Founding Partner
Richard Harris Law Firm
My dad was the hardest worker I ever knew. My mom had the biggest heart. They were perfect role models for me as a personal injury lawyer. No one outworks me, and I take time to empathetically listen to and connect with our injured clients. Although we’re Nevada’s largest personal injury firm, we know each client, and their case - large or small - is individually handled. We also are a family business and I work with all three of my kids every day. For me, business success, fatherhood, and family are inseparable so it’s never out of balance.

I wish that I had all the answers about balancing success and fatherhood but, as I think about it, there are three main things that have helped me along the way. First, I have an amazing wife and partner that I absolutely trust. Second, I have learned to define what I want in life and to keep those goals in the forefront of my mind. Finally, I rely on my faith to help keep me going in the direction that leads to where I want to be. These may not work for everyone, but they work for me.

Life is about balance. I learned from a mentor that life is similar to a bicycle wheel with every spoke representing a different part of life - fatherhood, marriage, family, work, play, faith, health, philanthropy, rest, self-care. You’ll never be perfectly balanced, but the goal is to keep life as harmonious as possible to always keep moving forward. Challenges are inevitable, but I believe in transforming them into lessons that foster continual growth. This journey allows me to evolve into a better dad, husband, friend, and businessman each day.
