Harris Law Firm, one of Oregon's leading general practice law firms, has opened two new offices in the Portland, Oregon metro area.
Robert Harris, managing partner of the
Oregon law firm, said that the new locations fulfill the firm’s mission of providing quality legal services to clients within the client's community. "We want to be the neighborhood lawyer, while maintaining quality services with attorneys who focus their practice," Harris said. "So you can get that benefit of having a lawyer who really knows their area of law, but they can be right where you already do business. You don't have to go to a downtown high rise."
Harris Law Firm's Tualatin/Tigard office is located within the Bridgeport Village Mall, an upscale shopping destination full of higher-end boutiques and restaurants. “It's where people come to shop and spend time." Harris said. "It's convenient, has free parking, it truly is a village."
Harris's newest office is located in the Hollywood District of Northeast Portland. It's in a modern new construction upscale condo building, right in the hub of the Hollywood community. "It's a fantastic office," Harris said. "Right off of 39th and Sandy Blvd, and the Banfield freeway, in the heart of Hollywood."
Now, with four different locations for the personal injury law firm, including offices in Hillsboro, Oregon and S.E. Portland, keeping quality and value while adding convenience was a challenge. "We have a private network so we can share work and support. Like a private cloud. So whether it's a personal injury, family law, business or a DUII matter, our attorneys can be staffed at any office, depending on clients needs. Quality and consistency is important," Harris said.
But efficiency doesn't mean cheap. All of the offices are, if not luxurious, very comfortable and inviting.
"We look at delivering legal services differently. When you're trusting someone to get you compensation for your injuries, or forming a new business, or dealing with a difficult family matter, you shouldn't have to choose between the expensive boutique law firm that has the experience, but not the personal touch, and a local lawyer who may have great availability and a more engaging feel, but maybe not the depth of experience you want." Harris said. "We think people do want both and we know can deliver."
It is a different way of thinking about how to deliver legal services. But with more people using online communications, and more people themselves working virtually, there doesn't appear to be any reason why legal services shouldn't take advantage of these new capabilities and expand beyond the traditional business structure.
"It's all about value," Harris concluded. "And value is quality and convenience. We think delivering boutique services at general practitioner rates, and delivering them within your community, that's great value."
