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.

The absolute best.
I first hired Scott in 2008. I had a very complicated case where due to the scoring system I was facing a lengthy prison term and was on my 2nd VOP with a new charge. With Scott's guidance, patience and outstanding court presence I avoided going to prison and was able to have my probation reinstated....

"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.

There is a reason that Scott has such a loyal client base."
