Outstanding advice on patents, trademarks, IP issues

Our manufacturing company has used Leonard and his team for over a decade to assist us with a variety of issues related to patents and trademarks. I have found Leonard to be clear, concise, and knowledgeable.

More than our attorney, he is a business coach

Leonard DuBoff has been our corporate attorney for 6 years and has gone beyond the scope of legal advice. He shares ideas, asks questions and listens well. Most recently, we spoke with Leonard about closing our business. He didn't talk us out of it, he gave us the legal options we had to chose from a...nd let us take it home to decide. After answering questions about the options he gave, he then offered various opportunities to GROW our clientele (even making introductions for us), if we chose to stay open. Leonard and his staff respond quickly to our calls and emails, with a positive demeanor. Leonard truly cares about his clients and has surrounded himself with staff that feel the same. We have recommended him by mouth and social media to anyone who has needed the best in their corner.

Leonard Duboff Superior Legal Representation over 25 years!!

I was fortunate enough to have Leonard as my mentor and most knowledgable law professor at Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark Portland, Or. Upon graduation in 1974 I went on to a career of entrepreneurial endeavors maintaining my active status in The Oregon State Bar Assoc. Throughout the ...1980's until to date Leonard has not only guided my career but since the 1990's he has MOST successfully represented my Corporation co owned by my World Renowned Artist wife Sharie, Leonard quite simply is an "Attorneys Attorney" with incredible recall and attention to minute detail. He has very successfully litigated all copyright &/or trademark infringement matters concerning our company for those foolish enough to attempt to copy Sharies works and to have to deal with Leonards keen focus to win ! We have proudly referred Leonard to every associate of ours requiring legal assistance and he has always exceeded their expectations with superior results. In summary, if you have been legally harmed, Leonard DuBoff is the first person I would turn to and if he does not feel comfortable handling the matter for what ever reason he will certainly refer you to the appropriate person to solve your problem. His character, scholarly insight, attention to detail keeping you informed of all matters timely and understandably is far beyond reproach. Anyone not firmly scoring Leonard a solid Ten simply must misunderstand their case or the issues at bar.

Great Attorney!

Mr. DuBoff has been my attorney for over 25 years. He has handled a variety of cases for me, mostly in the field of art copyright and business law. He has given me excellent advice, and gotten me out of some tight situations. A business associate of my husband put $40,000+ on my credit card and t...hen skipped town. The credit card company came after me for payment. Mr. DuBoff negotiated an excellent settlement for me, no interest, repaying only 25% of the original amount. On another occasion, he negotiated a lucrative licensing deal for me with a well-known manufacturer of collectible plates and porcelains. These are just two examples of what he has done for me in the past. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sharp, but honest, attorney. His fees are reasonable in comparison to other attorneys of his caliber. And he is a good listener, with a sense of compassion.

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."
