Superb and Ethical Attorney Who Cares
I hired Scott Blankenship to represent me with an employment issue at a company where I had worked for over twelve years. During our initial phone discussion it was obvious to me that he was clearly listening and was definitely asking all the right questions. Once we met at his office to review more details of my situation, I knew that he was the person that I wanted to represent me. Scott showed that he genuinely cared about what I was going through and that he wanted to help. His actions gave me confidence and hope. Over the ensuing months my admiration for Scott evolved because I saw that he was a person who kept his word and that we were clearly working as a team towards a common goal. Something that I appreciated most about Scott is his high ethical standards and integrity. I could not have asked for a better person to work with who happended to be an outstanding attorney.

What legal representation was meant to be
I feel very fortunate to have been represented by Scott Blankenship and the Blankenship Law Firm. Scott is a seasoned veteran when it comes to the legal in's and outs of a particular case. My case...as with many cases start with great client expectations of a large payout jury trial that nets tons of $'s for the client. The Blankenship firm taught me there are economic practicalities & cost realities that can give a client what they want....and significantly shorten the process, cost and direction to a successful outcome. For me success came with the experience of nScott being applied to the opportunity to mediate. Scott showed patience and diligence in leading me to a logical outcome that made me whole without all of the trial expenses and costs and time and risk. I strongly recommend the Blankenship Law firm to anyone who is ready for a fresh approach to an outcome that is in a clients best interest. Our case mediated successfully, I got what I wanted and all others really got what they wanted. Scott effectively mediated my case so that it was a win-win-win outcome. I am positive that even my advesary is thankful to the Blankenship Law Firm...in particular Mr. Scott Blankenship. Additionally, I feel that I can trust Scott with matters and today I call myself a Friend....not a client! Thank you Mr. Blankenship for helping guide me to a positive outcome.

A true champion for your case
I cannot say enough good things about Scott and his entire team at the Blankenship Law Firm. I reached out to Scott for legal counsel for a gender and race discrimination claim against my former employer. I've worked in biotech for over a decade, and the attitude towards women in science has never been fully supportive, but it bordered on abusive at my previous place of employment. I came to Scott at an absolute low point; in the full swings of postpartum depression, amid the chaos of a constructive discharge, and his entire team treated me with kindness, and empathy. Scott and his team never once doubted my claim, and fought fiercely for my case. There are many lawyers you can choose who are proficient in the law, but what you get at the Blankenship Law Firm are more than lawyers, you get champions for your claim. They understand the difference between vengeance and justice, and help you make informed decisions. It is not easy to fight for your legal rights, conflict is not easy. However, when you decide to take up the mantel to fight for your legal rights, there is no better law firm to fight at the front lines. Scott, Tobin, and Matt became my professional worriers, and served as my human shields. I truly believe they helped me get a very good settlement. I believe they helped me get justice for what was done to me. The settlement amount itself was substantial, but more than that ,what Scott and his team brought me was closure. The literal nightmares that I once had are now less frequent , and I now have the confidence to know I can do hard things with the right support. The Blankenship Law Firm has my highest recommendation. If you are uncertain about your claim or which lawyer to choose, at least reach out to the Blankenship Law Firm, after that first meeting, you will realize they are the best in the business.

The team you want in your corner.
Scott and everyone at the Blankenship Law Firm, were my sword and shield. I hope they can be yours. I couldn’t have asked for a more qualified or caring team. We prevailed. I got justice and am healing. They have empowered me and let me know that it’s ok to use my voice and be heard. We started as a team and ended up as a family. I cannot express enough how everyone at the Blankenship Law Firm has helped me. Truly, I appreciate all they have done and gone through for me. Scott and his team got justice for me. The team, as a whole, was very empathetic and concerned about how I was treated at my previous place of employment. I should tell you that it was a large global company. They not only stood for me but helped me stand up to them. I was at a very low point in my life, I wasn’t sure what I needed in an attorney or what would happen. All I did know was that I had been grossly mistreated by this employer and that it should not have happened to me or anyone. I needed help. Scott and the team did help me. We had many long hard conversations, revisited many bad situations and worked together through the whole process. While hard, this inclusion was probably the biggest thing in helping me heal and find peace. We literally went through the entire process together. Communication was always straightforward and honest on both ends. This is what is needed so that they can make the best case possible. Each step of the way was explained to me. The process and possibility of how things could go, were given to me. From there we made the informed decision about the next move. I was never forced to do anything or asked to compromise. We worked together. I put my faith in Scott and the entire team. We were the team. They know why they are there. They know that they will have to take on some very big opponents. They have integrity. They have a strong work ethic. They are experienced and confident. They believe in what they do. Most of all, they believe in justice. It is for these reasons that I am happy to have met them all, and that I recommend them to you. Scott and his team exceeded any and every expectation I could have had. While this is not by any means an enjoyable process, it was a satisfying experience. I am truly grateful for the knowledge and expertise they spent on my behalf. *My experience with Scott and the team started during the COVID lockdown and continued after. We were all in uncharted waters as far as how to conduct business. Scott made it work seamlessly and it did work. Thank you.

