4
Prompt and sensitive handling of estate matters
“He was not only prompt at closing out my mother's estate, but he did so in an ethical and sensitive manner.”

Effective tax controversy resolution
“He completely eliminated the substantial IRS Tax Liability. HE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND I WILL EASILY REFER CLIENTS TO MR. SKATOFF, He is a miracle worker and he likes to WIN.”
Cons
1
Inconsistent and unprofessional handling of cases by associates
“He will never return your phone calls. He does not review your file and documents. He will complain about his work load and even verbalized "you are not the only client." You will be lucky If you actually get him to pick up your call or return your call.”
2
Lack of communication and responsiveness
“He will not inform the client of court dates even if a few days away. If you are lucky enough to get him on the phone he will report he has not reviewed important documents.”
3
Potential for mishandling of cases
“He dropped the ball a few times by not providing the court necessary paper work. It is hard to know which fact he tells you is true as it is constantly changing.”
4
Excessive billing and unsatisfactory outcomes
“I came out of this having spent an enormous amount of money, which was minimally recouped, a few paltry items that belonged to my step-father, and nothing from my mother, who predeceased him.”
5
Lack of responsiveness and follow-through
“I asked over five times to all parties including the Attorney but they never assisted me.”
