Mr. Crispin assisted me out of a bad employment contract, but I had to repeat myself many times in our communications. The opposing counsel was told they were in a penalty period, reducing our payment. Items I requested to be negotiated were not, and I was not advised on the legality of an action I... took and the risk it may pose. The last communication I received was one to address something from the opposing counsel that had been sent two weeks prior to his email to me and allowed to go ignored. For all I paid I do not feel it was worth paying for legal services given the lack of action.

Craig is the the first person I’d recommend in employment-related matters. I hired Craig and his firm to represent me to deal with negotiations involving a former employer. I was impressed not only by the depth of his knowledge, but also his willingness to educate and inform so I understood the proce...ss and how the case would unfold. Craig and his team represented my interests with tenacity and zeal. He was judicious in terms of how he spent time on my case and set an example for professionalism in dealing with the other side. I’m very thankful he agreed to take my case. Highly recommended.

I found Craig Crispin at a time when I was greatly in need of an honest, courageous, and aggressive lawyer to represent me. Mr. Crispin turned out to be all that and more. I appreciated his professionalism, ethics, and aggressive approach to my case. He kept me in the loop about every step of the ...process and gave me a realistic idea of what to expect. He went head-to-head with my then employer, a formidable company, and delivered a result that surpassed all my expectations. Mr. Crispin's deep knowledge of the law, diligence, and passion were exactly what I needed! I highly recommend Mr. Crispin!

We hired Craig on the basis of ratings, recommendations and the strength of his representations during the first meeting. He seemed honest, well versed in the law, and tenacious and aggressive. Originally he was taking the case on a contingency basis but then suggested we pay hourly as it would likel...y be settled quickly and easily and this would be to our benefit. It was agreed that we would pay hourly during negotiations and then switch to contingency if we ended up filing in court. We trusted his expertise. When negotiations failed Craig first said that we would skip filing a Labor & industries (BOLI) claim, then changed his mind. He told us to expect to lose with BOLI but we might get good research from them, then we would file in court. We did lose at BOLI, then had trouble getting responses from Craig. During this entire time we were billed and paid his full rates. At the 11th hour he returned a call and informed us that he was not interested in going forward with the case. When asked what had changed since first taking our case, he couldn't provide a responsive answer. All the facts discovered were exactly as we told him at the outset. Our costs were significant and sadly our trust was misplaced.

Mr. Crispin and his firm are up-to-date with all of the Oregon State Statues which gave answers to my questions very promptly. His answers were clear, honest and to the point. His deposition techniques were very impressive. My case was everything but easy, and he was not afraid to accept my case wh...en all the odds were against me. I recommend Crispin Employment Law Firm to anyone who feels that they are at the end of the rope.