A Genius Lawfirm that I am forever Grateful to!
I remember years ago feeling lost and confused, knowing inside something wrongful was done to me at my employment when I was termination from my job after coming back from maternity leave. I was lucky enough to find the Blankenship Lawfirm who listened to what had happen and helped me put all the pieces together. Every step of this process on their end has been thorough and professional. They guided me through this process and never gave up on our case. It was unbelievable what was relieved and the discrimination that had took place on me as a woman and new mother in the workplace. Scott is a genius man and I am forever grateful for what him and his lawfirm has done for me . The finale results were more than I could have ever imagined when we started this process . But the most important thing they helped me do, is stand up for myself. I feel proud of what we accomplished. Thank you Scott and your whole team. You guys are family to me now . I highly recommend this lawfirm.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Effective
Scott and his team took on my case and worked closely with me to win a settlement. He took time to get to know me and the facts of my case, then fight for the ideal outcome. Scott was on the spot for my deposition, taking extra care to make sure I was comfortable and able to do my best. He ran the depositions like a pro, showing his stellar questioning skills and making me feel vindicated. His team was responsive to every email and phone call from me. They always helped me understand what was happening and why. Scott and his team achieved the ideal resolution for my case. I highly recommend Scott Blankenship as an attorney. He helped me gain closure and move forward successfully from a very painful episode of my life.

What a journey to the truth and success
Scott and his firm were terrific in a lawsuit for wrongful termination representing me and several others against a large corporation. The law suit started with just myself, but after weeks, it began to include others. After several months there were five of us that were part of this law suit, that not only included wrongful termination for me,, but now it was clear all 5 were a part of a very hostile work environment. 3 of the team were women and again Scott was able to determine that each were sexually harassed. This was a very important part of representing me against a large corporation due to adding to the case. We faced a very large law firm that had unlimited resources, and has offices throughout the USA and Europe. They were never intimidated, or discouraged, and gave us great support throughout a 2 year process to get us a proper settlement. We were 100% prepared for our depositions, etc. And their depositions against our former employer were amazing, as key people admitted bad behavior which is not easy to do. Bottom line, a tough case is an amazing journey. Us 5 couldn't have done it without Scott's and his team 110% commitment to getting the truth to come out.

A skilled and determined advocate
Scott and his team are skilled, thorough and genuinely motivated by their client's stories to work for a just resolution. My employer, a large Catholic healthcare system, had insisted on radical changes in their critical care units that I predicted would result in predictably dangerous consequences for patients and those taking care of them. I tendered my resignation in protest however the employer then attempted me to force me to remain in my job for 120 days which would have resulted in my participation in plans which would violate my professional judgement and oath. Scott listened carefully until he understood my complex issues and the outcome I hoped to achieve. With his experienced help I was able to leave my employer on my own terms and not participate in what I felt to be a dangerous and unethical plan. If you have been wronged and seek an exceptional and genuinely passionate advocate, you should meet with Scott Blankenship.

In A Sea of Lawyers, The Blankenship Law Firm is An Island of Excellence
As an executive who has substantial experience working with lawyers, it is clear that the Blankenship Law firm is the best I have worked with. Scott Blankenship’s reputation, attention to detail, case preparation, and tenaciousness, as well as his gifted team of attorneys and staff, sets him apart.

