Committed

I feel Gerry (and his team) was very committed to my custody case, and helped me reach the best achievable outcome -- one that will be very important for my kids -- though the opposition was often unscrupulous and, at times, a little bit nuts. He was very knowledgeable and communicated well, making s...ure that I was kept abreast of any relevant occurrences in my case, and listening to my issues/grievances with my ex that were relevant to the case.

Gerry (Wilfred S Skey) -- excellence and integrity!

I consulted many attorneys in the area prior to retaining Gerry. When I met him I was insistently at ease and comfortable… Highly intelligent, with the essential knowledge and interpersonal skills of a consummate professional, I found him to be immediately perceptive and understanding of the situatio...n. With his experience, He always thinks like a Judge and predicts the outcome (and he is right!!) when dealing with a situation and explains the pros and cons of it. He helped me establish realistic and honorable expectations; taking into account not only what I desired but what was best for my child. He kept me honest when dealing with his adversary… a streak of integrity which is rare today. His support staff (Sandy and Sarah) was great too. They are always available and made me feel home. By the time my divorce was settled, I really felt like he was my well-wisher, a friend and not just my lawyer! I would highly recommend Gerry to anyone who needs a representation in family court.

Trustworthy, Professional, Compassionate & Ethical

Gerry has represented me in a complicated and emotional divorce which has spanned over a decade. He has provided me with the highest level of legal expertise in a compassionate and honest manner. He has stood by representing me in a very trying situation even after I relocated from Mercer County to M...orris County. He made sure he stayed through to the end even when a court appearance meant a three hour drive. He understood the emotional strain this situation took on everyone and was sure to represent each situation which arose in a logical comprehendible manner. Not only did Gerry work with me to provide the best outcome for myself and my three children, he maintained a sense of normalcy during an often out of control time. I highly recommend Mr. Skey!

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.
