Knowledgable, determined, and dedicated

I contracted with Leonard Duboff over a complex intellectual property dispute that had a lot of moving parts, and without his help I don't think I would have been able to negotiate a positive settlement. He really came through for me, going above and beyond to make sure that my interests were represe...nted. He proved willing to work with me on cost, he demonstrated time and time again he knows contract and IP law, and I recommend him without hesitation.

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.

CEO

I have been using DuBoff Law group for over 15 years in many capacities and I could not be happier! Specifically, the work I had done was on trademarks, patents, keeping my corporation on track. Other advice too numerous to mention. With that being said, their work has been consistently superlative, ...flawless and professional. Interestingly, I am in Seattle and they are in the Portland Oregon. working remotely has been excellent.

Very helpful legal advice

Leonard has been my attorney for many years providing legal advice for trademarks, business contracts and litigation. He has always been very attentive and thorough in his legal advise. He also has quite the team.

Confidence to move forward

As an author, my recent project was indefinitely on hold due to some legal questions I had and didn't know where to turn for help. Now, because I attended Leonard's outstanding lectures at a recent writers conference where I first met him, I am confidently moving forward with publishing my memoir. A...fter his lectures I immediately reached out to him via phone and email, to which he promptly replied. I set up a consultation over the phone, and before I knew it, all my questions and concerns were addressed "in plain English." His rates are very reasonable, and I intend to buy his "In Plain English" series of books and use his services in the future. I recommend anyone reading this to do the same.

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."
