Jordan Robert Hammer

We hired Jordan to represent us on an estate matter in Florida . Being from out of state, the other attys we interviewed were much more expensive and thought our case was a longshot. Jordan turned our longshot into a 6 figure settlement. He was experienced in estate litigation, direct with his adv...ice and brought about a great result on time and on budget. Thanks, Jordan!

I retained Jordan Hammer to represent me in filing a Petition in a contentious Florida Probate proceeding. He was highly competent and extremely knowledgeable, and handled the matter expeditiously. He responded promptly to all my inquiries. I'm an attorney in a State outside of Florida, and could ...not have asked for a better attorney than Jordan Hammer to represent me in the Florida Probate litigation. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

Our first interactions were very good. Jordan was responsive and supportive of my requests. The estate process took longer due to some external legal issues which can occur in estate cases especially those involving relatively large sums of money. In order to move my case forward I had requested that... he review some of the other legal documents. This involved reading about three areas of a previously provided papers. About 2-3 pages of reading. Over the span of about 6 months I was promised on 3 separate occasions he would get it read. Emails and phone calls were not returned. It was only after I had to get another attorney involved that he responded. This experience unfortunately leads me not to recommend him for estate purposes.

When my husband died tragically and unexpectedly, his children contested the will. I called the Clarkskatof firm to seek legal representation. They gave my case to Jordan Hammer. At first, Jordan seemed wonderful. He got us in for our first court appearance quickly. The ball seemed to be moving along... and, he was easy to talk with. However, when my husband's children offered a settlement that included Jordan's firm acting as fiduciary, which would earn them firm six figures, everything changed. He and the senior partner began to pressure me into accepting the agreement. This was odd since they had been convinced that going to court was the right thing to do. Previously, when I had told Jordan that I didn't have the stomach for court he would give me a lecture about "Deserving vindication." I was hesitant to sign the agreement, given his previous, very passionate advice. I also wanted a couple of days to think on it. Jordan showed up at my house that evening. )(Yes, at my house.) My daughter was doing her homework in the dining room. I was crying in the kitchen. He strong armed me into signing the agreement. I regretted it immediately and called him within minutes, asking him not to file it and give me more time to read through it and think about it. He basically said "Too bad." I had another attorney call him and ask him to hold off on filing it. He got the same, "Too bad response." It was clear to me that Jordan's focus was on representing his firm rather than his client. I don't any doubt that Jordan was more interested into bringing the hefty fiduciary fee into this law firm than acting on my behalf. I have been very unhappy with the fiduciary service his firm was entrusted to perform. His children have indicated that they are not satisfied either. A house that was under construction and is a trust asset has been neglected. Even though I only own 25% of it, I finally hired someone to mow the lawn because the weeds were taking over and no one in Jordan's firm would act. It cost me $70. and took a single hour to find someone to mow the overgrown lot. This is just one example of many of how they have failed to look after trust assets. It genuinely seems that Jordan and the firm he works for, Clark Skatoff, put their own best interest over what is best for their clients.

I hired Mr. Hammer to handle some estate issues that had to go against my family over. He was knowledgable and constantly kept on my case. Never did he let them sit on their butts and allow them to get away with anything. He constantly keeps me informed, and does not talk down to me. He gives me str...aight answers and is always prompt with his responses. He is a great attorney.