These 3 C’s are sustained by high ethical standards that ensure clients are treated with respect, and that they remain active in the process. This firm also stands out for its rigorous case selection process. Because they are highly selective, Mr. Blankenship and his team are truly able to devote the time necessary to winning each case they take on. He has earned the respect of his colleagues and competitors in the legal community, and clients benefit from his counsel when he represents them.

Excellent Law Firm, a solid choice.
I could not have asked for better legal representation when I needed help. I recently had an employment incident that required immediate, and top tier legal representation. While this whole process was very new to me, The Blankenship Law Firm was there every step of the way to assist me through the process. When I had questions I always received professional and proper responses, whether by phone or email. The Blankenship Law Firm took something that could have been an overwhelming ordeal and turned it into a stress free process, while also delivering an excellent result. Scott and his team are knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend them in the event you need legal representation.

Outstanding service and support
Scott Blankenship and the team at The Blankenship Law Firm provided me with excellent service and support in quickly and favorably resolving an employment dispute. I am very grateful that I had Scott fighting by my side. Scott was there to answer any questions along the way. He was very sympathetic and empathetic, and was a bright light throughout the entire process. From start to finish, he was approachable, and made me feel comfortable and well-informed about all of the important decisions that came up along the way. Scott invested the time to understand what goals could be attained, and worked with me like a partner to make sure that we reached them. I felt like he was personally invested in making sure that I got the best result, which took an enormous amount stress off of my shoulders knowing that I had a trusted advisor like him as my lawyer. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott Blankenship and his team to my friends and family.

Here I have found the difference between good lawyers and GREAT lawyers.
I was extremely selective in choosing representation because of the considerably large size and scope of my case and the numerous individuals who it benefits. A lot of good firms expressed a high degree of interest in my case, but I wanted the best. I sought out The Blankenship Law Firm and when I first met Scott and his dedicated team I was immediately impressed by how they took ownership of my problem and gave me confidence by laying out how they will do everything possible to help my case succeed. Scott and his team are highly motivated, often working into the night on my case and taking extreme ownership of it. Additionally on motivation, the firm doesn’t just respond when I call them; they make my phone ring. Good lawyers try to deliver, but great lawyers DELIVER: Scott and his team consistently do what they say they will and get it executed by when they tell me they will. I have found the team devotion to excellence, brilliant knowledge of the law and providing access to justice to be First Class every step of the way. I cannot give a strong enough recommendation here. They have definitely earned every one of the 5 Stars I am giving.

The Blankenship Law Firm changed my life and restored my reputation
The Blankenship Law Firm changed my life and restored my reputation. I found The Blankenship Law Firm after hiring a different law firm that did not see the case as I saw it, and actually tried to pressure me to settle my case early before it was filed. Although it took a lot of collaboration and hard work on my part and my attorneys Scott Blankenship and Robin Shishido from The Blankenship Law Firm worked tirelessly to get me justice, it was well worth the investment of time. The ultimate result was many times greater than what the other law firm recommended I take. The Blankenship Law Firm went above and beyond my expectations, and not only got me a great result financially but help restore my reputation within the community. I will be forever grateful, and recommend them to anyone.

