He worked during college for IBM at its corporate headquarters in Armonk, N.Y. and during law school for the Westchester County District Attorney and the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

He practices primarily in the areas of construction claims, premises liability, and employment practices law. An accomplished negotiator and trial attorney, Mr. Harris has tried, mediated, or settled numerous high exposure, multi-party cases with outstanding results.

He has served as a mediator in the City Court of White Plains and has been appointed and now serves as chairman of the Town of Lewisboro Parks & Recreation Advisory Council.
