About Kris
Biography
My name is Kris Skaar, and I am one of the founding attorneys of Skaar & Feagle, LLP. Our firm is committed to finding ways to help people deal with consumer protection issues in a way that delivers good value to our clients. My partners and I have over sixty years of combined experience providing counsel in the following areas:
● abusive and unlawful collection activity,
● unauthorized robo-calls to cellular telephones,
● debt defense,
● credit reporting of false or out-of-date information,
● high interest lenders, and
● debt management plans
At Skaar & Feagle, LLP, we realize that many of our clients are already struggling to make ends meet. Therefore, we offer telephone consultations at no cost to the consumer. When appropriate, we also offer a limited document review (by scan/email or by fax) to determine if we can help. Our firm will NEVER charge a consumer any amount to try to determine if we can help.
Additionally, in most cases involving the FDCPA, FCRA or other affirmative consumer claims, Skaar & Feagle, LLP is compensated by "fee shifting" - which means that the other side is fully responsible for paying the legal fees. In these cases, the consumer does not have to pay anything out of their pocket. In a defense case (where the other side started the case against the consumer), we generally will quote a flat fee for our services in the entire case through settlement or judgment. Often we can accommodate clients with reasonable payment plans.

EMBODIMENT OF PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING
Mr. Skaar was very understanding and patient with me while trying to explain my case. I was very panicky and unable to understand a lot of what he was saying at first, he took the time to repeat things, put them in layman terms and made sure I really understood what was going on. Not once was he at a...

Incredibly Gracious and Informative
I called in looking for help with my debt collections issues. I wasn't sure if I needed to retain an attorney or not or even how I should proceed as the particulars of my case were somewhat nuanced. Kris took a half-hour out of his day without any compensation to go over my case and advise me in deta...

Objective and Knowledgeable!
Mr. Skaar kept an objective perspective and looked at it from the perspective of Law. Gave great insight into the complex field of Rental Laws. If this does happen to be taken to small claims court I will most certainly be giving him a ring.
