Exceptional

We just think the world of Leonard Duboff! We contacted him to help us with a trademark of our new company after trying to process the work myself. His expertise was apparent right off the bat! He and his learned associates kept us informed throughout the lengthy process and completed the task in an ...excellent manner. A year later, we found we had a trademark infringement. Again, Mr. Duboff lost no time educating us, contacting the other party and supported our company name out of court. He is now ‘our lawyer’ and we are very thankful!

He wrote the book

If you are looking for someone who understands ALL the ins and outs of Trademark and Copyright law and can lay it out for you in common sense layman terms, Leonard is the guy. He literally wrote the book on "Art Law". He understands the best way to approach people and I think he shares my feeling tha...t that people are mostly good and deserve to be treated that way util they prove themselves otherwise. I came to Leonard specifically because of his knowledge of trademark law, knowing full well his abilities in many creative areas. I have a very good "mark" and ran into a situation where someone wanted to challenge my registration after being turned down for use in a similar space. They approached this using what I now know is an old trick, threatening to file a petition for cancellation of my trademark. They did this in what I found to be accusatory and insultingly wrong approach. Leonard absorbed the petition along with my comments and immediately saw why I found their approach offensive. Obviously they were looking to come up with an agreement to co-exist. Not out of the question, but Leonard knew that I would have a hard time rewarding the kind of conduct I found so offensive. Their accusations of "abandonment" and "fraud" were both laughable and easily defendable. Taking that well into consideration he is working it out in a logical and protective way. I have huge respect for Mr DuBoff and the rest of his firm. I am happy to have him on my little team. We are a small company and he has been helpful in other areas as well. I feel in good hands and know he will protect our integrity at every turn.

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.

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."
