About Marjory
Marjory Harris earned her J.D. from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1974. She completed her legal training during a period of change in California labor and disability law. The early years of her career coincided with significant developments in workers' compensation and employer liability, which shaped the kinds of cases she took on.
After law school Harris began practicing in California. She has worked in the field for more than five decades. Over that time she has developed a steady practice handling matters that arise when people are injured on the job. Her work has involved both contested claims and negotiated settlements. She represents clients before administrative forums and in related proceedings.
Harris holds a workers' compensation certification from the State Bar of California. That credential signals a sustained engagement in this area of law. She also maintains membership in the California Applicants Lawyers Association (CAAA), a group that brings together attorneys who represent injured workers. Those professional ties keep her connected to developments in statutes, case law, and administrative practice.
Her practice has involved hearings before administrative bodies and litigation tied to benefit disputes. She prepares claims, handles depositions, and files appeals when necessary. She has experience explaining medical reports, vocational evidence, and statutory entitlements to adjudicators and opposing counsel. Colleagues say she approaches procedural and evidentiary issues methodically and expects thorough preparation from her teams.
Clients who work with Harris encounter an attorney accustomed to the pace of administrative calendars. She is comfortable in informal negotiations and in formal hearings. She pays attention to deadlines that control eligibility and benefit calculations. Over time she has handled cases involving acute injuries, cumulative trauma claims, and disputes over permanent disability ratings and apportionment.
Outside of casework she stays current on changes in workers' compensation law through professional meetings and association involvement. She values clear communication with clients about the limits of remedies and the timing of appeals. That practical orientation guides case strategy and client counseling.
Marjory Harris continues to practice in California and concentrates her work on workers' compensation matters, representing injured workers in administrative and related proceedings.
