Made an appointment for a $100 consultation just to get a couple legal questions answered in regards to starting a business. I made it very clear that's all I needed. I don't need a lawyer, don't require representation. I was told the lawyer would be able to answer my questions. When I actually had the consultation the lawyer couldn't help me at all or answer a single question without me actually hiring him as my attorney and a $1500 retainer. The receptionist could have just told that and I wouldn't have paid $100 for 5 minutes just to get no questions answered. This is why lawyers get a reputation for being crooks! I feel they just stole $100 from me! Full disclosure.. they called me back and refunded my money after I had already given this review.

I used this firm to help get me out of a timeshare. I used Leonard and his associate Christopher. I had never hired an attorney before. I found this firm through the Oregon State Bar referral page. My experience was good. They were prompt with emails and very communicative with the whole process. I never went into the office, I did everything via email/phone. This worked well for me as I don’t have time to be running around.
I will definitely use them In the future for estate planning.

I go to the DuBoff Law Group anytime I have legal questions or need legal help. They're thoughtful, thorough, genuinely caring of the issues I needed help with, and very experienced (which was important to me; I didn't want to risk going with a newbie firm that didn't know what they were doing). I was confident that they'd help me and get the job done. Highly recommend.

Leonard and his team consistently provide excellent legal service. They are a team of caring people who actually care about their clients, often going above and beyond to achieve the best results, whether in corporate/general business law, intellectual property protection, or litigation. Leonard has been my go-to lawyer for more than 30 years, and I have recommended him to more people than I can remember, who have all been very pleased with the service they have received.

“Every time I have ever needed legal help I contacted Leonard Duboff, and he provided me with great information. I would strongly recommend that if you need an attorney you contact him. He is the best attorney I have ever dealt with.”

I have worked with the Duboff Law Group and Leonard several times over the past couple of years. The office has always been professional and prompt in their responses. Leonard and his team are very knowledgeable and helpful on a variety of topics, from intellectual property to contracts to estate planning among others. I have referred many to this office for their legal needs in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

I have been using DuBoff Law group for over 15 years in many capacities and I could not be happier! Specifically, the work I had done was on trademarks, patents, keeping my corporation on track. Other advice too numerous to mention. With that being said, their work has been consistently superlative, flawless and professional. Interestingly, I am in Seattle and they are in the Portland Oregon. working remotely has been excellent. Dennis.

Our International company IIVNTP has worked with Leonard Duboff and his staff for over 15 years. The legal council and guidance for all of our needs, were met professionally. We started as a small local group to international. Leonard Duboff has been a wealth of information and support through out our growth. All of us highly recommend he and his staff.

The DuBoff Law Group has been the legal counsel for the Association for Educational Communications & Technology for nearly 20 years. The firm has handled numerous legal issues for AECT and resolved them in an efficient, competent and timely manner.
In short, this Law Firm hs simply been outstanding to work with and delivers service that is exceptional

I found Mr. Duboff's advise and guidance invaluable!

He charged very little for the amount of money he saved me and provided free consultation on a separate matter.

I feel more secure knowing I have someone I can trust to represent and advocate for me if future issues arise.

Leonard and his staff are a delight to work with. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable in their field, but they communicate quickly and clearly. I have worked with Leonard on many levels and feel he is an asset to my company. We look forward to many more years with his firm.

Smart, but he wastes a lot of time telling his war stories. His billing practices are aggressive and self serving. Important: Check his history with the bar Asso for successful lawsuits against him and his pattern of billing.

So our family has a small kids video business that we started about 10 years ago. We had filed and received trademark for “Marvelous Media.” So imagine our surprise, when after 5 years in business, we received notice that we were being threatened by a lawsuit from a Japanese company for our name. Lucky for us, Leonard DuBoff was an old friend of the family from the neighborhood.

He knows his stuff; he is the king of trademark and copyright law. Long story short, after a short exchange between Leonard and the Japanese, not only was the lawsuit withdrawn, we have a deal where we are paid an annual licensing fee for the use of a related name.
The DuBoff Law Group is the best, and wonderful people, too. They helped us turn lemons into lemonade.

