“It’s the height of arrogance to think that this is about you. It’s not about you. It’s never about us. It’s always about the client.”
Michael S. Harris is a partner at Jordan Law in Greenwood Village, Colorado, specializing in catastrophic injury cases. He has secured numerous seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements through tailored litigation strategies.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Michael earned his degree in Political Science from the University of California, Irvine, and his Juris Doctor from Western State University College of Law. During law school, he worked full-time as an English tutor and served as a law clerk at a prominent Orange County personal injury firm, dedicating himself early to advocating for injury victims.
In 2011, Michael relocated to Denver, passed the bar exam, and began his career as a litigation attorney, focusing exclusively on representing injured clients. He is licensed to practice in Colorado and is a member of the Colorado Bar Association and the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.
