Scott is a role model for what attorneys should be like. He responds quickly to questions, answers in layman's terms that make sense, and takes a practical business approach to solving the situation quickly and economically. He's the guy I'd recommend anyone go to for their first choice.

As a plaintiff in a relatively small-dollar employment dispute with complex legal issues, I could not give Scott a higher recommendation. Sharp, efficient, attentive, cost-conscious, and highly respected by our corporate opposing counsel. Scott carefully guided me to a fair settlement better than I expected.

I engaged Mr. Cliff to help me deal with a former employer. Mr. Cliff was easy to contact and work with, he knew the law and he was a capable negotiator. He was very helpful in recovering the wages I was due, and regained medical coverage for me as well. I was very pleased with his assistance, and would recommend him to anyone with similar problems.

Scott Cliff has done extraordinary service for Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center related to employment law. We have dealt with occasional disgruntled workers who were willing to betray the truth and distort the legal intent of the law in the hope to forcing an unearned payout from our business. Scott has proved to be masterful in terms of knowledge of relevant laws, best legal strategies to employ and clear communication with us, the client to help us make the wisest choices.

Scott helped me navigate through a difficult corporate executive downsizing and severance issue. Scott is very thorough and practical in his legal advice -- I highly recommend him.

Scott is truly an expert in the area of labor & employment law. And though he is thoughtful and contentious, he doesn't hesitate to communicate the "hard truth" to his clients--exactly what you want from an attorney. I highly recommend Scott for any employer or employee with a legal need pertaining to labor & employment law.

I had a difficult situation with an ex-employer who was not keeping the terms of an employment agreement. Scott took the time to thoroughly understand the situation, presented different options to resolve the issue in the most cost effective way, brought the employer to the bargaining table, and negotiated a reasonable compromise without a lengthy and expensive courtroom battle.{para}Scott is an attorney that I would recommend without hesitation.
