An Experienced Wrongful Death Lawyer

Rich Harris, Attorney at Law
"The loss of a loved one is the most difficult thing
a person can live through.
When you are so sad you don't even want to get out of bed 
you have to muster up the courage
​and strength to hold the wrongdoer accountable.
When you need help, I will be there."

- Rich Harris
