I was facing charges for Armed Violence and Possession of Ecstasy. I was facing 15 years minimum. After Mr. Petro fought a motion to suppress and trial. The Judge found me not guilty of Armed Violence. Thank you Mr. Petro for all the hard work.

I was charged with a 3 major federal crime and was facing 14 years. Michael Petro represented me. His efforts lowered my time 63 months and I did not have to cooperate with the government. Thanks to Michael, I am now in the half-way house on may way to getting back with my family full time.

I was in a car accident a year ago and attorney Richard Sklare was very helpful every step of the way. From helping me with my property damage, helping me establish my car rental. Every time I called he was available to talk to me. When it came time for the settlement I can honestly say I was HAPPY.

I looked out to him for help when I got into a car accident like 4 months ago and I still have no information every time I call he's never in I never recieve a call back and I feel like his receptionist just don't give him the messages if I had known I would have reached out to another attorney but now I know for future references never use all are law firm again

I called mr. sklare office I was told he was on vacation [ which it fine] & they would have him call me back once he comes off vacation [ never received a call] the staff [ all women] are very rude & unprofessional, they do not make me feel like they care about me [ even if they don't u don't want the client 2 know that] I sent them all my info & everytime I call they ask the same question[ which I answered 5 times already] any business will ask your name [ maybe date of birh or ss number] to al least look like they are professional [ they don't do any of that] then they over talk you & never answer your question. I've been told they called [ I have caller id & voice mail] never got a call. when I call them back, they are very very rude & it seems like 2 me they don't want 2 be bothered. I told them they don't have great reviews, they really could care less. I think I made a HUGE MISTAKE USING THIS FIRM [ some one told me about them]

I highly recommend Mr. Sklare, he is a great attorney. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. My phone calls were promptly returned, his staff is very polite, they always made sure I was taken care of and always kept me informed and up to date to let me know what was going on with my case.

First I want to say what a wonderful staff Mr. Sklare has, very pleasant ladies, very helpful. I hired Mr. Sklare and his firm for an auto accident I had a few years back. The times I called the office Mr. Sklare was very nice, polite and answered all my questions I had, the staff kept me updated on status on my case, calling to see how my treatment was doing. I am very pleased with Mr. Sklare, he did a wonderful job on my case, he's an attorney I would recommend to family and friends.

I would highly recommend this attorney. He provided excellent customer service, was always available to answer all of my questions. His staff was also very helpful and courteous. My case settle quickly and I received a good settlement.

A little over a year ago I was in an automobile accident and needed an attorney, my friend recommended Mr. Sklare. I was scared and confused but with his help I was able to move forward from this awful experience. He held my hand through the process and I'm extremely happy with the final outcome. "Thank You."

Having previous met with other attorneys I found that Mr. Sklare gave me the best advise which gave me the confidence to go with his firm, His secretaries were very helpful and answered any questions that I had. Mr. Sklare was very professional and genuine threw out the whole process.

Mr Sklare is a great lawyer . My calls were always promptly responded to . The settlement he procured for me was very generous . His staff was polite and helpful . The last review must be from a client who is not being honest Mr Sklare is a great lawyer .

"I strongly recommend that you DO NOT use this attorney. I signed up with the Evins, Friend & Sklare firm for a personal injury case and I received egregious mishandling of my case - bordering on malpractice. The communication was virtually non-existent. After being in an auto accident, I called the office approximately a dozen times over the next year to make sure that the case was moving forward, but I rarely received a call back, and never from an attorney. Since I didn't have any experience in similar situations, I really didn't know what to do. I received no guidance or advice on the proper documentation of injury or handling of my case. Because of this mishandling, I did not receive fair compensation. The office staff is consistently rude and simply does not return calls. Finally, after sending a letter threatening a malpractice suit against the firm, I magically got a call the next day and a little bit of attention, albeit with an everpresent petulant attitude. Sklare was the primary attorney with whom I communicated. I ended up calling other law firms to see if they would take over my case, but they declined, since it was so far along. I don't know if they are overbooked or are simply disorganized and lousy, but I would STRONGLY recommend NOT using Sklare or his firm. Call around. Speak to several lawyers and make sure you feel comfortable with the entire firm before signing on. Good luck."
