Mr. Harris began his legal career in Fresno, California in 1998. For the next 16 years, Mr. Harris worked at three different firms including one of Fresno’s larger law firms, before working at a bankruptcy boutique, and finally a prominent business firm before founding Harris Law Firm, PC. He has tried multiple cases throughout California, including jury trials, before State and federal courts, as well as administrative agencies. He is well-known for his aggressive, but pragmatic approach to resolution of legal disputes. Staff will readily affirm his two guiding mantras, namely: “Less is always more” and “We can always escalate, but we cannot de-escalate.”. Mr. Harris is a self-described adrenaline junky. As an adult, he has played rugby with Fresno Rugby Football Club throughout California, competed in powerlifting, Strongman (where he was Northern Nevada’s Strongest Man), and bodybuilding (where he won his first show in Southern California). Currently, Mr. Harris is training to fight in mixed martial arts. Nearly every weekend, Mr. Harris can be found riding his Ducati to locations unknown.. Mr. Harris is the proud father of four boys and husband to his wife of 24 years.

I have spent my entire professional career (27 years) practicing bankruptcy law.  Almost all of my clients are referred to me by former clients, attorneys, accountants and financial planners.  In 1994, I was the first Fresno bankruptcy attorney certified as a specialist in bankruptcy law by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization.  I take on bankruptcy cases that are complex and outside of the scope or expertise of the normal high-volume consumer bankruptcy attorneys.  My firm has a regional presence in California's San Joaquin Valley with offices in Bakersfield and Fresno.  Our bankruptcy department consists of four partners and three associates all dedicated to the practice of bankruptcy law.

I have been practicing law for over 30 years and have tried hundreds of cases in a variety of areas. My partner has been practicing just since last year and he brings an energetic enthusiasm to the table.. Together we are ready to take on any case.. Have Mouths, Will Travel.

I have been in practice for 25 years and have substantial business, estate planning, and litigation experience.. I grew up in Minnesota. During my college years I worked on the family farm, where we grew vegetables.. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1984 with a Bachelors of Arts in English (also Phi Beta Kappa).. I attended law school at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. I obtained my J.D. degree in 1989, and am a member of the Order of the Coif academic honor society.. I settled in Fresno in 1989, where I have maintained my practice.. When CDs were the rage, I reviewed a lot of music for a local newspaper. My old website is still at . You had to be there -- I'd receive 15 or more CDs every week. Now, I listen to lots of live music and other ROIOs.. My son is attending law school at UC Irvine, and my daughter is a computer science major at UCSB. In my spare time I enjoy woodworking/cabinet making, trap shooting, and music.

I assist businesses and individuals in employment, construction, business, real estate, and agricultural matters.

I am the former managing partner of Coleman & Horowitt, LLP, LLP, a litigation and transactions firm with offices in Los Angeles, Fresno, Visalia, Bakersfield, Sonora and Orange County (Irvine), California, and am a trial attorney and mediator/arbitrator in the firm's litigation department.  I have conducted all phases of litigtion in the areas of complex litigation, banking, real estate, commercial, and construction litigation.  In this capacity, I have served as lead counsel in numerous trials (both court and jury trials) as well as arbitrations and mediations.  I also represent clients in alternative dispute resolution as well as serve as a neutral in arbitrations, mediations and early neutral evaluations, both privately and on behalf of organizations such as FINRA, the Superior Courts of Fresno and Madera Counties, and the Disptue Resolution Center of the Central California Better Business Bureau.

I am devoted to providing members of the community who have suffered injury with high-quality legal representation. The concepts of respect, family and dignity are strong ideas that I hold closely in my personal injury practice. When a negligent act harms an individual, that harm impacts the entire family. I believe that accident victims deserve a fair shake from the insurance companies. My top priority is in protecting the vital interests of my clients. To that end, I help clients obtain the maximum recovery possible with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
