I practiced in front of Judge Harrison for many years. After he retired from the bench and started working at Foster Swift, we had many conversations about life, travel destinations and wine! Mike was a wonderful man and a kind soul. I am so very fortunate to have had the pleasure to know Judge Harrison. He will be missed but will remain in the hearts and minds of many. Rest In Peace Judge Harrison.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Judge Harrison. He was a tough but fair judge. I remember seeing him walking down Washington Square after his retirement from the bench and told him I thought it looked like he was skipping, he said he thinks he was! Sounded like Foster Swift was a good retirement choice. Prayers to your family.

Mike was a hard working, dedicated Circuit Judge. He devoted his time to controlling his docket. He served the citizens of Lansing for many years as a legal scholar and gentleman. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear this; our sympathies to Debby, the Harrison family, and the community, who lost a great lawyer, an excellent judge, a terrific mentor to me and so many other lawyers, and, most importantly, a good man. He demanded the best, and always gave it. To work with, or in front of, Michael was always enlightening and educational......he will be sorely missed.
