Free consultationAbout Harris Law
Harris Law Personal Injury Lawyers is a litigation firm in downtown Kitchener that takes on personal injury work and nothing else. Gordon Harris founded it in 2015, several years after moving back to the area, and today the practice runs to a handful of lawyers backed by a larger support team. The firm represents people hurt in car and motorcycle collisions, trucking crashes, slip and falls, and dog attacks, and it handles traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, disability and denied insurance claims, and wrongful death files.
The founder grew up in Waterloo and studied at Wilfrid Laurier University before earning a law degree and an MBA at the University of Alberta, then practised litigation in Alberta for close to seven years before returning to Ontario. Harris Law works on a contingency basis, so clients don't pay unless the firm recovers compensation, and the first consultation is free. Its reach isn't limited to Kitchener-Waterloo; the firm also takes cases from Guelph, Cambridge, Stratford, Brantford, and Hamilton, along with cross-border and out-of-province claims.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm works out of Suite 110 at 50 Queen Street North, an 11-storey downtown tower once known as Commerce House and now branded 50Q, on the corner of Queen and Weber Streets in Kitchener's Civic District. That puts it in the region's legal core: the Waterloo Region Courthouse sits about two blocks away, which is convenient for a practice built around litigation and, when a case doesn't settle, trial. The building stands steps from the ION light rail line, so clients coming in from Waterloo, Cambridge, or farther out along the route can reach it without driving, which matters when an injury has taken away the ability to get behind the wheel.
