Brian R Skarbek

Brian helped us out in successfully signing up the settlement agreement with our tenant and saved our thousands of dollars spending on eviction process. His team has given all expected amount of fees and charges during eviction process vs. settlement. I am glad we first tried settlement, and that ...worked. Brian has briefly explained chances of our case and possible results. He was fast and quick in understanding the problem and proposing appropriate solutions. I do not know how he has handled our tenant as he was tough to handle!!! Our property manager has given up on him suggested a legal route and to use our landlord rights. Our tenant was demanding 1.5 months free rent + moving out the expense of $1200 + to return his full deposit + pay the difference of electricity bill as drying heaters were running on the premises, costing all this for around 10K dollars and asking us not to make him liable for anything. His failure to report the clog and leak problems on time in two different bathrooms have caused flooding in the house. The water was standing for two months in the shower area after each use and hence produced rain across the roof to the downstairs dining area. He was not letting us start the construction work and demanding all these reimbursements. It was tough to place even only fan heaters for only drying up the flooded area. We have given him many offers as a landlord while working with the property manager for breaking up the lease and by giving his whole month rent back + $1000 deposit return + $ 450 moving out expense. But his greed never ended and he did not accept our couple of offers, and he kept demanding more, more and more. So we took legal help from Brian, and it all worked great and in our favor using our rights, etc. Thank you, Brian, Nicole & Katie! His price is highly reasonable and affordable. The only minor issue was that you have to follow up with Brian's team for checking different statuses and progress about your project etc. But I would say that I can totally ignore it if they are charging us less and doing the work with care and on time and under budget. Brian listens and respects suggestions those make sense and remain straightforward if something is not right or do not make sense. Brian avoids unnecessary conversations and always converse to the point that indirectly makes us cost less. As more, we talk the more we get billed  as the charging is per hour. So I like to the point talking idea. I would highly recommend working with him!

Brian and Nicole helped me every step of the way to terminate the lease with really nasty and high-maintenance tenants. They answered my questions and guided me throughout the process. Thankfully the tenants left prior to us starting eviction proceedings, but I was convinced that my case was in good ...hands with Brian. I will continue to use his services even for regular stuff such as rent-increase notices, etc - because frankly the cost of dealing with nasty tenants is far far more than the entirely reasonable fees that Brian charges. I got more than my money's worth with the prompt service and guidance that Brian and Nicole provided.

Brian and his assistant Nicole were very helpful in resolving the eviction process for my tenants. Instead of having to evict our tenants, Brian was able to negotiate terms with our tenants to have them make timely rent payment and even pay the legal fees. We deinitely will recommend Brian to other...s!

I am beyond confident that any help seeker will get the best advice and assistance from Brian. Among so many legal councils in service, Brian stands out not just for his high-standard professionalism, but also with his amazing courtesy and generality toward clients. The latter quality, extending well... beyond work ethics, is rare and extraordinary in today’s profit-driven society. Brian’s practice puts helping clients solving problems before business, which we as a community should recognize, appreciate, and reward. I had a tenant missing his rent payments for months. He promised and signed an agreement to move out, but repeatedly asking for extensions and failing/refusing to vacate. The whole thing evolved into a property owner’s worst nightmare. An eviction process seemed absolutely necessary. Worse yet, I just discovered recently that my rental house had not only sustained substantial damages but also suffered a total loss of brand-new stainless-steel appliances, while the place was littered with the tenant’s discarded belongings and wastes. I went to the Sheriff’s Office, and a very nice lady recommended a list of attorneys for eviction services, which, thankfully, had Brian’s name on it! When I called, Brian answered my phone personally and gave great consultation, free of charge, even advised against retaining his service formally to start an eviction process, because he saw a faster and no-cost option. Following his professional advice, I successfully regained control of my property without going through the expensive and time-consuming eviction process. Brian’s free consultation facilitated a swift resolution with no hassle, no waste of time and energy. That is truly priceless. When I insisted to compensate monetarily for his wonderful service, Brian refused, standing firmly by his principles. I can only imagine what superb legal service a lucky client must be getting when Brian grants a formal attorney-client contract!
