About Justin A.
Justin A. Harriman combined two very different undergraduate fields and then turned to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Boston College in 2008, majoring in physics and political science. That mix of quantitative training and a grounding in government and policy proved a steady foundation for the next step. He returned to Boston College for law school and received his J.D. in 2014.
His path into the legal profession has remained tied to Massachusetts. After finishing law school, Harriman began his legal career and is listed as a lawyer at Altman & Altman LLP. He is a member of the State Bar of Massachusetts and is authorized to practice in the state. Colleagues describe him as attentive to detail and comfortable working through dense documents and technical material; that reflects his earlier academic focus as much as any on-the-job learning.
The combination of physics and political science is unusual for someone in private practice. It gives Harriman an ability to parse numerical issues alongside statutory and regulatory questions. He often approaches problems by isolating the facts that matter and then testing how the law applies to those facts. He has relied on that method in client work and in dealings with opposing counsel and courts.
At Altman & Altman LLP he handles matters for clients in Massachusetts. The firm role is his primary professional base and where he has carried out most of his practice. He maintains active membership in the state bar and keeps up with continuing legal education and local legal community activities.
Harriman’s record is one of steady professional development rather than public-facing litigation headlines or academic appointments. He practices law at Altman & Altman LLP in Massachusetts.
