Early life experiences clearly influenced my choice of the profession I have pursued with great passion in Columbus, Indiana, for more than 40 years."
Inspired by his father who was a physician, Harrison learned a lot about medicine while witnessing his dedication to saving lives and preventing them from being ruined. While serving in Vietnam, Harrison saw firsthand how people suffered without any relief in sight. This prompted him to make the career decision into the field of Law.

However, Harrison focused on personal injury and medical malpractice early in his career – resulting in a special depth and breadth of experience in those particular areas. In 1984, Harrison and his former partner Mr. Beck formed Beck Harrison, P.C. In 2010, Harrison established his solo practice, which focused on personal injury and medical malpractice cases.
