When our company faced a complex wrongful termination lawsuit in Dallas, we knew we needed the best counsel. Hiring John Harrison from Ogletree Deakins was the smartest decision we made. With over three decades of experience and his board certification in labor and employment law from the Texas Board, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He expertly guided us through the litigation process, explaining every strategic nuance without resorting to legalese. His dual licensure in Texas and Tennessee, a detail we didn't initially appreciate, proved invaluable as the case involved multi-state elements. John’s calm, methodical approach and his recognition in management-side employment law gave our leadership team immense confidence. He secured a highly favorable settlement that protected our interests completely. John isn't just a lawyer; he's a strategic partner who combines his University of Virginia-honed legal acumen with practical business sense. We recommend him without reservation.
