In that year, Neil A. Harris, along with several other Chico State graduate students and advisers, created Senior Information and Referral Center (SIRC), a ten county Information and Referral, Outreach and Advocacy program for the elderly residents of Northeastern California. As executive director of that program, Mr. Harris successfully integrated legal services and social services to meet the unique needs of an aging clientele. In 2007, Mr. Harris merged his sole practice with a local law Firm. In that same year, Mr. Harris began mentoring Nicole Plottel, a young attorney who shared his view of humanizing the provision of legal services for the elderly. In 2011, Mr. Harris and Ms. Plottel formed Harris & Plottel, LLP. After years of collaborating on thousands of cases, they are most proud of the incredible benefit they have been able to provide their clients as a result of their team approach, supported by their wonderful & experienced staff.
