He has good advice.

He was honest and upfront about almost everything.i know the dates are outrageous. They are the truth. He advised me to get an attorney NOW. I can't and my husband knows it. Im to say it politely SCREWED.

Kind, understanding and knowledgeable

Me. Skey had responded to my question on Avo with a detailed informative response. I had a further question and reached out to Mr. Skey did not divert me to anyone else in his office but listened to my concerns and gave me the best advice he could. I appreciate his time and would recommend him.

Honest, Ethical and Competent! Gerry will fight for you!

Without reservations, I highly recommend Wilfred “Gerry” Skey to anyone who needs an exceedingly competent, ETHICAL, hardworking and compassionate attorney to handle their divorce or family matter. I am tremendously fortunate to have had Gerry Skey and his wonderful, caring staff on my side during my... “high conflict” divorce. Gerry is straight forward and honest. He is ALWAYS available to give me advice and guidance, even if sometimes I don’t want to hear the answer. Gerry’s sound advice makes clear the realities of what can happen while going through this emotional and difficult process. As such, I was well prepared and understood each step in the process. Through Gerry's tireless efforts, my situation has been resolved in a very satisfactory manner for me and my children. I trust Gerry and his staff and continue to use him as a source of advice and counsel.

Difficult times need a truly competent compassionate attorney

Without any reservation, I would recommend Mr. Skey to any person wishing to keep their sanity intact during a chaotic time. He and his staff are knowledgeable and compassionate and always able to answer questions and provide guidance through a complicated process. Mr. Skey is well informed, profes...sional, articulate and patient to an incredible degree. All questions are answered quickly and in-depth, providing explanations that detail the pros and cons of any situation as well as what can be expected from a judge. I found him to work tirelessly on my behalf and he was very compassionate and empathetic at all times. I do not believe anyone would find him to be less than an excellent attorney and I feel most fortunate to have found him and his staff.

With age comes WISDOM and experience is what life teaches you over the time.

I have been illegally removed from my legal residence by my wife. I have medical condition and was thrown on streets without any money and support. She summoned me with restraint order and tried to completely destroy my credentials. Enters the WISE Wilfred and within minutes he guides me that everyt...hing that has been done is absolutely illegal and sent me home assured and confident.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
