BRIAN K. HARRIS

Brian K. Harris is the Managing Partner of Harris Schwartz. Mr. Harris was born and raised in Southern California and graduated from Irvine High School, in Irvine, CA. In 1998, he received his Bachelor's Degree Cum Laude in political science from Utah State University. Mr. Harris graduated from University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2000 near the top of his class. During law school, he was actively engaged in positions with the Student Bar Association and was a member of the distinguished Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity.

Mr. Harris showed early signs in his legal career of his knowledge and exceptional skills as a lawyer. Three months after his admittance to the Bar, he was appointed Washington County Public Defender, in St. George, Utah. During this time, he learned to manage a significant case load and sharpened his skills as a litigator. Within two years of this admittance to the Bar, he had tried a number of cases to verdict. In 2002, Mr. Harris joined one of Nevada's premier personal injury law firms. It was during this time, he gained invaluable knowledge and experience representing less fortunate individuals against major insurance companies. He further honed his skills as a litigator and gained a reputation as a tenacious negotiator.

In 2003, Mr. Harris joined his current partner, Ralph Schwartz, and another lawyer to form Harris Injury Lawyers before forming his current firm. Mr. Harris has successfully resolved hundreds of personal injury cases in Nevada. Mr. Harris is a sustaining member in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum which recognizes outstanding achievements of trial lawyers throughout the nation, and is rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell.
