for Social Security Disability is a complicated and stressful process. Don't let anyone tell you that you can maneuver it by yourself. I recommend that you make an appointment with this firm sooner than later. Thank you also to Josie for all your assistance along the way. I was recommended by a friend to this office who was represented by Mr. Harris over 10 years ago and he still talks about him!

Mr. Harris was my lawyer and I have to say he was outstanding to work with during my Workers Comp case! He was very professional and took the time to explain all the things I did not understand. He was always very thorough with checking in on me throughout my case and making sure that everything was in order when it came to documentation and my general well being as I healed.

I don't write many reviews, though this I had to do.... You simply cannot ask for a better law firm. Mr. Harris and his staff were incredibly knowledgeable, confident, and quite easy going and understanding. I had them help with my Social Security Disability case. From the moment you meet Mr. Harris and Josie, you know you are in good hands. Period. They give you the time you need and they explain everything step by step so you understand the process. While I am sure there are plenty of choices, I am certainly glad I chose them and I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you for everything.

Unfortunately I had a pretty bad accident and needed an attorney. I interviewed with 3 different firms. I went with Richard Harris because of the way our meeting went. They took a bunch of stress off my mind and lifted my spirits. The beautiful part of this is that everything they said they will do, they have done. He not only helped me with my Workers Comp, but Josie one of the paralegals suggested I file for Social Security Disability and she got me approved right away. These are two of the most stand up, reliable people you could ever have the pleasure of working with. This firm is just awesome! Richard is on top every single detail it blows me away. I made the right decision choosing Richard Harris.

Very experienced and professional law firm. My mom actually had a case with Mr. Harris about 15 years ago and when I got hurt at work she said only call Mr. Harris. I had a Workers Comp injury and they got a fair / honest settlement. The attorney here literally wrote the book on Workers Comp settlements. I would highly recommend this law firm for you legal needs. The staff is also great. I appreciate all the help that Boris gave me.
