Harris Federal Employee Law Firm

What Harris Federal Employee Law Firm does

Harris Federal Employee Law Firm is a privately held, founder-owned U.S. law firm founded in 2008 by brothers Brad and Bo Harris, specializing exclusively in federal employee benefits law. Its core practice is representing federal employees in FERS Federal Disability Retirement applications (providing 60% of high-three salary in year one, 40% thereafter until age 62, plus continued health/life insurance) and OWCP Federal Workers' Compensation claims (wage loss, medical bill coverage, schedule awards) before the OPM and Department of Labor. The firm has expanded its product surface to include Social Security Disability Insurance, Veterans Affairs Disability appeals, Employment Discrimination (EEO) representation, and Third Party Liability/Personal Injury claims, alongside the specialized sub-product OWCP Schedule Awards.

The firm operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market built around free consultations offered via phone, multi-step web intake forms, and text messaging, layered on top of an educational content engine — a twice-monthly webinar series, FAQ and benefit-guide libraries, 50 state-specific landing pages, YouTube client testimonials, and an email newsletter — designed to capture federal employees while they research their benefit options. Physical offices are in Lexington, Kentucky (headquarters), Washington D.C. (regional HQ near the federal regulatory corridor), and Austin, Texas (founders' hometown), giving it a three-city footprint that nonetheless serves clients in all 50 states and abroad.

The firm reports it has successfully represented more than 14,000 federal employees, carries a self-reported 99% success rate and 4.9 average Google rating across 1,800+ reviews, and markets a 100% money-back guarantee. Revenue is not disclosed; the firm is bootstrapped with no institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and operates as a single legal entity under founder control with no AI or proprietary technology stack. The business model is straightforward professional-services fees on individual client matters.

Direct peers

• Shawn M. Boyd, Attorney at Law: Solo/small firm focused on federal disability retirement representation. Comparable niche specialization and direct-to-federal-employee acquisition model, though smaller scale.
• Pistilli & Associates: A long-standing direct competitor focusing on federal disability retirement and OWCP claims. Highly comparable to Harris Federal in practice mix, target customer (federal employees), and direct-to-consumer intake model.
• The Devins Law Firm: Federal employment law practice handling disciplinary actions, EEO complaints, and disability retirement claims. Comparable client base and partial overlap on practice areas.
• The Marks Law Firm: Federal employment law firm representing federal employees in adverse actions, EEO, and disability retirement matters. Comparable target market and overlap on FERS/EEO practice areas.
• Law Offices of Harold W. Conwell & Associates: Specialized federal employee benefits firm with primary focus on FERS disability retirement. Closely comparable in niche, customer segment, and contingency-based representation model.
• Crews & Hancock, Attorneys at Law: Federal employee benefits firm handling FERS disability retirement and OWCP claims. Directly comparable in practice areas, customer base (federal employees nationwide), and marketing approach.
• Lipinski Law: Federal employment law firm representing federal employees in adverse actions, MSPB appeals, and discrimination claims. Comparable target customer and partial overlap on EEO and disability-related matters.

Emerging players

• Kantor & Kantor: Disability insurance and benefits denial firm representing claimants in ERISA, long-term disability, and SSDI matters. Comparable on disability benefits advocacy and denial-appeal work, though not exclusively federal employee focused.
• Dell & Schaefer: Disability insurance and ERISA denial firm with national reach. Comparable on representing claimants against benefit denials, though the practice extends beyond federal employees into private disability insurance.

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: Large national plaintiff firm with broad personal injury, workers' compensation, and employment practices. Adjacent on workers' comp and disability representation but not specialized in federal employee benefits.
