About

First and foremost I am a family man. I've been married to my lovely wife Shelly for nearly 46 years, we have four children and eleven grandchildren. Prior to starting the practice of law in 2008, I was a Director of Human Resources for 13 years in two large Oregon school districts. Before that, I was a school principal for 13 years at middle and elementary schools in Oregon and a special education director for 4 years.  In 2004 I won the World Championship of Public Speaking in Toastmasters International and have put my speaking skills to work in courtrooms and administrative practice. I have always been a lifelong learner having earned a Ph.D., Masters's in Bible and Theology, Masters's in Ed, and two bachelor's degrees in addition to my law degree and am currently completing a ThM at Western Seminary.  Oregon State Bar: House of Delegates April 18, 2018-present, Region 4, previously House of Delegates April 21, 2015-April 16, 2018 Region 7.Admitted to Practice In:California State Court                                           Oregon State CourtNinth Circuit Court of AppealsEastern District Federal Court California            Oregon District Federal CourtNorthern District Federal Court CaliforniaCentral District Federal Court CaliforniaMember:California Bar, Oregon Bar, Multnomah County Bar,American Bar AssociationAmerican Association for JusticeOregon Trial Lawyers AssociationSuper LawyersLawyers of DistinctionAVVO I am an advocate for my clients.

Randy Harvey handled my lawsuits that dealt basically with wrongful termination and discrimination. He provided excellent guidance through this process. Randy is very personable and honest. He responded promptly to my concerns. I found him to be especially knowledgeable about educational and labor laws. I would wholeheartedly recommend him!

Randy has provided our company with rock solid advice and guidance through our legal matter in and out of court. We really can't say enough good things about him but we'd begin by saying his expertise and confidence offers a sense of safety and security through the turbulence and complexity of legal matters.

No one wants to "need" a legal representative, so Randy Harvey's calm persona was very welcome. With strength and experience, Randy steps in and takes responsibility for moving the matter forward. His professional manner, with an unexpected streak of witty humor, made for a pleasant experience. Randy is excellent at distilling the essential points from a complicated situation. His staff members are friendly and efficient. I am very satisfied.

Randy is the third lawyer I've hired in my life, and he is the only one who: sent itemized monthly statements, explained things promptly, showed me documents for my approval before sending them, and made me feel like I had power in the process. He also settled my case faster than any other lawyer. I highly recommend Randy Harvey to anyone in search of an honest lawyer.

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Randy through the California Bar Association. Randy handled an employment issue for me with my former employer of almost 30 years. Randy’s command of California and federal labor law along with his ability to listen to me and quickly understand the issues was truly appreciated and resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. Randy and his staff were always available as we worked through the process and all of this was accomplished over the phone and from two thousand miles away as I had moved to the south central region of the country. Thank you Randy!

Randy has been with our small business from the beginning. Not only did he help us form our business, he has helped us collect on unpaid bills, create contracts to avoid costly misunderstandings, and plan for long-term growth. I have recommended him on a number of occasions to our friends and colleagues.

He listened intently to what I communicated the problem to be and acknowledged his understanding and asked appropriate questions to gain more insight into the problem. Randy expressed the legal issues, strategies, and possible outcomes in clear understandable English. I felt relieved and confident that my case was handled competently and professionally from start to finish. He communicated clearly the options, made recommendations about what action needed to be take, when appropriate, while empowering me to make an informed decision. I have had the opportunity to use Randy Harvey's services multiple times; without hesitation I would not hesitate to call him again for council if needed.

Sometimes a person needs an attorney - especially when the emotional angst and legal complications of certain situations require a professional. Randy was referred to me by another attorney (a good sign), and I was thoroughly impressed by the speed with which he was able to handle and resolve my issue. He provided clear communication, great legal advice, outlined the issues effectively and was very honest and affordable. He is also a very pleasant and accessible person. I received a reasonable decision for a reasonable and fair cost. I truly appreciated the advice, guidance and support. I recommend Randy and should the need arise, I will use his services again. :)

I contacted Mr. Harvey through a legal referral service and was extremely impressed with his knowledge regarding California State Regulatory Boards, specifically the Respiratory Care Board. In response to my application for renewal of my license, The Board questioned my background regarding an "alleged" conviction on my record, of which I had no knowledge. Mr. Harvey took the reins, sent letters to the Board on my behalf and responded to all correspondence from them. He even had an investigator get a thorough background check on me to validate my background in terms of any criminal convictions. the outcome was this: The Board issued my license without restrictions and ceased to question my credibility as a Practitioner. Thanks again to Mr. Harvey in resolving this very serious situation.
