Robert A. Laskoff client review

In what was a complicated case, I was impressed by Attorney Laskoff's ability to pull together prior case facts and circumstances with new facts and similar circumstances all the while considering the most strategic approach for helping us win our case. He was quick to engage and was extremely confid...ent in his approach, making me and my firm extremely comfortable in what became a challenging case. I have had a long history with Attorney Laskoff and have always been impressed with his incredible and deep knowledge on various and often unrelated subjects, and his ability to work through a case with precision. He always does what he says he will do, and has always been very responsive. His tireless pursuit of putting us in a position to succeed is something that makes him a truly amazing attorney for us, and I am sure for all of his clients.

Posted by Brenda | September 10, 2012 | Workers Compensation

Attorney Laskoff represented me in an extremely complex workers compensation case.

I hired Attorney Laskoff for a complex workers compensation case. I had literally been put through the ringer by my company and was left to suffer with absolutely no benefits whatsoever. Attorney Laskoff and his Paralegal Tina went to bat for me immediately after I hired them. I was constantly kep...t up to date on happenings with my case and whenever I had a question or concern my calls were always put directly through to Tina or returned within a short period of time. My case was not 'of the norm' and was very complex . Attorney Laskoff was a breathe of fresh air for me. After more than 2 long years of suffering, he took charge and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend this lawyer and his team of professionals. They treat their clients like human beings and not second class citizens. He WILL fight for you.

Posted by Diane | April 23, 2012 | Divorce & Separation

Robert Laskoff represented me in a very complicated divorce involving multiple businesses.

I hired Attorney Laskoff to represent me in a very difficult divorce. He was referred to me by several other attorneys and came with high recommendations. I was not disappointed. Attorney Laskoff is not only a very good attorney, he is also very effective and is always looking out for your best int...erest. He clearly communicated with me his expection and the process. He was in constant contact with me to let me know how the case was proceeding. He was alway looking ahead to make sure that nothing was missed. His technique and expertise stands out amoungst his peers.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Mr. Laskoff was my mentor for seven years+. He is an incomparable trial lawyer and force in every way. He is a fighter, but knows when to settle. He works harder than anyone I have ever known for his clients. HIs outcomes speak for themselves. He has been noted as American's Top 100 Lawyers. That says it all. I learned nearly everything I know about how to practice with a "fire in my belly" from Mr. Laskoff and for that I am forever grateful. You cannot go wrong with this man who will have your back - always. I still refer cases to him and him to me. He continues to be my mentior and keeps me humble. He is always learning, always studiing, always getting better, stronger, sharper, for all of his client's benefit and mine. He knows how to run an A+ lawfirm that is ready for anything. He and his wife are dedicated to always improving the services they provide. Mrs. Laskoff is a formibable force in her own right. Cheers my mentor, and I am proud to say, my friend. Emily Smoak"
