Review for Howard Skolnick

Mr. Skolnick assisted us with our wills and was a source of helpful information regarding the laws pertaining to our situation. We appreciated his professionalism and courtesy and would utilize his services again for other matters.

Knows his business

My husband and I met with Howard regarding my husband's citizenship into the United States.He was very knowledgeable and very up front about what would happen and what could happen,And how long it would take. He has always returned phone calls even while he was on vacation with his family. I don't kn...ow any other attorney that has done that.His prices are very reasonable for what all he does and the time he spends on your case.Very honest and down to earth.Easy to approach and discuss personal life with. He won't candy coat the legal system but makes it understandable. I can promise he wont take the money and leave you wondering he keeps you informed and can feel free to call him at anytime for any questions.

No Stone Unturned

Having consulted Howard on more than one issue, I find his depth of knowledge outstanding. Howard is quick to grasp a situation and although empathetic, his professionalism enables him to review any situation clearly and unemotionally, providing his Client the best advice and course of action. I have... recommended, and will continue to recommend Howard as both an Immigration and Business Counsel

Great Guidance Attorney When Hard Facts of Life Are At Hand

We hired Mr. Skolnick to help us prepare a Will as well as End of Life Documents. My husband had terminal cancer with a very aggressive disease. We needed someone we could trust to guide us on getting our very important paperwork in place. He was wonderful and very knowledgeable on what we needed d...uring treatment as well as when the dreaded time came to be ready for the Probate. The whole way through he was considerate of how difficult this was for us and after my husband passed he continued with taking me through each phase of the process . Then the day came for me to appear in court and Howard was right there with me and even had all the paperwork I needed to keep as well as what I might need in the future. I would have been lost without his professional representation. Also I found his charges to be more than fair. He explained his fees and what to expect and there were no changes from beginning to the end. I will forever be grateful.
