About Cal
Cal Harris built his working life around the courtroom. He finished a B.S. in English Literature at Furman University in 1986 and earned a J.D. from Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law in 1989. Those academic choices set a clear course toward litigation and trial practice.
Early in his career Harris moved into trial work. Over the years he developed a routine familiar to many litigators: case investigation, witness preparation, motion practice, and days spent in court. He is known among colleagues for steady courtroom presence and for managing complex litigation calendars. That steady presence grew into a practiced trial approach at Poole Huffman, LLC, where he serves as a trial lawyer.
At Poole Huffman, Mr. Harris handles disputes that reach the courtroom. He has tried cases before judges and juries and handled pretrial proceedings that shape the contours of litigation. His work requires coordinating discovery, preparing witnesses, and arguing dispositive motions. He focuses on practical resolution where possible, but he also prepares each matter as if it will go to trial.
Harris maintains membership in the State Bar of Georgia and practices in Georgia courts. That membership keeps him linked to the procedural and ethical standards that govern trial practice in the state. He follows developments in Georgia law and adjusts strategies as case law and statutes change. Peers describe him as methodical in preparation and clear when presenting arguments.
Outside the immediate demands of a case Harris pays attention to the details that matter in litigation. He reads case files thoroughly. He prepares exhibits. He times trial presentations so jurors can follow the story being told. Those are small elements that often determine outcomes at trial. He also works with clients to explain options and likely costs. Clear communication about risk and process is part of how he handles cases.
Over decades of practice, Harris has remained in trial practice rather than shifting entirely to transactional work. That continuity has shaped his approach to litigation and client counseling. He continues to work at Poole Huffman, LLC where he represents clients in civil litigation and serves as a trial lawyer focused on resolving contested matters in Georgia courts.