This is the craziest attorney visit I have ever had. First I call in for an initial consultation, at which point the receptionsist asks for a 100.00 deposit for the appointment. I let her know their web page said they are free. She said oh we will have to change that, I went ahead and paid her for a visit the following week. Today I get there and the same lady lets me know I will be meeting with the attorneys PA. The whole purpose for the visit was to meet the attorney and see if we would work together. I am hiring a business attorney for a fairly large business I own. So this was no small opportunity for them . To bad...

Mr. Duboff is an amazing man and an extremely knowledgeable litigator. I retained Mr. Duboff and staff to sue an auto restoration shop owner in June 2017. We won the lawsuit and the defendant was ordered to return my car, all parts, and pay $26,390 in fines and fees.

Although we won the lawsuit, I was charged over $40,000 in attorney fees and court costs that included $15,000 just for the one-day Arbitration Hearing. As part of the Judgment, Mr. Duboff requested the defendant be ordered to pay the $40,000 of my attorney fees and $1,800 in other expenses. The Arbitrator only awarded $15,500 of these attorney fees and stated in his decision: “… utilizing the senior partner plus four(4) attorneys plus a staff of four (4) paralegals does seem excessive to me in view of the lack of complexity of the case.” “… the preparation (attorney fees) for the TRO shows some overkill”. “… while I think the mediation, by mutual agreement, was commendable, it was not a necessary component for trial nor was it a requirement of prosecuting this case.” In regards to the Arbitration Hearing itself, the Arbitrator wrote “I am not sure why it took so many hours to prepare.” Mr. Duboff kindly agreed to waive $6,000 in fees, which was greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, to date, the defendant has failed to comply with all court orders and I have never been reimbursed a dime. I've had to pursue additional legal action to obtain my car and hold the auto shop owner in Contempt of Court for failing to comply with the Award Judgment. Two days prior to one of my court appearances, I was informed Mr. Duboff pulled my attorney (Amanda) off my case, recommending at the last minute that I contact an attorney I had never met or worked with previously. I was able to represent myself for this particular appearance but found this decision very disconcerting. I retired from the Air Force after 30 years of service and we have a core value to never leave a comrade behind. I was greatly disappointed by the manner in which our business relationship ended.

We have a small recruitment business in the United Kingdom. We contracted with a company in Oregon to create us a new website. After having paid many thousands of dollars and much negotiating with the company, 9 months later we had no website.
We believed that there was no chance of getting our money back, especially seeing as we are based in the United Kingdom - Until we were lucky enough to find Leonard DuBoff.
He took on the case with speed, efficiency and always kept us informed of any updates. We are so relieved and happy that in a matter of two months Leonard has achieved a full refund of our payment plus our legal costs. This is the best possible result. Thank you very much Leonard.

I needed some legal advice regarding some unconscionable business practices of an on line "education" company based in Oregon. Mr. DuBoff was able to identify the relevant legal issues very quickly and efficiently. Mr. DuBoff and his firm were very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Mr. DuBoff and his firm to anyone needing legal advice in the area of business law.

Wasted money was the least of the problems I had with this group. They are exactly the reason people would rather represent themselves. These people dont care about the case and make it well known.

We just think the world of Leonard Duboff! We contacted him to help us with a trademark of our new company after trying to process the work myself. His expertise was apparent right off the bat! He and his learned associates kept us informed throughout the lengthy process and completed the task in an excellent manner. A year later, we found we had a trademark infringement. Again, Mr. Duboff lost no time educating us, contacting the other party and supported our company name out of court. He is now ‘our lawyer’ and we are very thankful!

I have had the privilege of knowing Leonard and working with him since the 1980’s. Everything he and his associates have done for our company over the years has been thorough, professional, insightful and, consequently, successful. Everything. You will not find a better lawyer or a better team. — Owen Alstott

Leonard and his staff are a wealth of knowledge on a variety of specialties. I first connected with him when I published a magazine in Portland. He directed me to his "Plain English" series of books which covered the basics of what I needed to know regarding copyright and other topics relating to writing and the world publishing. I am fortunate to know him and would hire him anytime I need representation.

