He is a fraud

He was not responsive. He ask for reviews prior and hassle for reviews. He will take all you have. He is a liar! Don’t hire John!

Posted by shelly | June 20, 2010 | Real Estate

It doesn't cost more to get the best

We needed a good real estate attorney and were referred to Mr. Skelton, and he did a great job for us on our refi. No games, no waiting, just good service and even the advice daddy might give you about not taking on too much debt. It doesn't cost any more to hire the best so why go with someone wi...thout all his experience and connections? thanks, Mr. Skelton!

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.
