Terry Scannell

After leaving a message for Terry, I received a call back within the hour (on a Sunday morning). My wife and I faced a potential lawsuit and were beginning the process of finding an attorney to represent us. I had a lot of fear and anxiety, much due to ignorance concerning the law, and the process we... were about to possibly face. Terry quickly assessed our situation, giving the exact information and guidance we needed to take the next step. His expert opinion alleviated much of the anxiety I was experiencing. I felt that his motivation was to help us, not retain us for services that we might or might not need. We ended up not needing an attorney, but if we had, Terry would have been the one we chose.

I am so thankful for Terry’s help with my family’s situation. We were loosing sleep with worry. I firmly believe this man followed his calling and really actually helps people. He is respectful, kind, extremely knowledgeable and thorough. If your legal matter is of extreme importance and you have to ...have an Attorney who is of the highest quality with integrity that you can trust, this man is the one.

I'm looking for a lawyer to help with a "business divorce" and after reading Mr. Scannell's reviews, I decided to take advantage of his free initial consult to see if he could help me. He called me right back and was extremely efficient with determining whether or not he could help me. He even threw ...in a great crumb of info to help me help myself. Seems like a good guy, and judging from his reviews, he can help with difficult situations and prevent them from "gong nuclear".

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.
