The law is my second profession.. Up until 2014, I worked as a classroom educator. While working  as a teacher I decided to pursue a law degree with an eye towards working with families in ways outside of the classroom.. I accepted a partial scholarship to Western State University College of Law. By the end of my program, I graduated 3rd in my class and I received two witkin awards for top student. I received these top honors while working 60 hours a week as a classroom educator.

Firm: A. L. Harvey Law, Professional Law Corporation

251 Auburn Ravine Rd , Auburn , California 95603

Practice Areas: Corporate & Incorporation

My goal is to provide proactive legal services to keep business owners away from litigation. I provide assistance with all aspects of your business from incorporation to employee management to closing your business or selling your shares.. Small and Mid Size Business owners need legal representation or advice for everyday business matters such as contract negotiation, hiring and firing decisions, employee handbook help and collections but not necessarily full time corporate counsel. Many businesses choose not to obtain legal advice because they think it will cost too much. Law firms have high hourly rates which also can lead to uncertain legal costs. The solution is part time corporate counsel services. Businesses can pay a monthly fee for which I provide you a guaranteed number of hours per month. I handle any corporate issue you need assistance with much like full time corporate counsel would. You know what your legal fees are monthly and know you have someone you can trust advising you on legal matters that could make or break your business.. I also provide services on an hourly basis.. You may be thinking why should I choose the Law Office of Allison L. Harvey? Simply put, I know how to work with a small or midsized business. I understand how small businesses are different and understand the dynamics that go into making decisions in family run businesses. I care about the end result and I work hard to get you want you want. I have been corporate counsel for a small business. I have handled their everyday business matters including employee decisions (hiring/firing/suspensions/discipline), employee handbooks, contracts and independent contractor relationships. I have assisted with wage and hour disputes and successfully negotiated winning resolutions that avoided litigation. I have created, negotiated and administered large and small business contracts. I can and will get the job done efficiently and correctly.
