About the Firm

Bayside lawyers who speak plainly — and know the law

Tragear & Harris has been a trusted part of the Bayside legal community since 1970, when the firm was founded by Kevin Tragear. Kevin led the firm until his retirement in 2011, when Kim Harris took over as Principal. Since 2021, the firm has been led by Principal Ganesh Loganathan, continuing the same commitment to families, individuals, and businesses across the Sandringham and Bayside area.
