About

Although I once worked for large and medium sized law firms, I am now a sole practitioner who maintains an office in downtown Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, dedicated primarily to the individual consumer and taxpayer. I practice in the areas of bankruptcy, tax, estate, business and real estate law and engage in litigation involving those practice areas. I received a bachelors degree in history from the Pennsylvania State University, a law degree with honors from the University of Miami where I was the recipient of American Jurisprudence awards in Trusts and Estates and Administrative Law and a Master of Laws degree in Taxation from the New York University School of Law.  I am a member of the Bars of the States of Pennsylvania and Florida, and am admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and the United States Tax Court. I have been accorded an “AV” rating, the highest rating in the Martindale-Hubbell law directory. I also serve as a mediator in bankruptcy and estate matters. I am particularly proud to be a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. I serve as well as an officer and on the boards of many civic and charitable organizations.

Attorney Harris handled my Chapter 13. He took the time to research and advise me on the best decisions for me.

I would highly recommend Mr. Harris to represent anyone in a financial matter. He advised me first during a free initial consultation. Then he represented me through the filing of my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. His years of knowledge and professionalism were truly a comfort during this process and he made it very simple as well. He truly puts his client's needs first and his personal demeanor was a pleasure. His fees are VERY reasonable, given the time and work he put into my case.

I was in a very complicated situation involving an IRS legal matter. David Harris was there every step of the way guiding me in my legal matter. Though the situation was emotional for me on a client level, David remained level headed and guided me forward all the way through to resolution. Once the matter was finally resolved, David checked in with me to let me know he was still accessible for any other matter I was particularly pleased with the way that David answered any questions quickly that we had in relations to our case for the entire period of being a client. I would recommend David with a 5+ star rating, especially if you want to reach a resolution and get results for your legal matter.

Mr. Harris was excellent handling my case from the outset. My main concern was communication as I figured he had many other clients other than myself and would therefore be unable to respond quickly but every email I sent his way was responded to promptly and if there was anything he needed from me, he was quick to let me know. I would recommend Mr. Harris to anyone in need of the services he provides.

David was wonderful in helping us with real estate transactions. He was very detailed oriented and thorough which helped us feel protected and heard throughout the process. I highly recommend David for assistance in legal manners.

If you are filing bankruptcy, I would def recommend David, we had quite a substantial debt including IRS and all went smooth and got discharged. David appears to be lawyer with great integrity and his fees are quite competitive for the amount of experience he has.
