Terry Scannell

When I was hit with a nuisance lawsuit (for the 1st time in my life) over the sale of a business gone bad, it was Terry to the rescue. I was very stressed and he spent a generous amount of time - both with me and my SO - in unpaid consultations so I felt comfortable trusting him with the case. I am ...thankful for the work he and his staff did on my behalf. He was effective in getting the other party [top] to end a harassment suit by drawing up a counter-suit, then standing his ground. This caused [top] to accept a much smaller settlement to go away. Also, I was delighted that Terry was able to get [top] to sign an agreement disallowing [top] to attack me in the same legal manner ever again, while leaving the door open for me to initiate a suit against this odious individual, should I ever wish to do so in the future. Well done!

We've 5 acres in rural Clackamas County & became embroiled in a complicated property dispute. We were fortunate to be referred to Terry Scannell whom we then retained. Terry possesses a strategic legal intellect, is candid when giving assessments (no "breadcrumbing"), is tenaciously adept on his... feet & has a professional reputation as a fierce no-nonsense advocate for his clients. Our outcome? Terry negotiated an almost unbelievable result for us and then in turn, he continued to work with us. To this day, he's remained our legal confidante & is a stellar human being.

Our family have been heavily involved in Portland real estate for the past century. Over the years, some family members have become shared owners of various properties. A few of the family have gradually become impossible to work with unless everyone is willing to totally accept their leadership in m...aking decisions. The other owners are unwilling to comply for various valid reasons. Struggles for control appear with attorneys on several sides. The legal bills become huge as people fight fiercely. Early last year, another battle was brewing over another Portland property. Luckily, we discovered Terry Scannell. He quickly assessed our situation, our co-owners and their counsel, and proposed a viable path to resolution. As anticipated, the other side proved to be difficult. As usual, their solutions were lop sided. Their attorneys were next to impossible. Through all of this, Terry persevered and enabled us to reach an outstanding solution without our usual amount of large aggravation. He is easily one of the most creative attorneys that we have ever worked with. His skills at working efficiently with opposing counsel are amazing. Terry is bright, creative, articulate, practical and honest. Invariably, he has several possible solutions to every problem. Also, he is tenacious but flexible. He deserves great credit for creating a smooth, profitable exit from our owning a minority interest in a property where the other owners were truly impossible to live with. Our situation was far more complicated than we can easily express. However, he did a fantastic job for us. We can strongly recommend him as an efficient and economical problem solver.

I called Mr. Scannell to discuss a possible lawsuit against Century Link. Most attorney's I have dealt with in the past have not been as upfront as Terry was with me. At the end of the day he told me about the likely hood of winning against these cockroaches. I was able to understand what he was ...saying as he was able to break it down realistically for me. If you are in need of an honest attorney I would 100% recommend this guy. He will shoot you straight. Thanks Terry! Shane

We hired Terry and his team for a property problem , they did a LOT of digging into a paper work trail and said we had cases to sue a couple different entities , in the end we could not afford to go that route but the work Terry and team did was great and the letter his team wrote up for us got us wh...at we wanted …. the piece of land we thought we already owned. thank you Terry I consider it money well spent .
