George Bochanis

Personal Injury Law

631 South 9th St., Las Vegas, NV 89101

The George Bochanis Injury Law Offices was established in 1985. Before opening his office, Mr. Bochanis spent years representing major insurance companies in litigation cases and prior to that was a law clerk to a prominent local district court judge. Our offices have grown from a small one person setting to having its own well known office location on South Ninth Street in Downtown Las Vegas with 15 employees. Over the past 28 years of practice, Mr. Bochanis has helped thousands of locals and tourists who have had their lives disrupted and sometimes ruined as a result of the carelessness and negligence of others. We have represented the widest range of clients, from high profile wrongful death cases to those who were able to recover from their harms and losses in a short period of time. Our previous clients are our main referral source of new clients because of our efforts and the results we get for them. Mr. Bochanis is the past president of the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association/Nevada Justice Association and has served on its Board of Governors since 1995. He holds the highest AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell National Law Directory for every year since 2000. We have also just been awarded the Martindale-Hubbell Client Distinction Award which is received by less than 1% of the 900,000 attorneys listed on martindale.com and lawyers.com. He has also received other top lawyer ratings from other national and local sources such as the American Trial Lawyers Association, Super Lawyers and MyLasVegas Magazine. Mr. Bochanis is also involved in many community and church activities and organizations in Las Vegas and Henderson. In an ongoing effort to help the community, the law office offers an annual $5,000 need-based scholarship. But even with all the awards and recognition our law firm has received, our proudest accomplishments are the testimonials and referrals from our past clients whom we have been able to help during their difficult times.

Heather Harris

Personal Injury Law

10300 W Charleston Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89135, USA

Heather was raised in Northern California and graduated from Lodi High School in 1993. In 1997, Heather completed her undergraduate education early and received a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies, with honors, from the University of California Santa Barbara. As a result of her academic achievements, Heather was awarded a scholarship and chose to attend the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. Initially, Heather planned to focus her legal career on environmental law, but that changed after working at an on-campus legal clinic helping indigent clients. As a result of her experience, Heather developed a new plan for her career: helping injured people. After graduating from McGeorge in 2001, Heather started her career in Las Vegas and was determined to gain litigation experience with top-rated lawyers as her mentors. Heather secured a position as an associate attorney for a prestigious regional law firm. She spent the first few years of her career honing her litigation skills by managing a large caseload for numerous corporate clients. Her experience handling civil cases in both State and Federal Court proved invaluable and provided a solid foundation for her future as a tenacious litigate. Although she enjoyed success in this position and sharpened her skills as an advocate, Heather decided to move on when she was contacted by the City of North Las Vegas to work as a deputy city attorney. She loved her new position, but quickly found she missed litigation. In 2006, Heather decided it was time to get back to helping individuals and she began the next phase of her career working for Harris Schwartz. In 2008, Heather and partner, personal injury lawyer Brian K. Harris, formed their current firm, Harris & Harris Lawyers. Since the beginning of Harris & Harris Lawyers, Heather has been exclusively committed to representing injured victims. She meets with her clients personally and they know she is working every day to get the results they need and deserve. Heather has successfully litigated hundreds of cases in Nevada. She is an active member of the State Bar of Nevada, the American Bar Association, the Clark County Bar Association, and is a sustaining member of the Nevada Justice Association. She is also a sustaining member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum; an organization that recognizes trial lawyers throughout the United States who have achieved Multi-Million Dollar verdicts and settlements. Recently, Heather was also recognized for her consistent successful results by being named one of the Top 40 Lawyers under 40 in Nevada. She has also served as a Member of the Board for Neighborhood Housing Services of Southern Nevada, an organization that assists low-income families to find housing. Heather has made numerous television and media appearances to promote safety awareness and provide legal tips to the Southern Nevada community. Heather loves being a trial lawyer. As she learned early on, Heather believes there is truly no satisfaction like winning for an injured person who needs her help. She states, “as a trial lawyer, there is no greater feeling of success than when clients thank me for standing up for them and getting their lives back. That is my goal every time. I will always stand up for injured victims.”

James D. Urrutia

Personal Injury Law

7575 Vegas Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89128, USA

As a seasoned litigator and trial attorney, my journey in the legal field began with a profound realization early in my career. While meticulously tracking every minute and creating billable hours, I discovered a different approach to legal practice—one that aligns with my values and economic insights: the contingency fee arrangement. This revelation led me to delve into contingency-based work, particularly in personal injury law. With each passing day, my conviction deepened that this was the perfect fit for my skills and principles, and I have never looked back since. It was this passion that drove me to establish The LJU Law Firm, a practice dedicated to serving a diverse clientele with unwavering commitment and expertise. At The LJU Law Firm, my focus areas include trial law and personal injury, encompassing product liability, motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, trip and falls, paralysis, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), amputation, back surgeries, and neck surgeries. I also specialize in civil rights cases, including 1983 claims, excessive force, medical indifference, First Amendment rights, and retaliation. Every jury verdict, whether a victory or defeat, represents a significant accomplishment in my pursuit of justice for my clients. In my legal journey, I have found that every case, regardless of its size, holds its own unique lessons and memorable moments. Some of the most rewarding experiences have come from securing substantial settlements for our clients. I take great pride in actively listening to and maintaining regular communication with my clients, ensuring that they understand they are not alone in their legal battles.My commitment extends beyond the courtroom. I work tirelessly to help clients access the necessary medical treatment for their pain and injuries and ensure they receive fair and reasonable settlements. Collaboration and open communication with our dedicated team members are integral to our success.One standout achievement in our practice involved a product liability case that took us on a five-year journey, involving countless hours, and trips to Hanover, Germany, Ohio, and Manchester, UK, as well as numerous depositions. In the end, we secured a remarkable $12.1 million settlement for a deserving widow, providing her with the financial support she needed in the wake of her loss At The LJU we are not only advocates for our clients but also active participants in our community. We are proud members of the Nevada Justice Association and are dedicated to making our society stronger through legal advocacy Outside of the courtroom, I find joy in a variety of pursuits, including golf, spending time with family, basketball, mountain biking, and attending concerts and comedy shows.
