The idea of customer satisfaction was unpopular among Texas law firms in 1980. Believing that clients and employees alike needed to be treated with respect as valued individuals, from the beginning, HARRIS & HARRIS led the industry in meeting those needs.
Workers’ compensation defense is our sole concentration. HARRIS & HARRIS fulfilled our mission statement when other firms did not even have a mission statement and established itself as an innovator. While customer satisfaction and leadership propelled us to the forefront of our industry, our originality and fierce advocacy set the benchmark for all others who follow.
HARRIS & HARRIS believes our clients want one firm that can provide all services in workers’ compensation. Our attorneys travel to all DWC hearings and court room locations in Texas to meet the needs of our clients. We provide services the entire spectrum of representation from Designated Austin Representation to Judicial Review. HARRIS & HARRIS is a defense firm and does not represent plaintiffs.
HARRIS & HARRIS is unparalleled in the area of workers’ compensation law educational and research services. From our TDI-approved seminars, on-line newsletters, to our state of the art on-line research Knowledge Base for clients only, we meet every need for the information necessary to successful claims administration. So advanced is this site,www.harriswc.com, that it has bodies of Texas law no other site contains, not even the DWC or commercial sites. This is not a link to the DWC site, but an independent database built by HARRIS & HARRIS, which contains all Appeals Panels decisions, published as well as unpublished, the statutes, rules, SOAH decisions and more for quick on-line research by clients. Client bulletins are issued both online and by hard copy, DWC public meeting summaries are presented and legislative updates during sessions of the Texas Legislature areonstantly current. All of these things combine to provide a full client awareness of the latest developments in this quickly changing area of the law in Texas. In addition, we offer an Attorney Hotline by e-mail. By using the attorney hotline our clients can e-mail their questions to our office. The message is received by all attorneys in our office and answered by the first available attorney. We also have a blog available to clients only. Our blog allows clients to access bulletins, as well as stay up to date on what is happening with Harris & Harris and worker's comp. Best of all, this service is free of charge to our clients.
Practice areas within workers’ compensation include all levels of DWC benefit hearings, Medical Dispute Resolution, SOAH appeals hearings, audit and violation defense, a trial section, which tries most of the compensation cases tried in Texas and more. Our leadership position in innovation and technology means each attorney utilizes the latest laptop law library at each hearing to insure the fullest representation for clients. No other firm boasts this technology for hearings. Our passion for client representation has made HARRIS & HARRIS the premier defense advocate in workers’ compensation in Texas.
As we begin our third decade of service to clients, our experience level is markedly great. The lessons taught by former I.A.B. Chairman and name partner, H.S. Harris, Jr., now deceased, have endured as a lasting contribution to our firm culture. Begun as a two-lawyer firm, HARRIS & HARRIS now offers a large force of attorneys and support staff. Legal assistants and paralegals work closely with their attorneys and the firm’s clients to ensure seamless service. Stringent contact and reporting requirements to clients give each client the level of involvement desired during our handling of the claim matter.
We are as our clients. Diversification is not a buzzword, but a commitment kept everyday at HARRIS & HARRIS. No other workers’ compensation law firm boasts the approximately 50% level of women and minority attorneys in our organization. A kept promise which makes us and our product stronger and our law firm unique.
Promises made to be different. Promises to clients and employees of H&H. Decades of hard work and staying true to a belief in quality and customer satisfaction. Promises kept at HARRIS & HARRIS.
