Scott Crispin Greco Blankenship

Having had the opportunity to witness and make substantial contribution to the growth of one of the largest and fastest growing corporations over the past decade had always made me feel proud. For the most recent years, working full time at the same company with a serious disability had also been... something that gave me so much hope and purpose in life until all of a sudden the reasonable accommodation I had been officially receiving was abruptly taken away from me by a new management following my medical leave. Then one event after another started to evolve blurring the boundary between a bad noir story and an outright nightmare. Before long, I found myself working very long hours, struggling with a serious disease and at the same time fighting discrimination at a place I loved so much. In the months that followed, I complained to the company time and again, but to no avail. Along the way, I discovered the sad reality that as long as someone is labelled "low performer", even when the premise is completely false, the whole corporate machine would crushing down on you like a hurricane without any mercy and never bother to check on the supporting facts. At last, I gathered all my energy, wrote through many dark nights, and finally filed an official complaint in writing. I was issued an official response the very next day - a termination letter. Looking for an attorney to take my case then became another uphill battle until Greg from Scott's team called passionately, following a conversation with one of my witnesses. To summarize Scott's team, the words from one of the firm's past clients come to my mind - personable professional, success. Along the process, I delightedly discovered Scott's team has quite an interesting mix of personalities under their attorney's dark suits. Aside from being extremely intelligent, they are indeed a passionate bunch. As a client, you not only will feel very safe with your case in their hands, but also you will feel being blessed to be associated with these people that can make a legal struggle that much different from what one usually expects. They went through extra miles to shield unnecessary pressure and anxiety from their clients, while at the same time, worked diligently to protecting client's interests. At the end of the day, I feel satisfied that my lost pay was reasonably compensated, Scott's team was rewarded for their hard work, and I got a sense of justice. Although my case ends here, I believe without a doubt that the story with Scott's team will continue. With their almost contagious passion and exceptionally persistent fight for justice, certain corporations' bad behaviors will change and our society could become an even better place for all the hard working good people to enjoy their lives without having to face any type of wrongful discrimination.

My name is Ka Lam; I was a victim of retaliation by my former employer. I was a young man when this happened, barely into my mid 20’s. I knew what happened, but I was never sure I could convince others. I wanted my story to be heard, I wanted justice, I wanted for nobody to go through what I did. ... I started my process with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. After a while my case was making progress; however it was moving at a much slower pace than I wished. It had become a growing source of stress for me. In early 2010, I decided to start looking for outside representation to supplement the EEOC’s effort. I wanted someone that would believe me. I had a list of attorneys who I contacted but few spent the time to meet with me and listen to my story the way Scott did, let alone the fact that Scott explained to me in honesty how the legal arena works. I did not come to my decision to sign with The Blankenship Law Firm lightly but Scott and his team gave me the best impression and highest comfort level. The Blankenship Law Firm stands head and shoulders above other firms. During my arduous and hard fought battle, I was stressed and uneasy. Scott and his team gave me comfort and reassured me everything would be OK and that they were in my corner. That comfort and reassurance was invaluable to me. Today, nearing the conclusion of my case, I am ready to close this chapter of my life with my head held high, my dignity restored; I am in debt to Scott and his team. I want to tell you that Scott and The Blankenship Law Firm will forever be more than my attorneys… they are also my friends. You will be doing yourself a disservice by not having Scott and his team represent you.

Workplace harassment, retaliation, fear, intimidation, and daunting words can change a career from a dream to a living nightmare. I reached out to Scott Blankenship and to my elation, I felt a weight lifted and for the first time in years I found hope. With Scott’s support and hard work, my anxiety... and nightmares began to fade. Scott and his firm were there for me, day or night, weekends, holidays, sometimes more than what anyone would consider realistic. Scott’s strategy, skill, knowledge and power finally provided me with closure. Scott not only brought me the satisfaction of knowing my former employer was legally held responsible and forced to recognize the wrongs of their actions; he also brought about a generous settlement that changed my life and the lives of my family in ways that words cannot explain. Scott and his staff have been angels to me, to my family. I highly recommend Scott and The Blankenship Law Firm without hesitation to anyone who needs legal support that goes well beyond having just legal representation.

Scott Blankenship: Tenacious, focused, a true legal warrior. He helped re-establish my integrity as a Police Officer following the unlawful termination of my unblemished law enforcement career with the Vancouver (WA) Police Department. His expertise & willingness to take the fight to the end ...caused the City of Vancouver to pay the largest single employment discrimination settlement in the NW (according to Jury Verdicts Northwest), $1,650,000. His team also returned my credentials as a “Retired” police officer “In Good Standing”. As a result citizens from SW Washington, Portland, OR, & PoliceOfficers with the Fraternal Order of Police have begun writing to the US Dept of Justice & the FBI to investigate the corrupt practices within the City Attorney’s office, the Office of the Chief of Police, and the Vancouver City Manager. I would recommend Scott and his team, at any time, for any fight. Scott has once again garnered a reputation for taking on the Right Fight…& winning!

As you go through life you compile a mental list of those things that are most important. A solid family, good health, friends, and for some of us the occasion will arise to add one more item to the list — a great attorney. Nobody wants to seek legal help, but sometimes things are so egregious we... are left with no other alternative. I am a college educated veteran with more than 35 years as a successful business person in upper management. For many years I worked at the same firm and as my tenure there grew, so did the constant kidding about my age until it got downright nasty. Then it became a focal point to get rid of me when I complained about it. There is a lot more to the story, but let it suffice to say that being forced out solely because of my age was a real blow. This began two of the longest years of my life. I found Scott Blankenship after my former employer’s mother in law suggested I retain him. She had just won a suit against a former employer on similar grounds using Scott. I know this is getting a little complicated, but it points out how bad an employer can be when even his own family says to sue him. Scott and his staff teamed up and were unwavering in their assault. The opposition tried to drag in every phony witness they could muster, filed a counter suit and Scott picked them all apart in court like a skilled surgeon. He flushed out the liars and until finally they had no more falsehoods they could manufacture. Let me tell you there were some dark days in this lawsuit. The business community in our area got wind of it, and I had trouble finding work. But Scott never wavered; he fought as hard the last day as he did the first. We settled after more man hours then you can imagine. Scott’s firm, his close association with the EEOC, his reputation in the legal community with the judges and other attorneys assured our victory. You feel like you’re working with some very high test legal firm as depicted on TV. Actually you are working with an experienced, competent, and talented firm, absolutely the best.