DuBoff and his associates were knowledgeable, efficient and got quick results. Had a dispute with a former employer who was being hesitant to follow the law. Leonard and his team assured me they've dealt with situations like this in the past. A simple demand letter outlining the violations of law resulted in the employer quickly coming to their senses and all of our conditions were met.

In our consultation, DuBoff laid out how he was going to handle this, executed quickly and got the job done.

Unfortunately, I have to give this firm one star. I was referred to this lawyer by Oregon Bar Association and pre-paid a consultation fee to ask a couple questions. My conversation with Leonard DuBoff lasted all of 4 minutes, which works out to $525 per hour. Pretty good rate of return. He said he couldn't help me unless he reviewed the information but to do that I must retain him. I'm wondering if he can't give me a consultation until we hire them why charge $35? no help received and no consultation was done. this is such a scam!

Leonard helped me sell a painting by means of an auction house. Selling the painting was a significant decision for me, and Leonard patiently worked with me every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable, and at the same time, able to explain everything in a way that I can understand. He quickly answers my phone calls and emails. Because of his expertise, he negotiated a remarkable deal with a well-known auction house. I definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Leonard and his staff helped me with my estate planning. They took time to explain everything. They understood my needs and worked with me in a very caring way. I enjoy every interaction with the Duboff Law group and have been very pleased with their work.

The DuBoff law office was most helpful when I needed to speak with someone about my parents going into assisted living. They have property and I wasn’t sure how to proceed and he personally gave me excellent advice. Without his suggestions my brothers and I would still be spinning our wheels wondering what to do. In the end he unfortunately couldn’t help but he gave us the questions we needed to ask the right people. Thank you so much you have helped make this personal process so much easier.

As an author, my recent project was indefinitely on hold due to some legal questions I had and didn't know where to turn for help. Now, because I attended Leonard's outstanding lectures at a recent writers conference where I first met him, I am confidently moving forward with publishing my memoir. After his lectures I immediately reached out to him via phone and email, to which he promptly replied. I set up a consultation over the phone, and before I knew it, all my questions and concerns were addressed "in plain English." His rates are very reasonable, and I intend to buy his "In Plain English" series of books and use his services in the future. I recommend anyone reading this to do the same.

Leonard DuBoff has been my attorney since the late 1980s. He has represented me in business as well as personal matters. He is brilliant in all matters of the law, but more than that, he has become a family friend, someone I trust implicitly to guide me in all business and legal matters. He got me out of a financial jam by out-thinking opposing counsel through careful scrutiny of the business contract. His rates are much less than that of attorneys in NYC and LA, and he is as good if not better than them. Very responsive, he returns calls promptly, even when out of town on other cases. I would never go anywhere else for legal advice.

I have been a client of Duboff Law since 1997. During that time, Leonard Duboff has represented my company in 2 legal cases, and has advised on hundreds of IP issues in the areas of Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, and Trade Dress. Leonard is both highly knowledgable, and able to make complex IP issues understandable by the lay person. During this 20 year period, Leonard and his team have provided top notch service while at the same time working carefully to save my company from paying unnecessary expenses. I would highly recommend Duboff Law to any company struggling with the complex issues of IP protection, litigation, and management.

Most law firms u deal with there paralegal and not ur actual attorney until the time comes. I have only spoke with a paralegal when I was on the phone with my attorney at the same time. Mr. DuBoff is fast an efficient in returning phone calIs as well as emails. We have had nothing but great experience with this law firm and if I ever need them again I would defiantly inquire with this law firm first. I recommend Mr. Duboff and his team 100%. They are loyal and we felt we were very important to them every time a matter or question arised. This law firm makes you comfortable your not wasting your money or time. Mr. DuBoff is straight forward and to the point as well he is a very honest man. They do not take you for all your money as you sit and wonder what's happening next. Me an my father are very happy we have them to represent us.

I am an intellectual property attorney in Florida. I hired The Duboff Law Group, PC in Portland, Oregon for an important legal matter. Leonard and his staff were very professional from the start. They worked diligently and quickly, while keeping my budget in mind. Leonard kept me in the loop as he worked on the case. He explained the options, detailing the pros/cons. After we agreed on a plan, Leonard swiftly obtained a positive result. His knowledge and expertise in handling the matter was a breath of fresh air. I would be pleased to work with him again.
