“There is no better lawyer on this planet than Jonathan Harris and his team. I interviewed several other firms, and they all said I didn't have a chance. Mr. Harris not only took my case, he then relentlessly proceeded to win me a 23.6 million dollar verdict. If you want to win, get Jon and his firm to take you on.”

"Evan W. Bolla and the team at Harris St. Laurent did an outstanding job of efficiently reviewing and advising us on a number of insurance, employment, and litigation issues. Having outside counsel you can trust to provide streamlined top quality analysis focusing on your company’s unique situation is necessary for any successful general counsel. You would be hard pressed to do better than the team at Harris St. Laurent."

"Harris St. Laurent is a group of incredibly talented and personable people. I worked most closely with Vanessa Biondo and she did an exceptional job of quickly understanding my unique situation, my needs and how to best achieve success. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I felt she was very invested in my success. I will be working with Vanessa for all of my employment needs in the future, as there is no one else I’d want advocating for me."

"When the government came after me for things it said my former employer had done, I had to fight back. Andrew St. Laurent and the lawyers at Harris St. Laurent found the holes in the government’s case and got the case settled on good terms and quickly."
Former securities industry professional
"The team at Harris St. Laurent (Jon Harris, Julie Withers and Joe Gallagher) gave us the professional and personal support we needed to litigate a contentious exit with a very difficult Fortune 300 company. JJ&J were professional, sophisticated, pragmatic, ethical and most importantly human in guiding us to a successful exit. We trust Harris St. Laurent completely with our most important and sensitive matters."

"The team at Harris St. Laurent is truly exceptional. Yonaton Aranoff, Evan Bolla and Andrew St. Laurent have consistently provided efficient top-notch representation for companies at which I serve as general counsel. They have the all too rare ability to provide practical advice when dealing with complex legal matters. They partner with their clients, are strategic in formulating their advice and are unwavering advocates. They are the “go to” firm if you have a particularly challenging or difficult legal matter."

"Days after his high school graduation, our beloved, Brandon Hendricks-Ellison, was the unintended victim of a senseless shooting. To honor his life, family and close friends sought to pay it forward by establishing a scholarship foundation in his name. Upon hearing our desire, Harris St. Laurent & Wechsler quickly moved to provide pro bono assistance to guide our actions and prepare the required documents. Their high level of professional service was only eclipsed by their sensitivity and understanding of our extreme grief. The synergy of family and law firm during this trying time could not have been more efficient. Kudos to Afrodite Fountas, Martin Braxton and the entire Harris St. Laurent & Wechsler team, we are eternally grateful."

“I went from being one of the largest producers at one of the largest financial institutions in the world, to having that institution and the SEC dedicated to my destruction. Jon Harris secured financial compensation for me and exonerated me from liability in a trial in federal court. His combination of advocacy skills and financial acumen is second to none. I continue to work with him any time I need him and thank God for having him at my side.”

“Jon Harris, Megan Dubatowka and the team at Harris St. Laurent were able to provide clear and experienced advice on a difficult arbitration matter for us. They were extremely responsive to all of our requests and were able to guide us through the various stages of arbitration to expertly handle a complicated matter in a developing industry. They were able to work with the management team as well as the Board to respond to various needs and questions and were open to discuss alternative paths in order to reach a positive resolution.”

"If I had to hire an attorney to help myself or a loved one, Yonaton Aronoff would be the first and only call I would make. He’s smart, he’s driven and he’s a fighter. When it matters, this is a guy you want in your corner."

"When I left my job at a boutique investment management firm after more than a decade, Harris St. Laurent negotiated my exit so that I received all of my already earned but deferred compensation (over 7 figures cash) and facilitated our clean-cut split on amicable and well-defined terms."
Hedge Fund Manager
"I highly recommend Joe Gallagher and Andrew St. Laurent. I engaged them to handle a fast-paced Second Circuit appeal for one of my clients. Joe and Andrew were quick studies – they reviewed the extensive record, identified the key arguments for appeal, and brought their significant appellate expertise to bear in preparing a compelling presentation of the case – both in the briefing and in Joe's persuasive argument to the Second Circuit. Both were incredibly responsive and worked collaboratively with in-house and external counsel for the client, and achieved excellent results on the appeal."

"Joseph Gallagher and Harris St. Laurent helped me through an incredibly difficult settlement negotiation when I chose to end my business partnership. Joe was my direct representation, and he provided invaluable guidance and support throughout the process. He handled all communication with opposing counsel, oversaw the mediation process and prepared the final term sheet and settlement agreement. This was an arduous process, but working with Joe and the Harris St. Laurent team made it much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance."

"Dr. Delgado is the most skilled expert I have worked with, particularly in terms of understanding and analyzing human and multi-cultural dynamics, as well as, relationships in complex communities and settings. Dr. Delgado's ability to "size up" a situation and then offer a sensible solution has greatly enhanced my skill as a trial lawyer. Her advice has not only assisted me in terms of dealing one-on-one with my clients, she also helped my defense team obtain a global understanding on how to deal with the individuals and communities involved in a case."
