success stories
"In 2010, Hemispheric Reinsurance Group. LLC was sued in a complex international case, and chose to retain Harris Law Firm’s services for our defense, but including both a counter claim as well as a cross claim. This suit lasted for 4 years, and Robert Harris Esq. successfully defended our position and also led the counterclaim and crossclaim. This was an international lawsuit involving a Latin American State Insurance Company, as well as Lloyd’s of London, and resulted in an absolute jury verdict on the basic claim as well as full success on both the counterclaim and the crossclaim, as well as award of our legal fees and costs, resulting in settlements involving millions of dollars for our Company. I can highly recommend the Harris Law Firm, and Mr. Harris personally, and can confirm that should we ever have a similar legal challenge, Hemispheric will retain Mr. Harris to represent us."
