We are proud and honored by the compliments that we receive from our clients. Here are a few of them…
“When engaging a law firm to represent my interest, I look for the following: 1) empathy, sincerity and honesty about my situation; 2) a demonstration of knowledge relative to the law applicable to my situation; 3) the ability to navigate the complexities of the court system; 4) to the extent possible, a good reputation with the courts and opposing counsels; and 5) finally, a firm that will keep me informed about the major and minor details of my legal situation so I can be able to make informed judgments. In my personal experiences with Harris Butler, III his legal representation met and far exceeded all of my expectations. Without hesitation, I have directed to him and his firm other individuals interested in the legal services they provide, and all have voiced similar satisfaction to what I represent here. They are that good.”
“Craig Curwood’s communication skills are exceptional. Craig represented me in a federal employment lawsuit which took two years, and he stuck by me. He was always available to me either by phone or in person. He is honest and trustworthy, and his judgement, analytical and research expertise is the best. I have never regretted the time or resources I invested in my case because Craig helped me get my three days in court where my employer had to testify to his wrongdoing. I highly recommend Craig Curwood.”
“I am deeply grateful for Harris Butler’s steadfastness in my representation. I know that the determination of the defense not to settle this case was challenging, but Harris always showed that he believed in me, and that there was a stone unturned to assist our case. Thanks to his superb strategies, after a long and uncertain fight, we were successful. I use the term “we” because it took a team—my knowledge and personal experience, and the expertise, thoroughness and professionalism of the firm’s staff. I really needed a lawyer who could take my employment experience, and with intelligence and professional acumen, move it through the legal channels. I am so grateful to have found Harris Butler. I appreciate his responsiveness to my questions, and his clarity in answering them. I am eternally thankful that I had Harris on my side of the table facing my former employer and in negotiating with the EEOC. His experience in these matters was an unquestionable asset to the case. Harris and his staff were honest, direct, and also upbeat—which is important for someone who has been beaten down in their place of employment. I am so thankful for all he did in my representation and for our victory!”
“I really don’t know how to adequately thank you for all your help these past two difficult years. You believed me and you believed in me – and for that I will always be grateful. I wish you could have known my husband – but in many ways I feel you had a good sense of the man he was. You met our children and there is so much of him in both of them. You helped my whole family and renewed our faith in mankind. I’m sending you one of his neckties. I’m slowly parting with some of his things and I want you to have something that was his. You’ve given so much to me and my family – please accept this small token of my appreciation.”
“Thank you so much for the time you so generously spent listening to my concerns yesterday. That you provided your professional services to a complete stranger without compensation is a kindness I will always remember.”
“Our mutual client shared with me how much she appreciated our referral and your professional guidance and support during a difficult employment situation that she attempted to maneuver on her own. She conveyed to me how at ease she felt from the initial consultation and how you helped her achieve a better settlement after 32 years of employment with them. Thank you for the excellent care and legal representation you extended on her behalf.”
