Beware

Beware - the extreme caution warning is here for a good reason. I had numerous problems with this lawyer. He failed to keep me updated on the status of my case, did not familiarize himself with my case before hearings, tried (unsuccessfully) to overcharge me, among other problems. You should chec...k Iowa and Illinois court records to see how many times he's been sued before you consider hiring him. I would not hire him again and would not recommend.

Showed up unprepared? I did a 4 day jury trial for the Trianni's in DuPage County Illinois. The jury awarded the husband an appropriate amount. They found the wife was not injured because she did not seek medical care right away for her injuries. There was no over-charging of fees because as with all personal injury cases a percentage of the recovery was the fee. I am very sorry the jury did not believe Ms. Trianni's injuries andI wish her the very best.

Rob Leyshon: Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

I was involved in a horrible car accident and I retained Rob Leyshon and his team at Sklare for my case. From the very start, he was proactive, addressed every concern I had, communicated with me during the entire process and made it so easy for me to work with them. Rob went above an beyond negot...iating for me, and got me more money than I anticipated. Additionally, everyone at Sklare is so personable and friendly. If you have suffering due to an accident or personal injury, I highly recommend Rob Leyshon and his team at Sklare to handle the case.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in IA, 2007

updated on 07/10/2017

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Iowa.

Robert’s comment:

“Concluded 2008”

Suspension Stayed issued in IL, 2006

updated on 05/22/2007

This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.

Probation Revoked issued in IL, 2006

updated on 07/10/2017

This means an attorney on probation has violated its terms and the original discipline, usually a suspension, has been reinstated. He or she will not be able to practice law again until the suspension expires.

Robert’s comment:

“Concluded 2007”
