Excellent Service

I reached out to Randy Harvey's office to get assistance with appealing an Unemployment Insurance denial. Despite the fact that the deadline for filing was in only two days, they submitted my appeal on time. The appeal was successful and I got my denial reversed. Thank you for great service.

24 Hour Notice and Randy was amazing!

I was commanded to do a deposition for the plaintiff against my former employer who I had a specific and detailed severance and confidentiality agreement with with only 4 days notice and my previous lawyer out of town. I know I needed good representation and now. I literally called Randys firm on... a Tuesday at 3:30pm, a real person Luke answered and he kindly had me email my situation on their website, set me up immediately for a phone conference with Randy the next day at 3pm, and helped me successfully execute my first Deposition by noon on that Thursday! The most positive experience I have ever had with a law firm and I had never even met Randy and his team before nor Even paid them a dime until I was all done at the end! I have never heard of any law office accommodating a stranger with such speed and genuine kindness. From Luke making sure my phone call was answered and situation looked at AND appt made within 24hrs, to Lori who even called ME back to make sure my needs were met and questions answered, to Randy who gave me expert and timely advice in a kind and patient manner to Bree who ordered and delivered my free delicious lunch after my deposition. Randy gave me enough sound legal advice in 15 minutes to probably do just fine the next day, but he was so accommodating and knowledgeable, I ended up hiring him just for this Deposition and was so glad I did! Randy took time out of his busy schedule, with ONLY 3 hours notice, to help this distraught “stranger” successfully do my first depo with flying colors and a smile on my face. He made me look good and his law firm treated me not like a stranger, but made me feel like a well known and established celebrity client who they were friends with. I was blown away and had to write this review to tell everyone and thank Employment Law Professionals again! WOW!!!

Best in the Business

Employment Law Professionals are simply the best when it comes to Employment Law in Oregon. Everyone on the team makes you feel welcome and will listen to your questions and concerns. I was represented by Andrew, and he did an outstanding job preparing my case from start to finish. His communicati...on with me from the start was exceptional..I know I can be a hard person to communicate with! It was also very encouraging to have Randy sit in on our first strategy meeting. It made me feel like I finally had a team in my corner! Thank you again to everyone at Employment Law Professionals, your hard work and dedication helped me win my case!

Superb

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.

Best Lawyer I've Ever Had

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.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. I've worked with Mr. Harvey on several projects, and can say without hesitation that he is everything you would want and expect in a legal advocate. Aside from his legal proficiency and knowledge, Mr. Harvey is one of the few lawyers who can stand in court and handle judges without his knees shaking. Nowadays, too many lawyers enter the profession without the confidence and communicative ability to stand and argue without nervous buckling. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an advocate who isn't afraid of standing up for them and their cause not only on paper but in court."

Employment and labor lawyer | Apr 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am privileged to have known Randy for more than a decade, as a fellow practicing attorney. Having been an engineer for 20 years before practicing law, I am keenly aware of details that make or break a case. Randy is one of the rare attorneys that, although lacking a science background, has the mind of an engineer when it comes to solving his clients problems. He is extremely thorough in researching the law and his clients’ case, and applying the unique facts of his clients' situation to the law to obtain the best outcome for his clients. Because of his unique skills and experience, Randy is a great advocate for his client. Randy also has an uncanny ability to unearth opposing clients' weaknesses which enable him to offensively tackle any opposition, instead of adopting a defensive posture. In the unfortunate event that employment litigation is necessary, Randy is the attorney I would want on my side."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
