He has tried many cases concerning these specific types of claims over the years, so he has the trial experience to go to court and win. He is also an excellent negotiator, so if possible he will reach an out-of-court settlement that will save you time as well as the expenses of trying a case in court.

John Harris: A Lifetime Committed to Defending the Rights of Americans Like You
John graduated from the United States Naval Academy and began a nine-year career as a pilot in the U.S. Navy. Throughout his naval career, John never lost sight of the fact that he was doing his part to protect and defend the precious rights everyday Americans enjoyed.
Today, John protects the rights of Americans on different battlefields - the courtrooms of civil law. Instead of bombs and bullets, the enemies he faces possess weapons that are just as powerful. Certain large corporations are gaining unprecedented influence on the very laws which were put in place to make sure that victims of their negligence could look to the courts for help. Laws created to give ordinary, lawful people some measure of recourse against the unlawful and uncaring acts of powerful business interests are being swept aside in favor of laws that protect the self-interested goals of corporate America. These are changes that John Harris fights against on a daily basis on behalf of his clients and for all Americans.
In such times, it's essential for you to have an attorney with a proven belief in the rights of the injured to seek fair compensation through our court system, and one with the trial skills and experience to get results. In Virginia, for victims of personal injury, whether from medical malpractice, car or truck accidents, drunk driving accidents or neglect in nursing homes and assisted care facilities, dog attacks, pit bull attacks, John Harris is here to help.
