also known as I. Scott Skier
I am a native of West Palm Beach. Growing up the son of a Palm Beach County Judicial Assistant to the Honorable James Stewart and the Honorable Fred Hazouri, I was immersed in the Palm Beach County court culture from a very early age. I am a recipient of the prestigious International Baccalaureate diploma, which I earned at Suncoast Community High School in Riveria Beach, Florida.
Following graduation from Suncoast, I attended the University of Florida where I graduated with Honors in 1997. I was admitted to the University of Maryland School of Law in 1999 and I graduated in 2002. Following graduation, I returned to Palm Beach County and became an Assistant Public Defender. As an Assistant Public Defender, I proudly represented indigent clients and used my years as a PD to hone my Trial skills and develop strong relationships with both the presiding Judges and the Assistant State Attorneys.
In 2006, I opened The Skier Law Firm, P.A., where I currently practice, representing clients in all criminal matters both State and Federal.

Literally a life saver
Finding a competent, trustworthy lawyer is a daunting and difficult process under any circumstances, and in Florida (especially after some exposure to the legal system around here) I assumed it would be a near impossibility. Mr. Skier completely changed my perspective. I was facing felony charges f...

Beyond our Expectation

He clearly explained each step in the legal process that needed to be taken. He was always professional, yet fle...
"I have had the pleasure of working in the same legal community as Scott for nearly a decade. When I was first starting out as a young lawyer, Scott was a great teaching resource for me and others. Through the years he has done remarkable work for his clients - including First Degree Murder charges dropped against one client and a jury verdict of Not Guilty for another client accused of Murder. There is a reason that Scott has such a loyal client base."
"Mr. Skier is one of the finest trial attorneys in South Florida. He is a zealous advocate who is able to get excellent results for his clients. He is equally skilled at arguing a case to a jury or negotiating with prosecutors. I endorse this lawyer."

"Scott is a great colleague. He keeps his clients informed of every aspect of the case. Scott is simply the most competent criminal attorney in Palm Beach County, irrespective of the charge. Hire him if you have been arrested in south Florida."
"I have litigated matters on behalf of the Government and Scott is an excellent lawyer. He zealously fights for his client's rights even though it may not be "politically correct." He is trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone fighting "City Hall.""
"I highly recommend Mr. Skier for any person charged with a crime. He is well known for obtaining excellent results for his clients. He goes beyond the call of duty. All clients who I have referred to him have been extremely pleased with his service and his results."

"Scott is a passionate and dedicated criminal defense attorney. He is devoted to his clients. He goes above and beyond to obtain the most favorable outcome possible for clients through plea negotiations or a trial. Because he is such a skilled trial attorney, the state attorney will often concede to his requests. I highly recommend Scott Skier for any criminal law issue."
"Mr. Skier is diligent in his representation of clients. He is well respected in State and Federal Courts in Florida by both colleagues and judges who preside over his cases. If you need a criminal attorney for any matter including but not limited white collar crimes, Scott is my first choice."
