“Scott did an excellent job in representing our Board of Directors in a very difficult employee dispute. He took what was a very passionate and extensive complaint against a supervisor and guided the parties involved toward mediation and reconciliation.  He presented the legal issues in a way that a layperson could follow and understand them. He was always prompt in responding to every detail even when out of town. We felt like he was a step ahead of the other attorney involved in the dispute and at the same time made sure that communications did not become adversarial with the other party and their attorney. The bottom line is that Scott kept the complaint out of the courts. The matter was settled through mediation to both our Board of Directors satisfaction as well as the satisfaction of the complaining party. And he even got the employee and supervisor to participate in a reconciliation process where mutual forgiveness and understanding occurred.” . --Web Review AVVO “Mr. Cliff was recommended to me by another lawyer in the Portland area. I was very pleased with the response that I received from Scott from the very first phone call. He kept me up to date on all proceedings and filings related to my case. I would recommend Mr. Cliff to anyone who is in need of an attorney.”  --Web Review AVVO “I was referred to Scott by a colleague of his. After giving him a breakdown of the problems I was having, we met and discussed my options. Scott was thorough in his research and I had no problems coming to an acceptable resolution with my case. Thanks for all your help Scott.” --Web Review AVVO   “Never thought I would have to use an attorney but I did. And I got lucky, all I did was look up employment attorney and he was the first one that came up so I called. It couldnt have worked out any better. When I called he asked me a few questions about what my situation was after explaining it to him he instantly asked when I could come to his office, as soon as i got to the office we talked about the situation i gave him the facts and he did the rest.  He made me feel really comfortable with what had happend and reasured me that it would end the way we wanted it to, he said all I have to do is trust him, so I did and he didnt let me down at all. He actually really impressed me with his knowledge of law and his ability to win he kept me up to date day to day letting me know everything thats going on I would recommend him anytime I have the opportunity.” --Web Review AVVO

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT SCOTT T. CLIFF (Testimonials are not intended to imply that similar results can be obtained for all clients in all matters; each matter is unique, as is each client.) “I could always expect you to respond quickly to my calls and provide me with well reasoned advice; sometimes legal and sometimes practical. You were a pleasure to work with and I always learned something new from you. You represented CenturyTel well. Your legal arguments in the many employment and labor related cases we worked on were beautifully argued and written; precise, persuasive and always on point.  I am sure that is why we never lost a case.” –Joseph Osa, Vice President Labor Relations, CenturyTel We have worked with Scott Cliff for years, seeking advice on a broad spectrum of very complex employment matters in a health care setting.  From the very first meeting, Scott was instantly approachable and an extremely good listener.  He knew it was critical to understand our business and company culture in order to deliver the best advice.  We appreciate his very thorough but also frugal approach.  --Kris Holgerson, VP Human Resources Willamette Dental Group   "Scott did an absolutely wonderful job defending us against a multinational company that tries to control thier vendors and cover their own errors by suing those vendors whether for just cause or not.  In our case, Scott went to the original contract written by some gazillion dollar law firm (also multi-national) and had the case dismissed because their contract, and the justification for their law suit, specifically disallowed the basis they used to sue us. Even better, he used very few hours and a reasonable rate to get it all done. I cannot emphasize my gratitude to him enough. He is honest, smart, does his research thoroughly and is not afraid to make the big boys in Portland mad at him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for those qualities in an attorney." --2008 Client      "You were wonderful to work with. You always made me feel like I was the only person on your calendar and I could call you anytime for even the smallest of questions. It was very nice that when I called that you personally answered the phone instead of going thru a receptionist. The feeling I had was that you and I were partners, not attorney-client and I thank you for that. If I ever am in need of an attorney in the future, or if I know of anyone that needs legal help, I will give them your name."--(Employee client who retained her job and received a monetary settlement) Scott Cliff assisted me with a charge against my former employer with respect to their response to my request for reasonable accommodations for my disability. Scott was extremely well-informed, thorough, intelligent, and a genuine pleasure to work with. I relied on his expertise at a very difficult time, and I am so happy my husband and I found Scott to handle my case. We were disappointed with other attorneys we considered, but Scott impressed us immediately.  Scott showed integrity and empathy throughout the approximately six months it took to get the result we wanted.  He remained calm, professional, and focused despite the charged emotions that were part of the process. Scott's demeanor, combined with his expertise, helped ensure the matter was resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.  I recommend Scott highly and without reservation for anyone seeking legal help with a disability-related employment matter. --Name withheld pursuant to Settlement Agreement “I have a small business with 18 employees and I have used Scott for advice and help with employee related issues for about 8 years and have been very satisfied.
