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.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Skey was recommended to me by a mutual friend. I cannot thank my friend enough. From the moment I had my consultation with Mr. Skey, I was immediately at ease. Not only did he listen, he gave sound advice and time to my issue. Answered emails and questions quickly and I have never had to wait... for my appointment time. He is professional and willing to explain all sides of the law. I have already given his name to several acquaintances and coworkers. I am so happy to be able to share this review.
