To all former clients:
Fundamental changes have
occurred in the workers’ compensation laws during 2004. The effect
of these changes, combined with an opportunity to apply my efforts
elsewhere, has brought me to the decision to close my private law
practice effective December 31, 2004.
It has been my uniform
pleasure to represent the interests of those individuals who have
retained me over the last 15 years. I wish all of you the very
best outcome in your legal matter, and thank you for the
opportunity to have worked with you.
Existing case files have been
transferred as follows:

Please contact Mr. Harvey's office for any
information you require.
A Special Note Regarding CompRate Software:
Having had an opportunity to review the draft of the
new PD rating manual, I have come to the difficult decision that
is it is not going to be worth the substantial commitment to re-do
CompRate to be compatible; there are just too many variables such that
it would take a monumental commitment of time to make it happen. The
first version CompRate was 4 months of night and day sweat to get going,
and has required many hours of work each year to keep current. There
will be no 2005 version of CompRate.
Effective immediately, CompRate 2004 will be
available as a free download for all members of the workers'
compensation community. It will still do PD ratings for cases
falling under the 1997-2004 Schedule, as well as my favorite
worksheets, which have always been the workers compensation math
functions. I will also post the Palm OS and Pocket PC versions of
the worksheets for all the techie geeks like me who wander around
the Board spouting out on the spot calculations of benefits on
their PDAs. As with all free software, there will be no
technical support available. Read the manual, all the answers are
there anyway.
My heartfelt thanks go to all
who have made CompRate a success.
