Very honest and to the point

I spoke with Terry by phone regarding an issue i am having with my HOA. Terry was honest and gave me an advice rarely given by any other lawyer.

Extremely Helpful!

I called expecting I would need to hire Mr. Scanell but after a quick consultation over the phone he helped me determine that the issue wasn't worth pursuing. If I ever need help again I will definitely reach out to him. Very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with.

Real estate attorney query

I’m a first timer home buyer and followed some advice that I might need a real estate attorney. I called around and Terry was the only person to say that I might not need a lawyer to close a residential home sale in oregon. There are risks and Terry explained those but for the vast majority of transa...ctions where each party had a real estate agent and it is a conventional loan in general lawyers are not needed. Terry took half an hour putting me at ease about my situation. At least 3 other firms quoted me 1500 or more without hesitation. Will 100% utilize Terry’s services if and when I actually need a lawyer and would 100% recommend him to anyone in need as well.

Honest, pragmatic and very helpful

I find myself in a pickle with my HOA. They disapproved a planter that I would like to have in my front yard. I was hoping to find an easy, inexpensive way to counter the rejection of my plan. Terry was very direct in telling me that this matter could get very expensive very quickly. He explain...ed everything clearly, and shared his experience regarding litigation with HOAs. I will take his advice as I proceed with my plans, and should I find myself in need of further counsel I will not hesitate to contact Mr. Scannell.

Rare Package

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
