Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Hands down the best probate lawyer in Florida! Jeff handled a complicated probate litigation matter for me involving Florida's elective share. I received a lot more than I ever expected! Also, Jeff's paralegal, Susan Wear, did an outstanding job assisting him with my case! I highly recommend this firm!
Jeff and the other lawyers at his firm won a trial for me. They took my case with no money up front when other lawyers would not. I cant say enough good things about this law firm.
I am a tax accountant/tax attorney with 25 + years of experience. I had been trying to resolve a major tax controversy with the IRS for over 2 years, but the IRS was not accepting my submissions. I researched tax attorneys with litigation experience. I retained Jeff (prior Tax Litigator w/DOJ). In less than 4 months, Jeff had the tax controversy resolved and completely eliminated in our favor. He is a miracle worker and likes to WIN. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND JEFF TO ANYONE--without reservation
Mr. Skatoff and his associates handled a trust administration and litigation for me and my family. They did a wonderful job. Perfect. Parfait!
Handled a large probate case for me, with litigation against other family members. He was able to resolve the case for me successfully. Superior knowledge of the law, with great litigaton instincts.
The firm did a probate for me with many issues. They are good and know the law. The paralegals are really helpful.
Terrific. Knows the law very well. Responsive. Creative. Aggressive. Everything you would want as a lawyer. He got a better result for us than we expected.
HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AT A TRYING TIME. HE SUGGESTED LOTS OF NEEDED PROTECTION POINTS.
Jeffrey Skatoff gave some seriously bad advice when he had all the fact of our probate case, including the original will, and other documents. He took my money l, which later refunded. He missed a super basic fact that changed the outcome of everything even after I called multiple times to check in and make sure everything was on track. Basically he said "my bad" and refused to help further. He cause major headaches on our family side after dealing with two losses in 6 months. His mistake should have been easily discovered by any competent attorney. I am not sure if he lost a step or is just checked out but I would seriously consider someone else!
Jeffrey Skatoff provided inaccurate legal advice. He did not know necessary steps that needed to be taken regarding trust issues. He recommended a settlement and did not follow up on necessary documentation. We had to pay another attorney to do what Skatoff was paid for. He was inattentive to the case and I would NOT recommend his services to anyone. He did not communicate and was completely unresponsive 99% of the time. If there was a 0 rating, that's what I would give him.
