Excellent service, reasonable fees!

I recently enlisted the services of DuBoff Law Group to represent me in a very challenging business partnership separation and mediation. Leonard and his team worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for me and my business. I have great confidence in DuBoff Law Group and am continuing ... to utilize their services for other business and personal legal needs. Leonard's knowledge of business law is astounding. He is a walking library of business codes, case law and countless other topics. His work ethic, attention to detail and commitment to his client's best interest put others in his field to shame. I say without hesitation that Leonard DuBoff is the best possible attorney for my business. He has also become an invaluable advisor, teacher and friend. If I could give him 6 stars, I would. ******

30+ years of professional satisfaction

Leonard has been my "go to" guy since the mid-1980s, for general advice and retaining him for specific matters. Having worked in the legal field myself for most of that time, I have had plenty of exposure to and experience with some of the city's most prominent attorneys and firms but have never fou...nd a compelling reason to change my choice of "personal" lawyer. Leonard, and the other attorneys and staff in his firm, are consistently forthright in their assessments of legal issues, from corporate/general business to intellectual property protection and litigation, making their expectations regarding the success or prospects of recovery in a matter very clear from the outset. They don't make guarantees about outcomes (no attorney should!); they are competent professionals who consistently do their best to serve their clients' interests, even when that means making recommendations or giving advice that their clients may not want to hear or heed. I have recommended Leonard and his firm to many people over the years, and they have all been very pleased with the service they received.

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!

Exceeded expectations

Leonard and his staff are a delight to work with. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable in their field, but they communicate quickly and clearly. I have worked with Leonard on many levels and feel he is an asset to my company. We look forward to many more years with his firm.

Outstanding consultation

I needed a legal consultation on legal issues related to some unconscionable business practices by an on line "education" company based in Oregon. Mr. DuBoff was able to identify the relevant legal issues very quickly and efficiently. Mr. DuBoff and all of his staff that I had the pleasure of intera...cting with were all very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Mr. DuBoff and his firm to anyone needing legal advice in the area of business law.

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."
