Why we do what we do.

The whole idea is helping people.

Sean Harris grew up the son of a plaintiff’s lawyer. His dad, Jay Harris, was his hero and taught him the importance of helping injured folks get back on their feet.

Sean is a Past President of the Ohio Association for Justice (OAJ), the only state-wide organization dedicated to persuading lawmakers not to take away Ohioan’s constitutional rights.  He is also the host of OAJ’s podcast, Civilly Speaking.

He gives frequent talks to attorneys around the state on all kinds of personal injury topics. Sean also testifies before the General Assembly and meets with elected officials about pending legislation affecting the ability for injured people to hold wrongdoers accountable.

Sean proudly serves on the Alumni Board of Trustees at his alma mater, The Ohio Wesleyan University.

“I consider [trial by jury] as the only anchor, ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of it’s constitution.”

Th. Jefferson, letter to Thomas Paine, July 11, 1789
