Outside the Office

After a day at the office, Harvey farms his land.

Harvey raises row crops, rotating corn and soybeans, and grows hay on his 276-acre farm in Jefferson City, Missouri. Since Harvey’s practice does not involve agricultural law, the two occupations never cross paths. But he enjoys both equally.

Community Leadership

Harvey believes everyone deserves legal representation and seeks funding for those who can’t afford it.

Since 2003, Harvey has worked with the Legal Aid of Missouri Statewide Program and the Missouri Bar, helping to enhance funding for the pro bono services organization. Because of his advantageous location in the Missouri state capital, Harvey is able to help influence decision-making by the state government to obtain funding for pro bono representation. He firmly believes in the cause. With proper funding, Legal Aid can provide free civil legal assistance to the people who need it most but can afford it least.
