Scott Cliff is the most outstanding attorney I have ever worked with. His service sets the Five Star standard for an exceptional experience and outcome. From my initial encounter, I was confident I could trust his legal expertise and allow him to guide me through the process during an incredibly stressful time. Scott demonstrated personal care, utmost professionalism, and excellent and timely communication. He was extremely thorough – he quickly shared what documents and information he needed and made it easy to provide to him. His turnaround time was fast and this helped immensely to relieve some of my stress during this horrendous ordeal. Due to Scott’s highest level of client service, I can’t imagine going through this life-altering event without his representation. He was a lifesaver!! The silver lining is due to my experience, this starts a client/attorney relationship that will last for many years to come. What a comfort to rely on Scott for my current and future legal affairs. I am beyond exceptionally satisfied and honored to recommend Scott as the finest attorney on the planet!!

Scott did a great job negotiating an acceptable exit plan after I had made a few poor choices on my own. Scott was the best choice I made in the situation. Thank you Scott for your help and advice.

I had the misfortune of having an employer dispute my eligibility for benefits after already receiving benefits for over 6 months. I decided to go with Scott because he has so many years of experience and is so specialized in the area of Employment Law. I am so grateful to have trusted Scott to take my case. The details of my specific situation were very confusing and unusual. I am so, so glad to have chosen Scott as my attorney. He was honest, compassionate, direct, attentive, and responsive. Although the details of my case were difficult and did not result in the conclusion I’d hoped for, this was at absolutely no fault of Scott. He told me from the start that my case would be an uphill battle that likely wouldn’t be able to be overturned due to a technicality in the law. However, that did not stop Scott from trying his hardest and giving me the absolute best chance possible. I whole heartedly recommend Scott Cliff to anyone facing employment disputes. He is, without a doubt, the most experienced, competent, and qualified lawyer that you could get for any sort of UI or employment issue.

I contacted Scott to have an employment contract reviewed. Scott replied to my message within hours, reviewed my agreement and provided a straight forward, easy to understand summary of areas of risk along with recommended changes all in the same day. I am very pleased with his responsiveness and he was very easy to work with.

This is the first wage dispute I have needed representation for. Scott was able to listen from the begining and help me to fully understand the legal limitations and allowances of my situation in a way that I could understand. Scott diligently kept me in the loop as the dispute unfolded with patience, acceptance and understanding. He provided documents that were strong yet kind. The dispute I was in was far from ordinary and needed to be handled with wisdom. This is exactly what Scott provides and then some. I hope to never need his services again but if I do I will not hesitate to call or recommend someone in need!

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 worked on my employment case. My employer did not pay me after I resigned. Scott is knowledgeable, persistent, and professional. He got the job done and I got my back wages paid. Thank you Scott for all your hard work. I highly recommend Scott for any employment issues.

I hired Scott for an employment matter and am very glad I did. From the start he listened intently, asked great questions, was easy to work with and understanding. It was clear from the start that he understood my case and believed in it, and was willing to work hard to get the outcome that was best for me. I'm very happy with the settlement we reached and could not have done this without his help.
