Christopher Alton Skipper

Chris Skipper's support was critical in our dealing with a multiple-charges situation that our son was unexpectedly embroiled in, beginning at a very human level of counseling for our son's immediate next steps (including personal comportment), to lifting a travel ban, all the way to representation... in court (we did not have to appear). The worst charges were dismissed and all charges expunged. Intensely knowledgeable and well-connected, fully available, personable but also pragmatic, and truly caring.

Chris was referred to me by my own attorney in my home state of PA after doing some research to find the best representation when my daughter, a College of Charleston freshman, found herself in trouble with the law. Chris was not only incredibly quick to get back to us but he went above and beyond to... make sure my daughter felt supported and informed of her options as well as kept me in the loop every step of the way, as my daughter had agreed to. Chris not only protected my daughter, he was kind enough to refer me to several other local attorneys he works with to pass along to her friends parents making sure they all received appropriate representation. Chris did not take the expeditious or easy route, he went the extra mile. He represented my daughter at her CofC hearing for violating the code of conduct handbook with great success and negotiated with the DA having all charges dismissed against all of the students keeping them out of the City of Charleston legal system . Chris then followed up to let me know he filed the paperwork to have my daughter's record expunged. Chris made this scary process much easier with his kind demeanor and his years of experience in these types of matters. If you have a child in legal trouble in Charleston or the surrounding area I would look no further, Chris is you guy!

Chris Skipper was the absolute best attorney we could have hired to help our intellectually disabled son defend and ultimately expunge a minor in possession he received. Chris gave us the individual attention we needed given our unique set of circumstances each and every step of the way. He got to ...know us and our son and treated us with dignity and respect--our case was not cookie cutter and Chris is not a cookie cutter attorney. He was 100% attentive and available to us. We could not have asked for a better attorney and are forever grateful for his individualized, professional and top notch assistance. Chris knows his way around the legal community in Charelston and was so incredibly nice to deal with--we cannot sing his praises sound enough!

There are good attorneys, and compassionate attorneys; but very few good, compassionate attorneys. Mr. Skipper is the latter, and a consummate professional. With a child of ours attending a university in Charleston, he guided us through a relatively minor infraction, which could have escalated int...o a life-altering issue had it not been handled properly. Our child was detained for a second time with a fake ID, and without Mr. Skipper's assistance that child might not have been able to enter a process that eventually led to her record being completely expunged. He was appropriately stern with our child, but respectful, much like we would have treated our child as parents. We would wholeheartedly recommend his counsel.
