“If you’ve got a question, call your lawyer, not a switchboard.”
I’m David Harris, a personal injury attorney representing good people across $area1, $area2, and $area3. Since 1995, I’ve built a practice around one simple idea: the lawyer you hire should be the lawyer who handles your case. I don’t run an assembly line. I don’t hide behind layers of staff. I answer my own phone, and I work your case myself from the first call to the final resolution.
What Makes My Practice Different
No-win, no-fee representation.
You pay nothing unless I recover compensation for you. It's that simple.

Low volume, high attention.
I intentionally keep my caseload small so you get personal, focused advocacy (not a rotating cast of “case managers").

Direct contact, always.
You’ll have my cell, and you can reach me by text and email. If something matters to you, then it matters to me, and you shouldn’t have to wait days for answers.

Ownership and accountability.
I don’t outsource your story. I build it with you, line by line, document by document, so your claim reflects the full impact on your health, work, family, and daily life.

Why Direct Access Matters to Your Outcome
Speed and clarity. When you speak directly with your lawyer, decisions are faster and guidance is clearer. No telephone game. No mixed messages.
Better strategy. The details you share, such as symptoms, setbacks, work issues, family constraints, and more, shape case value. I want to hear them firsthand so nothing gets lost.
Stronger evidence. I coordinate records, imaging, specialist notes, wage proofs, and day-in-the-life documentation early. That groundwork often lifts settlement value and shortens timelines.
Confidence. When you know the plan and you can reach me anytime, you worry less and heal better. That’s not just good for life, but it's also good for your claim.
What You’ll Never Get With Me
- No call-center choreography where assistants buffer every conversation.
- No pressure to sign fast without understanding your options.
- No “file and forget” approach while you wait in the dark.
- No billboard hype. My reputation is built case by case, person by person.
The Engagement: Simple, Fair, and Built Around You
- Free, no-obligation consultation
We talk about what happened, your injuries, your medical path, and your goals. I answer questions plainly. - Contingency agreement (no win, no fee)
If we both agree to move forward, we sign a clear representation agreement. You owe no fee and no expenses unless I recover money for you. - Immediate protection
I notify all insurance companies that I represent you. The calls, statements, and pressure stop. You focus on care; I focus on leverage. - Evidence and coverage map
We secure reports, photos, videos, witness statements, property damage documentation, and policy details (including UM/UIM and any commercial coverage). - Story and strategy
Together, we build a clean narrative of liability, causation, and damages (the three pillars of a strongpersonal injuryclaim).
The Three Pillars I Build (So Adjusters Take Notice)
Liability (who’s at fault).
Crash reports, scene evidence, photos/videos, measurements, and, when needed, expert reconstruction.
Crash reports, scene evidence, photos/videos, measurements, and, when needed, expert reconstruction.
Causation (what injuries the incident caused).
Treating-physician opinions, imaging, clinical notes which distinguish any pre-existing issues from new or aggravated injuries.

Damages (the real-world impact).
- Economic: ER, physician, and specialist care, therapy, surgery, medications, devices, future care plans, mileage, out-of-pocket costs, lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
- Non-economic: Pain, daily limitations, sleep disruption, loss of enjoyment, relationship harm.
Goal: translate your lived experience into recognized claim value—so nothing important is left off the table.
My Communication Promise
You should never wonder what’s happening with your case. Here’s how I keep you informed:
- Direct updates from me at each meaningful step: investigation, medical status, demand timing, negotiation, and (if needed) litigation. You can also just call when you want an update.
- Plain-English explanations of options and tradeoffs before decisions.
- Prompt replies by phone, text, or email, because your peace of mind matters.
Why I Don’t Operate on Volume
High-volume firms often rely on layers of staff, scripts, and settlement quotas. That can create:
- Delays in answers and action
- Gaps in documentation (which reduce claim value)
- Pressure to accept early “quick checks”
I’d rather represent fewer clients, and represent them better. That means more time for your questions, more attention to your medical progress, and more effort poured into the demand package that sets the tone for negotiation.
The Demand Package: Where Preparation Pays Off
When treatment stabilizes (or your long-term needs are clear), I craft a fact-driven demand that presents your claim the way a jury would see it:
- A crisp liabilitynarrative supported by evidence
- A medical chronology with key imaging and provider opinions
- A future-care plan when appropriate (therapy, injections, surgeries, home or vehicle modifications)
- Verified wage loss and, if needed, vocational opinions on work capacity
- Day-in-the-life documentation that humanizes non-economic losses
Strong, honest demands generally resolve more cases pre-suit and for higher value.
If Insurers Won’t Be Reasonable
Litigation is a tool, not a threat. If a carrier undervalues a well-documented claim, we file suit to:
- Obtain subpoena power and compel production of evidence, witnesses, and materials not available without court power
- Take depositions under oath to test credibility and expose negligence
- Present expert testimony (medical, reconstruction, economic, life-care)
Even after filing, many cases still settle, and often at stronger numbers because the case is trial-ready.
FAQs
Is it really no win, no fee?

It depends on medical recovery and complexity. We balance timing and value so we don’t settle short or needlessly wait.

Ready When You Are
If you were injured because someone was careless in $area1, $area2, or $area3, you don’t have to navigate auto insurance companies alone, or through a maze of intermediaries.
