Excellent Attorney - Wealth of Knowledge & Experience - Highly Respected - Excellent Results

I am extremely pleased with the experience I had working with Mr. Skey and the support staff at his Firm. The individuals that I dealt with were always professional, courteous and respectful, as was Mr. Skey. I have dealt with many attorneys over the years and only a few of them have left me with t...he positive impression and high level of respect that I now have for Mr. Skey. Mr. Skey worked closely with me on a regular basis dialoging on all aspects of the case and encouraging my input. He always provided thorough, understandable explanations to my questions or concerns and he made it easy to discuss any issue. His approach challenged me on various aspects of the case in order to prepare me for potential outcomes, both good and bad. He focused not only on the legal basis of my case, but also the practical aspects of a resolution that he felt the courts would support. Throughout the entire process, he always provided timely responses to my calls and e-mails. In court, I observed first hand that Mr. Skey's wealth of knowledge and depth of experience was highly respected and inured to my overall benefit. Ultimately, his understanding of the law and his instincts were correct. I believe what he presented on my behalf was viewed as right on point and I am pleased with the overall result. I have already recommended Mr. Skey and will continue to do so without hesitation.

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.
