With his strong work ethic, experience on both sides of the docket, an interest in using sophisticated technology to make strong legal points and an impressive legal record, it’s no wonder that Jonathan Harris has earned the gratitude of clients and the respect of his peers. Jonathan came to SMSH after years of working as a defense attorney for insurance companies and big corporations. This background gives him inside knowledge on how the other side evaluates cases and claims, and insight on what it takes to make a strong case for plaintiffs. Jonathan specializes in cases involving auto and trucking accidents and is one of a small percentage of lawyers in Texas who are Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

He was recently singled out as a Rising Star by Texas Monthly’s Super Lawyers Magazine and one of H Magazine’s Top Lawyers for the People.
