Take a look at this webpage:
http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/graduate-program/llm-profiles/

74 percent of accepted students had at least two years of practical experience

I would give it a try anyway if you have the money and you are driven to go to HLS. Take your time in gathering your application materials and identifying your specific strengths. There's no harm in trying. I would carefully read the directions of the application process. Admissions committees are notoriously picky about the way the application is filled/omitted data/etc. Perhaps look at previously accepted admission candidate profiles/ask a student was was accepted? All in all, don't give up. Good luck!

In my personal experience, I have seen that the students that have more proffesional experience (at least 2-3 years) have better understanding of the courses since they can see the pratical applicantion and not only the theoric as in the university, so they take a better advantage with the LLM.

I recommed to do the LLM with some professional experience!
