I give him two thumbs up, althought it was fustrating not hearing from him when a return phone call was expected. But then again, my experience with lawyers on other situtations were the same...all lawyers act the same way, if they have nothing to tell you, they have nothing to say, therefore no call. This is not TV. I always called his office for updates and the secretary was very helpfull, as was his associate Charles. I had no problem with the way he did business, but he should explain how he works during the initial visit. That until he hears from SSD there is nothing to talk about. Believe me I only learned this after I received my benefits. Although it took what I thought was a long time, I later found out that there are people that wait much longer to receive benefits. He and his small staff are very cordial and knowledgeable when you do call there and you do get your answers to questions asked, but you need to do all the calling. Lets face it, when we want what we want, we are the ones that have to be diligent in keeping on top of what is needed, we also have to do some work here. I didn't mind. I only wish he would have let us be aware of the procedure and what to expect from them in the beginning, would have been less taxing on my nerves. But I must say even when I thought all looked grim, they were encouraging and confident that there would be a positive outcome. He certainely knows the system, so have patients and put your trust what he says. I would recommend him highly.

He got the job done....and I am grateful to him for helping me. When I first entered his humble little Brooklyn office, which is in a side entrance of an apartment building, i didn't know what to expect. Mr. Skrovonsky immediately put me at ease, looked over my papers,and gave me very honest opinions about my case. I believe that he is extremely knowledgeable and very well connected, which he is very quick to point out. He seems to have a great relationship with the judges who will hear your case, and in his words, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." To make a long story short, I think he won my case. The hearing just took place recently, and i have not received any mail yet. What bothers me however, is that i had to call his office to hear the news. i was expecting a call from them which never came. In fact, all of our communications except for one phone call a few days before the hearing was initiated by me. I can sympathize with the person who wrote the review complaining about his lack of responsiveness. But at the end of the day, i am going to get paid, and i guess that is all that really matters. In his defense (no pun intended) i suppose he can't spend hours on the phone all day if he is going to be winning cases left and right. So perhaps it's not such a bad thing that he is not a "phone" guy. He is busy getting results. I just wish he had someone in his office who would touch base once in awhile to keep the person who is sitting at home on pins and needles waiting to hear about their case at ease.

Mr. Skovronsky is very professional and compassionate. He understands the system completely and is well-respected by the Social Security judges. After my two SSDI applications were "lost" by the SSA over two years, I retained Mr. Skovronsky, we filed a third application and I was approved in 8 months. Mr. Skovronsky was able to expedite an administrative hearing for retroactive benefits from the initial filing date which was successful. I have referred him to several people who have had good results and expedited hearings.

Files papers on time. Good. No other work done, no phone calls, no checking to see if more medical records are necessary and absolutely no correspondence UNLESS he needs you to sign up with him again if you are appealing etc...THEN within the hour you either see or hear from him...Nothing more than a 15 minute meeting before court, even if you have called 10 times requesting information, a return phone call etc.....No checking to see if med records are in need of update well ahead of court date as he should, no request that papers be reviewed by him before submitted to court...no brief written so the judge can see the facts of the case in a clear manner. I called him just before hearing...otherwise wouldn't hear from him. Never use again. Not recommend.
