Henry Harmeling

I contacted for consultation regarding corrupt contractor. He gave great advice and because of his good nature and helpfulness, you can bet I will continue to refer and hire as needed in the future.

Henry is an amazing attorney and very knowledgable. He truly cares about his clients and potential clients. Although I can not speak on the particulars of my Husband’s communication with him, he was very helpful with guidance and advice by phone and email. He was forthcoming about what would he a effective course of action and not just about getting a fee first before hearing about our case. Thank you!

I had the wonderful opportunity to work for Henry as a file clerk when I was an undergraduate student. He took a chance on me when I had a difficult time finding a legal opportunity to learn more about the profession. Henry not only employed me, but also took the time to explain the nuances of the civil legal process. I was able to observe several proceedings with him as well, and he gave me a detailed explanation about them. I was able to learn much from Henry about law, life, and how to conduct yourself as a professional. I observed firsthand the great care and attention to detail he payed to all of his clients respective cases. He always dealt with everyone fairly, honestly, and gave his very best efforts on their behalf. Many people may have preconceived (negative) notions about lawyers, but Henry will quickly change all of them! Henry even continued to assist me in my educational and professional endeavors long after I stopped working for him which is a tribute to his kindness, sincerity, and professionalism. Henry will be completely honest with you in regards to your legal concerns and if he can’t help you, he will gladly point you in the direction of someone who can.

Henry is exactly the Lawyer you are looking for. Deep understanding of the complications and nuances around the law, mixed with a understanding and graciousness that is far to difficult to find these day.
He has help us on several insurance related matters. In one instance, he provided great advice and allowed us to manage the process, which lead to our desired outcome. In the other matter, he took the lead, representing us during the proceedings, which again provided a positive outcome.
Don’t hesitate to contact Leucadia Law & Mediation for great legal counsel.

Leucadia Law & Mediation is the most professional law firm I have worked with. Henry Harmeling has become a friend of the family after several years of litigation for wrongful termination lawsuit. He helped us win our case and feel satisfied with the end results. He is extremely intelligent, polite, a forward thinker, articulate, and honestly cares about his clients. Henry also helped prepared legal documents for our nonprofit organization. He is a very dedicated man to his family and his work. If you want an honest lawyer who has your best interest at heart at all times Henry is your lawyer!

I found Henry while searching for a lawyer to represent my mom in a case over 6 years ago I believe and he’s been our go to guy ever since!
Henry has represented my family in both business and personal cases. We own a couple small businesses here in San Diego and we always refer our clients to him whenever possible. He has always been very professional, honest and helpful. One of his best qualities in my opinion is how accessible he makes himself to his clients, everytime I’ve called or emailed, he’s responded within 24 hours… many times with just a couple of hours!
Additionally many times I’ve emailed him with questions or advice on legal matters and he’s always given me his time, attention, and helped me out if possible and if it’s not in his area of expertise, he’s referred me to other lawyers, all without charge which I’ve always appreciated.
My myself and my family will continue to use Henry as our personal and business lawyer when needed.

Professional, effective and Amazing confident attorney. Would recommend him to anyone

Competent enough, but I disagree with other posters. He was not empathetic to my situation, and could not maintain enough objectivity during our discussion. Also, pushed another outside case that I did not want to pursue.

Henry Harmeling is a very kind and helpful attorney. I would highly recommend him, especially if you are looking for a good general litigator in North San Diego County. He is very sensitive (yes, he really is a litigator!). He is also down to earth.

I would be happy to recommend Henry to anyone that is in need of an attorney who is honest, approachable, down to earth and sensitive (yes, I did say sensitive when referring to an attorney). I have never been involved in a legal dispute before and my nerves were shot and I was very uncomfortable with the entire situation. Henry was very patient with me and reassured me along the way that we were making the right decisions.
I agree with a previous poster that I felt very taken care of and I appreciated being kept in the loop and having things explained to me in a way that I could comprehend.
Henry is thoughtful and handled my case the way he would if he were to be in my shoes and not just about the dollar signs. I trusted his advice along the way and on the final outcome.
I may have made him out to sound like a teddy bear but he is also intelligent and hardworking. He helped me to get tougher skin when I had self doubt, which is exactly what I needed!
Avoid the big law firms where you might just be another client. Give Henry a call if you want an attorney by your side who will have your best interest at heart.

After spending about 10 weeks to help found a startup venture, I decreased my involvement with the understanding that I would be compensated for that time after the venture was funded by investors. After that funding however, my partners seemed to forget about our contract and decide to move on without paying, even going so far as to plagarize my work in US patent applications without citing or informing me. I consulted Henry about this and received the free consultation as others have mentioned.
But more important than that initial consultation, was his sticktoitivness during the process, and it was a process, as my former partners decided to fight tooth and nail against my claims. The initial consultation with Henry was in March 2008. After trying unsuccessfully to negotiate a settlement, court papers were filed in October 2008. About 2,000 pages of documents and briefs later, in March 2010, Henry and I settled the matter with the former partners out of court, on agreeable terms.
My former partners brought to bear the full weight of a large Silicon Valley investment against us. That meant a team of no fewer that five, $ 500/​hour-​type lawyers, from eminent national firms (1 from Morgan-​Lewis in San Francisco, 3 from Wilson-​Sonsini here in SD & 1 from Bergeson, LLP in San Jose), filing papers in court and USPTO against us. But Henry helped me from beginning to end, always polite and courteous and forceful when necessary.

Henry helped me and my business while I was struggling through a very difficult case. This was my first brush with any type of legal activity and Henry did a great job explaining the process and making me feel comfortable along the way. I’m not going to go into details of my case, but I did feel compelled to write a review because I felt so taken care of in such a difficult and vulnerable time for me.
In the initial consult and throughout the entire process, I felt like he really listened to my thoughts and concerns and understood my needs and the big picture of where the case needed to go. Henry always appears extremely knowledgeable and fearless, yet still down to earth and approachable. I at once had the feeling that this is the type of lawyer that I want on my side.
I also felt that he handled the case exactly as we needed to — not too much and not too little. He is very thoughtful in determining how much effort is needed, so as not to burden me with extra costs. As a consequence, I felt like I wasn’t getting «over-​billed» as so many lawyers seem to do these days. Henry also took the time to understand my financial situation and was more than willing to work with me.
I would not hesitate to recommend Henry to anyone who needs an honest, intelligent, caring and resilient lawyer!
