God Sent!!

Let me start off by saying there are not enough positive adjectives to describe Matt Skipper and his team. I was the unfortunate recipient of an HOA organization that took FULL advantage of the residents because they could. It was an absolute abuse of power to say the least. However, in spit...e of the years of attempted torment, I was blessed to come across Matt Skipper. Although at that point I had PTSD from dealing with Lawyers, I left his office feeling like I had a chance to right the wrongs that had been done not only to me but others. Firm was communicative, explained things clearly in my opinion, KIND & EMPATHETIC, I never felt like I was bothering them & best of all I felt like they were on my side! !! What an awesome feeling! I hope I neverrr have to go through this again but if I do, I’m calling Matt Skipper. I’ve also sent a handful of potential clients his way. A big thanks to Matt & his team. May god bless you & I pray for continued health, wealth & success!

Matthew Skipper was recommended by my daughter. My family and I were being deprived of necessary access to our property that the condo association had no legal right to deprive us of. Matthew and his partner, Jeff Kahntroff, took the case based upon the association's violation of the law and our ve...ry difficult situation. Both of these gentleman were clear about their position and our rights. They carefully listened to our concerns and freely displayed empathy as problems cropped up as we moved forward. At every point they worked on our behalf to get resolution to the problem often without being asked to do so. Their talent and expertise were responsible for the excellent resolution of our situation, which was more than we could have hoped for. My entire family is grateful to them for their dedication, efficiency, knowledge, skill and most importantly, their remarkable kindness.

Excellent Service

Matthew Skipper and his team are fabulous. I was in a car accident and this law firm took great care of me. Not only were they looking out after my claim but for me personally as I had a loss in the family shortly after the accident that had nothing to do with my accident. They were compassionate to ...my personal needs. That speaks volumes when you feel like you are more than just a dollar to the firm. 20 years ago I was in an accident and went to one of those “commercial” law firms you see all day on TV. I was a dollar to them. I never spoke to the attorney but some paralegal or receptionist. I didn’t get nearly as much in settlement, I guess because so many people run through the larger firm I was just that, “Dollars” to them. I spoke to Matt on several occasions and if not speaking over the phone we emailed. He always responded within 24 hours of my email, again very important. Don’t go to the commercial lawyer if you really want someone to care about you and not just the money. Skipper Law cares about more than the dollar, they care about you and making you whole.

Malicious Prosecution and Defamation

Mr. Skipper represented me in civil and criminal harassment charge on very short notice but succeeded in having the District Court and District Attorney dismiss the charges for lack of evidence. We then filed a counter suit for malicious prosecution and defamation to recover costs and damages. The de...fendant was represented by two law firms but Mr. Skipper and his excellent team assembled and presented a factual, convincing case over a four day trial that resulted in the Jury convicting the decedent on both counts.

Skipper Law heaven sent!!

I was held finically hostage by my Condo association’s layers for over 10 years. I have been told by my, Condo associations Lawyer’s that they will place a lean on my mortgage. Unless I send them $10,000. Which I would send them the money from my retirement fund. Then they would ask me for addition...al funds (One 1 week later) in the amount of $1200.00 and “We need this amount within ten (10) business days. If you do not have the money, we will put you on another payment plan” etc. There was no way, of ever catching up. Another time I was told to send them $6,000. And I had been sending them $300. Every month. My first layer (From another law firm) was not at all aggressive. However Mr. Matthew Skipper, has been heaven sent. I am a grown man, and I was moved to tears. Skipper Law team cares a lot and they deliver. I was taken advantage by the HOA’s Lawyers and I was more then caught up. I am so thankful, that my prayers have been answered.
