In 2013 my real estate attorney referred me to Mr. DuBoff to represent me in a potential civil case involving personal injury and invasion of privacy. My real estate attorney did not know DuBoff personally but only second-hand. DuBoff wrote a demand letter on my behalf and reviewed the response lette...r. This was the specific legal work he did for me. His final billing well exceeded the projected amount we discussed and the retainer I paid. I reviewed this with my real estate attorney who urged fee arbitration with the Oregon Bar. When I requested DuBoff via email to negotiate on his billing and mentioned my real estate attorney's advice, he informed me that he welcomed fee arbitration because he is on the arbitration panel and mentioned the names of his colleagues on the panel. On Avvo.com, I give DuBoff an Excellent rating on Responsiveness, because he and his staff were very available to engage my business and support back-and-forth discussions. I give him Poor ratings on Trustworthy and Kept Me Informed because he blatantly ran up my bill by encouraging trivial dialog and poorly managing the operational details of items such as process serving, all the while charging me his full rate for all activities and never giving any guidance on effective client-attorney communications nor more importantly on the best strategy for resolving my case efficiently. DuBoff in effect let me do my bidding in an emotionally charged and confusing legal situation while giving me no real guidance on the probable outcomes of the legal action. While I acknowledge that the billing accurately captures the interactions I had with DuBoff and staff, I feel that a client engaging DuBoff will incur the risk of being milked financially. The overall engagement felt like I was played as a mark. DuBoff frequently referred to other unnamed settlements he had recently won, and claimed personal sympathy for my injury, but I believe these and other behaviors are the techniques of a salesman rather than an attorney. DuBoff appears to have a significant prior history of credentials and publications, but I question the financial and practical wisdom of becoming his client at this late stage of his legal career. A potential client should be very sure DuBoff is a good fit for their case and be constantly vigilant that time spent dealing with DuBoff is effective. Caveat emptor.

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.

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.

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.
