Got Me Through the Toughest Time of my Life

Me. Skey always answered all of my questions that I had and always made sure that I felt at ease with every concern that I had. He looked out for my best interest and always gave me solid and honest advice and guided me through my divorce. I believe he went above and beyond to resolve my divorce as I... dealt with a very stubborn ex wife and an equally stubborn and malicious lawyer that my ex wife hired. He was tough on them when they tried to lie and manipulate the facts. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. They were always there as well when I needed them. His secretary is very pleasant and always made me feel at home on the phone and when I'd visit the office. I highly recommend Skey Law and Gerry as an attorney.

Very impressed with level of service and genuine communication – Highly recommended

I am very satisfied with the experience I had working with Gerry and his office staff since January of 2016. Navigating through a divorce is no easy task and I feel grateful to have found an Attorney with such a wealth of expertise as well as a high level of compassion. From the first consultation ...I could see how genuine and caring Gerry was and interested in my case and what I wanted and needed from the marriage. Emails and phone calls were always returned promptly and I was kept consistently up to date with how my case was progressing. As someone who is not versed on the law and process of divorce, Gerry walked me through each step and was always willing to explain fully each step of the process and answer any questions I had. I have no complaints with my experience, as a matter a fact I cannot imagine a divorce attorney that could be both caring and skilled as much as Gerry and feel very lucky to have found him to assist me with my divorce. His approach has been very logical and straightforward, and also always open to consider my needs and suggestions when making decisions relating to my case. In court, I could clearly see Gerry’s high level of professionalism and wealth of knowledge of the law which ultimately resulted in an excellent outcome for my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Gerry to any of my close friends and family.

wilfred s skey

extremely knowledgeable kept me informed every step of the way and really took care of my best interest as if I was one of his children or siblings. He was persistent when he had to deal with an unresponsive opposing attorney

A Pillar of Strength

Highly recommend! Choose him! He is a very effective attorney who will work hard to get the best possible deal, represent you, negotiate for your best interests, and make sure the assignment or task gets finished. Gerry answers questions easily, quickly, and clearly drawing from his vast worldwide... experience. Knowledgeable, smart, and likeable, he is empathetic and accessible for advice at all times. Nice gentleman, very wise and educated in the ways of the court and laws, human nature, and the legal system. He is responsive and was personally referred to me by several friends. He also cares a lot about children and stays strong for women or anyone who needs a strong yet sensitive lawyer. Gerry is a pillar of strength.
