Mr. Crispin limits his practice exclusively to labor and employment matters primarily on behalf of individuals. He is sought out for his strategic representation of individuals in highly complex employment situations involving changes in employment, acceptance of a new position, promotions, demotions, developing exit strategies, negotiating severance, and litigating breaches of employment contracts. He often represents higher level executive employees, physicians, university professors, and other professionals. An experienced litigator, Mr. Crispin also represents individuals at all levels who have been discriminated against based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, workplace injury, or safety complaint; sexually or racially harassed; been retaliated against for making use of medical leave; unlawfully paid; not reinstated to employment upon return to work from an on-the-job injury; or in some other way treated unlawfully. Mr. Crispin has had the opportunity to appear twice before the United States Supreme Court in employment cases. He has argued employment cases before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Oregon Supreme Court, and the Oregon Court of Appeals. Many of these cases have resulted in important appellate rulings expanding the rights of employees.
