John Harkavy represented me in a personal injury lawsuit. Most importantly, the amount that John was able to obtain as a settlement significantly exceeded my expectations. Also of note, John always made himself available by either phone and emal for any questions or communications. He kept me well informed at every step of the process and his case summary and other work was clearly top notch. I would not hesitate to recommend him and to use him again in the future.

I hired John Harkavy because I had a complex issue with my IRA and the IRA custodian would not help in resolving my tax issues. I was owned considerable amount of money in IRS refunds. I had been working with the IRA Custodian who set up the account incorrectly and resulted in me not receiving the refunds. The company was not helpful. In fact they gave me incorrect advice on how to correct the situation. In a short period of time John Harkavy was able to resolve the issue and the company settled with me without litigation. John was direct and made it clear we would litigate if necessary.

John successfully helped us with a difficult case, and we are very pleased with the outcome. He listened patiently and carefully to both sides’ points of view, and after much negotiation with the other party and their lawyer, we got the result we were hoping for. He was always available to listen to our questions and concerns and gave his honest opinion about our expectations and what options were worthwhile to pursue. John is the consummate professional and is extremely knowledgeable. We would definitely hire him again!

Hired John to represent me in a personal injury claim. He did an amazing job gathering facts and speaking with the responsible parties to resolve my claim in our favor. He deposed the appropriate people and uncovered the information critical to prevailing in our claim. He did an excellent job keeping me abreast of the situation throughout the 3 year period from injury to settlement and was always available to answer my questions. John's advice in how to deal with my personal deposition was very helpful in making certain that my rights were protected at all times. I would definitely use John again and refer him without reservation for his legal expertise, communication skills and decisive approach.
