Client Since 1998

I have been a client of Leonard DuBoff since 1998. I can always rely on his counsel to be an accurate assessment of a situation allowing me to make informed decisions. I do and you can trust in his legal expertise and guidance.

He wrote the book

If you are looking for someone who understands ALL the ins and outs of Trademark and Copyright law and can lay it out for you in common sense layman terms, Leonard is the guy. He literally wrote the book on "Art Law". He understands the best way to approach people and I think he shares my feeling tha...t that people are mostly good and deserve to be treated that way util they prove themselves otherwise. I came to Leonard specifically because of his knowledge of trademark law, knowing full well his abilities in many creative areas. I have a very good "mark" and ran into a situation where someone wanted to challenge my registration after being turned down for use in a similar space. They approached this using what I now know is an old trick, threatening to file a petition for cancellation of my trademark. They did this in what I found to be accusatory and insultingly wrong approach. Leonard absorbed the petition along with my comments and immediately saw why I found their approach offensive. Obviously they were looking to come up with an agreement to co-exist. Not out of the question, but Leonard knew that I would have a hard time rewarding the kind of conduct I found so offensive. Their accusations of "abandonment" and "fraud" were both laughable and easily defendable. Taking that well into consideration he is working it out in a logical and protective way. I have huge respect for Mr DuBoff and the rest of his firm. I am happy to have him on my little team. We are a small company and he has been helpful in other areas as well. I feel in good hands and know he will protect our integrity at every turn.

Excellent attorney. Would highly recommend him.

Mr. DuBoff is a exceptional attorney who is committed to legally protecting , and enthusiastically representing his clients. We hired Mr. DuBoff for a corporate acquisition. He was thorough, responsive, worked with complete integrity in our best interests, and kept us informed of the issues and his r...ecommendations. He and his superb office staff treat everyone like family, and it was a pleasure working with such responsible and brilliant professionals. We will definitely engage Mr. DuBoff in the future when we have the need for legal services!

Outstanding Service and Knowledge

Mr DuBoff has represented me and my various business ventures for nearly 30 years. He has always performed beyond my expectations in all matters, whether they be business related or my own personal issues. Over the years I have continually recommended Mr DuBoff to my friends and associates and expe...ct to continue doing so in the future. I am happy to have someone of Mr DuBoff's caliber to reach out to when needed.

Mr. Leonard D. DuBoff ( unbelievable )

My name is David and I believe that you have to stand up and be counted. I am not a person easily upset and I would rather do anything than to go to court; however, when it is time, it is all in. I run a Limited Liability Company, which I started in 2000. I am not an attorney; however, I have... represented my self in State and Federal court rooms on Civil matters for over ten years, an have not been overly impressed with Lawyers and there limited understanding of the law. Having said that I interview and hired an attorney practicing corporate law in Portland , Oregon to review the LLC. and see if I was on the right track. Some time latter I had a problem that involved another companies use of my Intellectual Property and was referred to Mr. Leonard D. DuBoff. I have to tell you I am not much into change, but when someone says I can't or don't want to...well its time. I called Mr. DuBoff not really knowing what to expect. Much to my surprise, he spoke English, not legalize, ( something even a simple boy like me can understand ). I had not yet taken the time to research Mr. DuBoff; however, after we talked a while I had confidence in him to ask him to send letter outlining my complaint. The response was impressive. I thought it over and made the decision to meet him face to face as I had some questions about restructuring my company and wanted to test his knowledge. As we entered our meeting, I could not help but notice the professional appearance of the office and staff ; clean ,well appointed and yet there was a welcoming feeling. In the room I noticed a book shelf filled with books he had pinned. As he entered the room, I could not help but notice his confidence and calm and I new I had met some one special. As we talked I was unbelievably impressed with his knowledge an understanding of not only the law, but of people. Every question I had , he answered in detail and in language I could understand. Mr. Leonard D. DuBoff has been in my corner ever since, I know there is nothing he is unable to handle........By the way, in this review I use " Mr." out of my great respect for the man, and the Attorney. Leonard as I have come to know him is a shining example to me in my life, and his wisdom is a blessing, I know without a doubt he has my back. Please read his profile and call his office if you have any needs. Thank you Mr. DuBoff, Leonard, for all you have done for me.

Corporate and incorporation lawyer | Jun 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Leonard was one of my law professors in law school. I was also privileged to share space in his building and enjoyed having him as a resource in areas in which I do not practice. He is kind and enjoyable to work with and is a gifted communicator. Clients we served together often came away understanding complex issues because of how he presented them. He is a also a shrewd tactician who understands the dynamics of litigation and how best maximize a client's advantage. I recommend him for business formation and litigation, as well as Intellectual Property matters. I enjoy my continued good relationship with him and refer clients when the needs arise."
