A wonderful lawyer
From the very first conversation I had with Mrs. Eskinde she has been a wonderful lawyer to have. She has been very informative to answering any and every question I had or have. I have recommend her to any one that has any legal issues. She is a superb lawyer to have in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"Veleka Eskinde has a marvelous ability to explain the law in a way that is easy to understand & I am honored to have the opportunity to endorse her here on Avvo."
"I have read many of Ms. Eskinde's postings and she combines the unique and truly special ability to combine both scholarly content with a 'tell it like it is' clarity which is exactly what Avvo readers want from a lawyer. I am definitely going to put Ms. Eskinde on my list of the 'must read' lawyers I follow. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Ms. Eskinde, and I agree with the comment that her writing is superb. I shouldn't be surprised, because in addition to her law degree, she has Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English Literature. So much of law involves the communication of thoughts and ideas. She's what every client needs: a smart lawyer & a great writer!"

"I have read every one of Veleka Eskinde's Avvo answers. She is exactly what a client needs when they look to an attorney for assistance--clear thinking, experience, and understanding with a healthy dose of reality--she is the kind of attorney I would want were I in the Crescent City and in trouble. I am happy to endorse Veleka."
"I've probably read several thousand Avvo responses since I have been participating here. Out of all those responses, very few stand out, either with respect to the substantive quality of the response or the writing style. As a California attorney, I cannot comment on Louisiana law; however, I can say Ms. Eskinde's responses stand out as beautifully written. She has great skill in communicating clearly and personally, and presenting legal issues in a way that should make sense to a lay person. Good writing is an indication of the quality of representation. It demonstrates an awareness of the subject matter as well as respect for the reader and potential client. If I ever need an attorney in New Orleans, I would not hesitate to contact Ms. Eskinde."
"I endorse Veleke Eskinde. She is highly-respected in the legal community and she has a strong desire to help people achieve solutions to even the most difficult problems."
