Great Attorney

I hired Mike for my personal injury case. He was great! His communication was A+. Took the time to explain the process all the way across the board. Settlement was fast with NO hassle. I WILL recommend him to everyone and anyone.

"I endorse Attorney Skiber because he is my mentor. Mike is showing me the ins and outs of a private practice, which is an invaluable experience. I really admire Mike because he has never worked for anyone in the legal field as a lawyer. Mike is an independent-minded entrepreneur, giving him the understanding of the importance of quality customer service. He gives his clients updates throughout his/her case and prepares for each case as thorough as anyone can. He continuously gets personal injury client referrals from many other lawyers because they trust his abilities to maximize the value of each and every case. Attorney Skiber is a great lawyer, and I am happy to learn the practice of law from him."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As a colleague, I have had the pleasure to watch Attorney Skiber work for a number of years, from when he first came onto the scene to becomming the "seasoned veteran" he is today. From day one Mike decided that he would not let his clients be bullied - even if that meant taking the case all the way to a jury. In relatively short order, Attorney Skiber amassed an impressive trial record, which he has dovetailed into a highly successful "personal injury" aspect to his booming practice. Mike is an excellent lawyer and, more importantly a good man. Those who have chosen Michael Skiber for a lawyer have surely done very well for themselves."
