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 a...s 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.

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. T...he Blankenship Law Firm provides their clients the 3 C’s of representation: they are extremely competent; they are credible in the legal community; and they work with a confidence that they have earned through the many hard-fought cases they have won. 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. Based on my own personal experience with Mr. Blankenship as well as that of a close family member who has also benefitted from his counsel, I highly recommend that you reach out to this firm.

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 p...rocess. 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.

Posted by Jeff | March 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

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 whe...n 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.

"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"
