For Genie Harrison, Justice Is Personal

Genie understands that seeking justice can be hard. A survivor may have to confront a powerful employer, executive, or institution. The legal process can also force a client to revisit painful events.

Genie wants her clients to feel heard, believed, and treated with dignity. She believes a successful case should do more than provide compensation. It should help the client regain control and move forward.

Leadership Beyond the Courtroom

Genie also created Resolve Law Los Angeles, a virtual settlement conference program for the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The program helped attorneys and their clients resolve civil cases when in-person proceedings were disrupted.

In 2022, the California Employment Lawyers Association presented Genie with its highest honor, the Joe Posner Award, for her service to employees and the legal profession.

Developing Better Tools for Victims and Their Attorneys

In 2019, Genie created the Damages Genie App. The app helps clients explain how workplace misconduct has affected their health, emotions, relationships, and daily lives.

It also helps lawyers understand the full impact of the harm. The app reflects Genie’s belief that every client deserves to have their story heard and understood.

What Clients Can Expect

People often contact the firm during one of the hardest times in their lives. They may have lost a job, faced abuse, or watched an employer damage a career they worked years to build.

Genie begins by listening. She works to understand what happened, how it affected the client, and what the client hopes to achieve. She then helps the client consider the available legal options.

No two cases are the same. Some clients want to protect their careers. Others want compensation, accountability, or the chance to prevent the same conduct from harming someone else. Genie builds each legal strategy around the facts of the case and the client’s goals.
