DO NOT HIRE!!!

Doug Skalka and his firm, Neibert, Pepe and Monteith, made a number of representations to us in order to get our business and represent us in a very important case. After they were hired the case has not moved in the year they have been “working on it”. They have not acted on any part of what t...hey represented they would do. What was at first a “winnable case” base upon their review has now become a case that is languishing solely because of their inaction. I can’t warn you enough, Hire Neubert, Pepe and Monteith if you want to pay an attorney and get no results. Caveat emptor. STAY AWAY!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
