In the last 25 years, in multiple jurisdictions, Alan Harvey has had extensive trial experience in the criminal and civil arena from acting as a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, to defending those in employment, labor, and criminal matters. "I believe that everyone deserves competent counsel."  Alan Harvey has been in and out of the Northwest since 1966.  Alan attended the University of Texas at Austin, and received a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Political Science and History. Alan spent the next three years working in the financial and medical industry.   Alan then decided that it was time to seek a law degree.   Alan then attended the University of Idaho College of Law and in 1994 received a Juris Doctorate.

Alan was bitten by the litigation bug in his third year of law school  Alan was a legal intern for an attorney who had the public defense contract in Latah County, Idaho.   As an intern Alan sat second chair for two murder trials, a Habitual Felony Offender trial, and a defended individuals solo as to misdemeanor trials and preliminary hearings.   Upon graduation from Law School, Alan was asked to assist in the defense of a capital murder.   Alan went on to work in criminal defense until 1999.  At this time he changed course and became a prosecutor.  In 2014, Alan left the Clark County Prosecutors Office, after being a Senior Deputy assigned to the Major Crimes Unit and for over 5 years he was assigned to the Children's Justice Center. 

Alan has stated the following about his experience in the profession:

  In the time I have been involved in the legal profession, I have dedicated a portion of my private time to public service and indirectly service to my the past this involved being involved in educating students in middle schools about the laws related to possession and/or use of firearms on school grounds.  It was also my pleasure to direct the Mock Trial Program for two years and also coach for a two different schools for four years. In March of 2012 I had an experience in the courtroom, where a defendant had seizures and I attempted to render aide to him.  I felt as though I could have done more for him had I some training."   (see links: 1.  ;  2.  )

 A few weeks later I decided to try out for the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol.  I wanted to combine my love of the outdoors with my desire to receive training in advanced first aid and help others in need.  I was accepted on to the Mt. Ski Patrol and got excellent training. In the last three years I have dedicated time to the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol.  This has allowed me to provide treatment to those who are involved in activities at Mount Hood and who also enjoy the outdoors.
