Long-time Duboff client (20 years)

Leonard is extremely knowledgeable, particularly in inteleectual property law and general business law, though his firm has represented me skillfully in four different lawsuits over by business career. There are several things about Leonard that have set his apart from other attorneys I've dealt with.... First of all, when I first retained him to incorporate my business, I had little money and the business did not have particularly great prospects. Still, he gave me the same attention he now gives me when I am running a multi-million dollar international business. I also find that, when preparing a contract, he understands the give and take between the law and the fact that I have to get the other party to agree to the terms of the agreement. This allows Leonard and I to have a strategic conversation about the pros and cons of structuring the agreement in different ways, rather than having him insist on an approach where the other party feels he's being accused of potential wrong-doing before we've even started to do business together. This is a fine line, and Leonard's understanding of the realities of these situations in addition to the law makes working with him much easier, and much more productive. Finally, in twenty years I have never had the sense that he is padding the bill, or that he was clocking time where we weren't actually just chatting about this and that--something I've never been sure of with other attorneys. Leonard is a class act, very knowledgable, very honest, and very easy to work with.

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."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Leonard is a passionate advocate for his clients and goes the distance when providing litigation, intellectual property and business support to his clients. His wealth of knowledge and years of experience make him a valuable asset to his clients and other attorneys. On the matters that I have worked with Leonard to resolve we have always come up with a plan and resolution that our clients were happy with."
