Strong confidence

I would like to provide feedback and some insight as to the support Leonard Duboff and his legal team have provided us with this past year as we required legal consultation. Without going into specific details, they have provided us in an exceptional manner in the following areas: * Our past exp...erience with seeking and obtaining legal advice and support has been minimal, thus leaving us to trusting Leonard Deboff and his legal team. He made us feel comfortable by sharing his vast legal background and experience, he demonstrated the ability to understand our situation, explain outcomes and processes we needed to understand, clarified actions that would take place, as well as provide options which we would need to consider. * Our situation required legal representation on a subject we were not necessarily familiar with. Following our explanation to Mr. Deboff of our situation, he and his team were able to proceed and conduct further in-depth research which allowed them to understand and handle our case with significant knowledge. * We truly admire the responsiveness they have demonstrated with all our calls and questions. In this type of business responsiveness is critical when seeking a legal resolution. * We have yet to have a final outcome, however since inception, we have felt well understood, very satisfied with the support and guidance they have provided, as well as how the case has been handled to date. We want to bring special attention to what we appreciate most about Leonard and his staff. They understand handling conflict between parties is by focusing on fact based actions and communications avoiding the dramatics that can happen in a legal disagreement put. Specifically, he handles an intimidating character with clam strength and high confidence. It is about the facts and focusing on them, nothing more. And frankly, in a legal battle, the facts are the truth. And, the truth always prevails.

The Law in Plain English

I first met Leonard Duboff when I published a magazine in Portland. He is a wealth of information relating to potential legal issues facing my industry. He referred me to a couple of reference guides which he authored that I could keep on hand in my office to answer the most relevant questions withou...t needing to hire him. I could have hired him to consult in the proper set up of my publishing business or invest a small amount in these guides. I know who I will call on when I'm called into court - the attorney who wrote the book on the topic!

DuBoff Law Group

Leonard was easy to work with, he was very responsive and professional. I worked with him to resolve some legal matters with a bank, this was a prolonged process. When Leonard and group stepped in my case started moving in the direction I preferred. I would recommend this group for all those in need ...of legal assistance.

Exceptional Service

I had an emotional and complex case for which I thought there could be no equitable solution. I contacted Mr. DuBoff based on a recommendation from the Oregon Bar. I was at first hesitant to follow through as my previous contact with attorneys had been fairly abysmal. I am exceedingly glad that I ...followed up with the contact, as Mr. DuBoff turned out to be a truly exceptional attorney. He was able to clearly interpret the complexities of the case I had, and provide sound and equitable legal advise. What impressed me most was that he made it clear that he would provide as thorough as possible legal advise, but I would be the one making the decision. To paraphrase, he said "I will do whatever you decide needs to be done, I just want you to understand the law as it applies to your case." In the end, I followed his advise and am delighted with having found the best and most equitable outcome I think the case could have had. I would NEVER hesitate to most strongly recommend Mr. DuBoff as I feel most assured that he would never provide anything but the best possible information and recommendations, no matter the case.

Superior Legal representation

After receiving extremely poor prior representation from inexperienced councilors in the past, I had the VERY positive benefit to hire Leonard DuBoff about 25 years ago to represent me with a troubled business partner/relationship. Solely due to Mr DuBoffs intense understanding of the law and total... commitment to doing the "right thing", I prevailed and my business was saved and I went on to enjoy a very successful career over the years which has fortunately been guided by the expertise and commitment of The DuBoff Law Group to always provide superior legal advise and protection.

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."

"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."
