- As I start my transition from BigLaw to solo practitioner, I stumbled on one of your articles and after just reading the first couple of lines I could not stop [until the] end. Great, eye-opening read. Thanks. Gustavo Laborde Shearman & Sterling LLP
- Harrison Barnes you're a genius. Who writes your articles? They're so right on! I've been reading your work of art for so long I can't remember when I started. Practicing for over 25 years your words are gospel to lawyers. Thank you and keep it up. Michele M. Volpe Bershtein, Volpe & McKeon P.C.
- I just have to say that I am impressed with how prolific you are with the articles that you write for your website. You write so many articles! And each one has so much substance to it and is really in depth and provides great advice. And I am not saying this to get a testimonial on the website. I just had to write because I was so impressed.
I find the legal market extremely vexing and you put that into words extremely well. Thanks. Jeff Cohen - I really enjoyed your article titled "The Top Reasons Why Money Is the Dumbest Thing Any Attorney Should Focus on When Joining a Law Firm." It was relatable, inspiring and definitely worth breaking through the short attention span that plagues us today (especially when it comes to articles online). Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Dani
- I always enjoy reading your articles. Catherine van Kampen, Esq. Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP
