Michael Harris is the dumbest, conniving and dishonest pr*ck youre ever going to meet in your life…read more My ex WAS IN THE PROCESS of disposing of my property in a surprise domestic dispute while I was 3000 miles away, and I asked him if it was a crime, and he said no, he did not call the police for me nor suggest that I do the same, to stop her from doing this (it IS a crime, its A FELONY), nor would he even file for an injunction to stop her - get this: BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE A LAWSUIT; no thats not a typo: a LAWYER did NOTHING to stop my ex from disposing of my property, BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE TO DO THE JOB I WAS HIRING HIM FOR: to file a lawsuit! Now how stupid am I for not hanging up the phone and calling a different lawyer? I'm dealing with my 90 yr old parents in wheelchairs in NY, my ex ends our relationship, I havent seen her in 3 months, she gets a restraining order against me, this idiot Harris is charging me for advice on the RO, WITHOUT EXPLAINING TO ME THAT IF I CONTINUE TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT IT HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WRONG INFORMATION HE GIVES ME, I would soon find out he gave me LOTS AND LOTS of wrong information on it... HE'S CHARGING ME FOR IT WITHOUT ADDING IT TO OUR CONTRACT... OK so back to the property dispute, I told him the value was about 20,000 dollars, but I'm all distraught from everything that was going on, I was somehow EVEN DUMBER than he is, and let him convince me to sue her for only 10,000 because, I'll quote him: "you get your money quick, if we do it for more than 10k we dont get to include attorney fees, so we'll ask her to include attorney fees, and then you can write me a good review." then as embarrassing as it is for me to admit, I didnt do the math, and realize that if we sued for the 20,000, and I ended up paying him 5000, I'D STILL BE AHEAD WITH 15,000 INSTEAD THE 10,000 THAT HE CONVINCED ME TO GO WITH. meanwhile THIS WHOLE TIME HE'S DRAINING MY RETAINER so he ends up keeping the whole 5000 that i gave him, I ended up taking my ex to small claims and got the full 10,000 WITHOUT HARRIS, WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE ADVISED THAT I DO IN THE VERY BEGINNING, IF HE WAS GOING TO DO WHATS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF HIS CLIENT, but instead he was STEALING from his client FOR THE BENEFIT OF HIS FIRM, putting HIMSELF ahead of his client. DONT MAKE FUN OF HOW STUPID I AM AND HOW I BROUGHT THIS ON TO MYSELF, if youre going to hire him, because then that makes YOU EVEN DUMBER than me.

I had a really great experience with Gary Kahn, who represented me in my purchase of a home in…read more2016. I was referred to Gary Kahn at Reeves Kahn & Hennessy by a friend whom I trust, who is in the real estate management profession and I presume works with them much more regularly. My needs were modest -- I just needed someone to help advise me and review a purchase contract. I'm sure this was pretty small potatoes for an established firm like this -- but I didn't feel like I got shortchanged on their attention at all. Gary helped review the sales contract, and made sure I understood everything. He was willing to give me as much time as would be required to answer my questions. But he also didn't draw the process out -- it was quick and easy, and his fee was very reasonable. If you are looking for a real estate attorney, I would definitely recommend Gary Kahn and his firm.

This guy does not want to help you if you have a disability. We had a problem with an uninhabitable…read moredwelling and a landlord who was harrassing us. I called this guy and tried to explain the problem. He cut me off, was incredibly rude, didn't even hear the whole problem and said "I can't help you" after I told him my sister is disabled. He thought the landlord was totally reasonable renting a home with no potable water and harassing tenants. According to the law a lease is invalid in an uninhabitable dwelling. Tenants also have the right to reasonable contact from a landlord. Repeated texts & calls & constantly re-entering a dwelling while tenants are living in it is all Illegal. This guy doesn't even know that. This guy couldn't hide his disgust when I told him my sister is disabled and on Section 8. She has Down syndrome with dementia. I just sold my house to be her only caregiver. We were both on the lease. Home Forward had not given us permission to move pending an inspection they never did, but they will. No one can force us to live in uninhabitable housing. I will keep my sister safe with or without her voucher, but thats what lawyers are supposed to be for. As a lease holder, I was looking for representation for MYSELF. He turned us down before I could tell him that because I told him my sister is disabled. Talk about discrimination. Apparently basic tenants rights are out of this "lawyers" depth. Apathetic, incompetent professionals are why 80% of Portland's homeless population have disabilities and are dying in the streets, who hit one obstacle after another simply trying to survive. Discrimination isn't the exception. Its the RULE. This guy doesn't have a lick of empathy & doesn't know or care about the law. He thought it was just fine for my disabled sister to drink dirty, possibly lead-filled water & live with constant harassment & threats to keep an illegally excessive deposit for normal wear and tear. People with disabilities don't need to see the full document they signed. Landlords can simply withold the extra documents they tricked you into signing to steal your deposit later. If you're about to get evicted, this guy apparently has a letter he can charge you for. If he only does evictions, he would much better off simply stating that upfront than gaslighting potential clients into believing their being unreasonable & discriminating against tenants with disabilities. This "lawyer" doesn't seem to know basic tenants rights and just broke the law discriminating against my sister. Hes probably not worried because knows civil rights don't get enforced, because of lawyers like him. Im very glad it didn't work out. I am certain I could do a better job representing myself in small claims than hiring this guy. I find it very hard to believe this is a real lawyer.

Damon handled the necessary settlement agreement and liability waiver. Defused the situation. We felt bad for our tenants; one of them we considered a friend. The settlement was what we would have done anyway, but I am glad that we had help. We settled without ruffling feathers. Damon's approach was tactful and comprehensive. Everything was done almost immediately by phone and texts directly with the attorney. I never dealt with a liability situation where I had to hire an attorney to keep us out of court. I cannot imagine having made a better choice.

The reason I called him is to find out if I will ever need a lawyer or not. Mind you, its for me the landlord trying to evict a tenant. Looks like he will always be on the tenants side. Didn't even offer any consultation costs or anything. Just straight "I wont do this I will not talk over the phone while I can't see any notices you have" Well duh?! First of all why not answer when you're not driving?! Second, dont you have an assistant or office? Are you even a real lawyer? THIRD why not offer a time or day to discuss my issue and see if I am a prospective client or not? Dont waste your time. Jesse Cowell office is much better. Rachel is so kind to answer any questions you might have for Jesse!
