GREAT ATTORNEY

A little over a year ago I was in an automobile accident and needed an attorney, my friend recommended Mr. Sklare. I was scared and confused but with his help I was able to move forward from this awful experience. He held my hand through the process and I'm extremely happy with the final outcome. ... "Thank You."

Great Attorney, Awesome Staff!

First I want to say what a wonderful staff Mr. Sklare has, very pleasant ladies, very helpful. I hired Mr. Sklare and his firm for an auto accident I had a few years back. The times I called the office Mr. Sklare was very nice, polite and answered all my questions I had, the staff kept me updated on ...status on my case, calling to see how my treatment was doing. I am very pleased with Mr. Sklare, he did a wonderful job on my case, he's an attorney I would recommend to family and friends.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Further suspension stayed issued in IL, 2011

updated on 09/09/2016

Further suspension stayed means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. Typically the requirements are included in a probation term the lawyer has been given at the same time.

Richard’s comment:

“Those who make mistakes are judged not by that mistake,but by how they learn and grow from them.”

Suspension issued in IL, 2010

updated on 09/09/2016

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a specific period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Richard’s comment:

“Life is not without challenges and defeat . We are judged not by our failures,rather we are judged by how we grow and rise from them.”
