A real attorney, a clear process
Harris Law serves Springfield and southwest Missouri from its Nixa office. Joel has practiced law in Missouri since 2008. His path to the law started years earlier, when a serious injury in an Army National Guard tank accident — and the poor legal help that followed — showed him what injured people actually need from a lawyer.
Meet Joel HarrisClient experience
“Joel and his team were a huge help to me after an auto accident. It was a tremendous relief to turn everything over to them and let them deal with the other insurance company. ... if you ever need assistance following an accident, I would absolutely recommend Harris Law.”
— L.A. (Nixa, MO)
Harris Law provided a comfort in a very uncomfortable time. From the very beginning, Joel was honest and upfront. Anytime I had a question, it was answered effectively and quickly. The financial side of it was just as great. You never questioned where your money was going to. Leslie provides a detailed statement and breaks down every dollar. I couldn’t have been blessed with a better firm. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone. Simply the best.

Missouri generally allows five years for a personal-injury action under RSMo § 516.120, but shorter deadlines and notice rules can apply.
