Matthew Allen Skillern's Reviews

Matthew handled both the criminal charges I was faced with and a sensitive family matter. In both instances, he was extremely responsive, caring, compassionate, and best of all - TOUGH! He kept us informed every step of the way and prepared us for all possibilities each time we went to court. Although I hope to never need to retain him in the future, I would in a moment. I highly recommend his services and have passed his name on to my family and friends.

Matt brought a tremendous amount of energy, confidence and knowledge to my divorce/custody case. He kept me very well informed, patiently explaining options, strategy and likely outcomes. When it looked like my case might go to trial, I was confident, knowing I had an experienced trial lawyer in my corner. Matt and staff were very professional, but also genuinely concerned for me and my family. I was fortunate to find such a good person to help me through such difficult times—and with good results.

Matt worked with me to help finish a divorce that was on hold for way too long. He was informed in all aspects of my case, always kept me informed and was very professional and courteous. I would recommend him and his firm any day.

Matt represented me in my divorce. Matt helped me through some hard times. He helped me with all the aspects of my divorce. He knows his stuff. I went in not knowing anything and at the end learned a lot. I had a very good outcome and would highly recomend Matt.

Matt helped me with my divorce in Polk County where I was living at one time. I moved back to Houston, and he worked with me, to let me know how the case is doing. It took almost a year to get to the court in Polk County, and whent the time to go to court, he was profession in his duty, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who may need help.

Matt did my divorce for me and I was very satisfied with how it turned out. He was very professional and he explained everything to me the way I could understand it completely. I highly recommend him!

My son was arrested trying to go through airport security with a knife in his back pack. I called Matt on a recommendation from our corporate attorney and he responded immediately. He came to court with us the following day and laid out the plan for my son's defense. During the next few weeks we put together information about my son to present to the grand jury to show that this was not an intentional event and that he was not a threat in any way. Matt continued to provide us feedback and support and in the end met with the DA's office and was able to obtain a dismissal. Not only is Matt very professional and skilled but he is personable and wonderful to work with. I hope to never have need for his services again but if I do I would not hesitate to call him and have him represent me!

You get what you pay for. Matt is a great criminal defense lawyer. He was able to get my DWI case dismissed. I would definitely recommened him and his Law group to anyone. They know what they are doing.

I was in a legal situation I never thought I'd be in, and right from the beginning Matt kept me calm and helped me rationalize through the steps we would take to achieve a dismissal. Even though the whole ordeal made me nervous, I was very confident that I had chosen the right person to represent me. I never doubted that he was doing everything he could to help me out, and I could tell by our discussions and his suggestions and actions that he was sharp and knew how to acheive results. i knew I was in good hands, and in the end his best was definately good enough as we got a dismissal! Obviously it was worth every penny. I would definately recommend Matt to anyone who has the misfortune of being put in that same situation. As a matter of fact, especially if it was a friend or family member, I would INSIST they go to Matt.

I was arrested and was refered to this law frim where i met Matt and for the next year (to the date) he helped me with every thing that I needed to do. He answered all my questions and concerns with confidence and ease. When it came to trail time he new exactly what to say and when to help me win and I did. I would recommend him to anybody.

I live overseas and my son was arrested in Houston. It was very stressful but the most difficult for me since I was not there when my son was arrested. But I was able to obtain Scheiner's Firm. Matt is a very knowledgeable and intelligent attorney. I must admit gave Matt a hard time with my decisions on my son's case but he did his job by having my son's case dismissed. I would recommend him w/ no doubt if you are looking to get the best representation anywhere. In my eyes, Matt cares about his clients and will work hard but will exhaust all his means to do whatever he can in the best interest of his client to help them clear their name and get back on with their lives. I am truly satisfied and would recommend his firm to anyone without reservation. Thank you for turning a stressful situation into a pleasant experience.

Matt handled my insurance settlement due to an auto accident. He kept me thoroughly informed throughout the entire case. He continued to fight for what he and I had previously discussed and decided to be a fair settlement. He walked me through every step of the way and was genuinely concerned about my mental and physical well being. This concern is still expressed, even after the case, when we occasionally have correspondence. Matt is a great person and a diligent, knowledgeable lawyer.

I've had legal troubles in the past and have used several different attorneys, but now there's no question in my mind who I'll call the next time I find myself in a bind. From the day I hired him until the day I was acquitted Mr. Skillern handled my case in a professional and timely manner. There was never a time when I felt that my case was just another number. I would highly recommend Mr. Skillern to anyone needing aggressive legal representation in a criminal matter.

Matt is cool, calm, and collected. His straight forward approach was completely reassuring. Upon our first meeting, I was instantly at ease knowing that Matt would be handling my case. He was very thorough and informative. There was never a moment that I felt Matt was not fully on my side. I had a slightly unique case and we looked at all alternatives, and where someone else may have taken a plea bargain, Matt's supreme knowledge of the facets of the law with regards to DWI's enabled him to get my case dismissed. I am so grateful to him. He has my complete support, I would recommend him to anyone who wants a phenomenal attorney on their side.