Outstanding attorney
I am writing this review of attorney Scott Blankenship to share the details of my experience with him to help others who are seeking legal representation. I recently needed his assistance again and the experience caused me to reflect on the quality of service that he provides and the quality person that he is. Previously, I hired Scott as my attorney to represent me with an employment matter. This was the first time that I ever needed to hire an attorney. The process that I went through to find the right representation was not easy. When in distress, many of us are emotional and we want help immediately. When finding help is a challenge it only exasperates how one feels. I contacted four different legal firms, one of which was The Blankenship Law Firm. Two firms did not return my call after I provided their assistants with the details of my dispute; this was very discouraging. I met with another attorney at their office who showed little interest or empathy for my situation, but they gladly had me pay their fee at the end of our one hour meeting. My experience with the fourth firm that I contacted, The Blankenship Law Firm, was different. I left the same message with Scott Blankenship's assistant that I had left at the other three firms. I was told that Scott wasn't available but a time was scheduled when we could talk. After Scott and I talked by phone we scheduled a time to meet at his office. We discussed my situation in detail. I was impressed with how well he listened, how he engaged me and the questions that he asked. He felt strongly that I had a case that we could go forward with. We discussed his fee structure which I thought was fair and in-line with industry practices. I now had my attorney. Even though there was considerable time and work ahead of us to reach the finish line, knowing that I had someone of Scott's caliber assisting me and handling the strategy was a tremendous relief. Throughout my case I saw several things in Scott that reminded me that I had made the right decision. He showed that he cared for me and my situation. He was always a straight communicator. He was ethical. He was consistent. He had integrity. He coached me and helped me clearly understand what mattered and what did not, in order for us to possibly prevail. He never made any guarantees on what the outcome would be but he felt strongly that we had a good chance to succeed. There were times when the process was not moving along as fast as I would have liked but that was not because of Scott. He reminded me to remain patient because sometimes our expectations of time, as well as the final results, are not always realistic. Fortunately, we prevailed. I would recommend Scott and his team to anyone who is in need of an employment attorney who is formidable and does the very best he can to get the best possible result for his clients. The traits that I used to describe Scott in the preceding paragraph were always present from the beginning to the end. As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, I recently contacted Scott on another matter because I have total confidence in his abilities. I look forward to working with him again and do so with no hesitation.

"With Scott’s Integrity, Work-ethic, and Razor-sharp Advocacy in Court, I Got a Great Result And Helped Me Clear my Name"
When I was abruptly terminated without cause, I knew it was grossly unfair and I had to fight it. But I didn’t know where to begin—my reputation was ruined and most people I approached, both professionally and socially, looked at me with suspicion and disdain. Since I was fired from a large, powerful, popular Catholic healthcare system, colleagues and friends thought that I must have done something terrible to deserve termination. It was an extremely stressful time for my family and me. Thankfully, we eventually met Scott and his team as a referral from a physician colleague. Scott listened to me thoroughly and believed in me. While everyone—family, friends, and enemies alike—wanted me to just let it go and leave town, Scott understood my need to clear my name. This was all I needed. It was a great comfort to be heard, but also very empowering to know that a lawyer of his caliber and experience was willing to stand by a ruined individual like me to fight a big institution. Catholic Health Initiatives/CHI Franciscan Health was brutal and brazen with its retaliation and harassment, but Scott did not back down. He thoughtfully advised me about big and small decisions. He was always available to talk or meet. He was sincerely concerned about the lawsuit’s impact on my family. His staff was immensely supportive, thorough and efficient. I truly felt that I had a team before me and behind me at all times. They sought out my input constantly. It was a solid collaboration. I no longer felt alone. I saw Scott in action in many settings—in legal communications, in depositions, in court, in mediation — and he is razor-sharp and relentless. I was at awe at Scott’s attention to every legal detail. With his staff, we poured over more than 10,000 pages of documents and more than 40 hours of videos. Scott and I worked through several lunch hours and even met with witnesses on several Sundays. His work ethic is exemplary, his devotion to a just cause nothing short of admirable, and his integrity beyond reproach. Much to everyone’s surprise, just over a week before trial was to begin, we won a $2.5 million settlement from Catholic Health Initiatives/CHI Franciscan Health. It was only then that many people looked at me without suspicion and disdain. They began to listen and ask for details. Only then did they believe that a physician could be wrongfully terminated and maliciously framed by a big beloved Catholic institution. This made me appreciate Scott even more, that he trusted me and was willing to defend me when it was too inconvenient and complicated for most. I have no doubt that the successful resolution of my lawsuit was directly due to the great skill and expertise of Scott and his team at The Blankenship Law Firm.

Civil rights Attorney | Jun 07
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I had the pleasure to work with Scott as co-counsel in the race discrimination trial of Zhang v. American Gem Seafoods. The jury returned a verdict of $3,100,000.00, which is one of the highest awards ever returned for this type of case. Scott fought for this client serving as appellate and lead counsel all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. He ultimately obtained a final recovery of close to $4,000,000.00. This exceptional outcome is a testament to Scott’s high standards of trial preparation, tenaciousness in court, and skill as an appellate lawyer. I have no hesitation in recommending Scott to any potential client. Peter M. Brown, Dawson-Brown ps"
