Honesty

I called this morning to use his service. After explaining my situation, he was honest to tell me that he would not be able to render his service to me. I understand my situation is peculiar. I will keep looking. I appreciate your honesty....Aliyu.

Comprehensive and reliable!

I got to know Howard thru a friend’s referral. Howard has strong expertise and years of experience in both immigration law and family law which suits my case perfectly. He was responsive and was very thorough with my questions, key steps, strategic planning, and potential obstacles/risks, etc. Howard... is sensitive, professional, confident, and extremely helpful. Also, his hourly rate is very reasonable given the services he provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a strong and trustworthy attorney.

An Excellent Attorney!

Howard is an excellent and incredibly effective attorney. I first met him when he was the company attorney for the IT company I was working for in the early 2000's. He help me apply for my H1B visa and even after leaving the company, I sought him out to apply for my greencard and eventually my citize...nship. During that process, I was very pleased with how responsive he was to my questions, whether by email or by phone. When I had a case for another family member, I did not give a second thought as to who I was going to consult. Howard has continued to be very responsive to my questions, following up on any issues I may have. I sincerely appreciate all the help and professionalism that Howard has shown me. I would gladly recommend attorney Howard for his service with no doubt. Thanks for all the help you have given me through the years and God bless.

Happy Client

I'm so glad that I hired Mr. Skolnick to handle my child support modification case. I had thought about filing it myself but decided to hire him instead which turned out to be a life saver. He was very responsive answering calls and emails and was very prompt and thorough with the handling of the ca...se. I just wish now that I had found and hired him back for my original divorce case.
