Very Good Impressive Lawyer, Knows What He Is Doing

My experience with Scott as my lawyer went really good & I recommend him to anyone who needs great quality help, he replys to every call or text, he doesn't give you the run around and he willing to make sure you get the best outcome of your case.. all I can say is this is your guy!

Confidence Is Earned With More Than Just Words

Our daughter made some very poor choices and got involved with drugs. She went to Florida to address those issues, but like so many individuals struggling to get healthy, she relapsed and made mistakes that got her in trouble with the law. Enter Scott, who we hired based on 2 phone interviews, as m...y wife and I live in the NY tri-state area. Based on those conversations we were convinced that Scott had the right credentials and experience to help us with the most difficult situation we ever faced. However, words alone don't create confidence, they are the foundational start of a process to build confidence. Scott took the time to get to know our daughter and did a very good job of keeping my wife and I informed. Scott did an excellent job of keeping us informed, developing a strategy, laying out options and presenting alternatives as things changed and evolved as I guess they always do when dealing with the criminal system. Scott was able to bring our daughter's case to a satisfactory conclusion and what my wife and I feel was the absolute best outcome we could have hoped for. So, yes I recommend Scott (my wife wrote a separate review as she is more eloquent then me) but I also wanted the public to see my own words . . . Mr. Scott Skier is an extremely competent, professional, personable and results-oriented attorney that I would recommend to anyone. And yes, our daughter is back on the road to recovery, with Scott playing a critical role in helping her finally see the light.

The WIZARD of criminal defense

I don't know where to start or what to call this man, Mr. Skier is the real MVP the Wizard of all defense attorney. Couple of months a go I got arrested the charges were serious and the punishment would have be very serious. After Severals weeks looking into getting a lawyer on the case I came across... The Skier Law Firm. After reading some of the reviews from previous clients, I felt compelled and confident that this man was the right man for the job, boy did I make the right choice. Within weeks before my 1st court appearance Mr. Skier asked me to come in so we could talk, as I’m sitting there going through the legal aspect and the process or whatnot. Mr.Skier told me (paraphrasing here) We may not even have to go to court, There’s a big chance of getting a no file on this case. That was a BIG relief, we talked about how to proceed and get the ball rolling. Within a few days before my court date we talked several times and in less than 24hours before the court date the man call me kept his word and delivered the good news. “NO FILE”. The staffs is amazing, the professionalism is remarkable, the overall experience of dealing with the Skier Law Firm was 1st Class all around. CALL SKIER!!!

Excellent Attorney

Scott is a very knowledgeable defense attorney. Unlike most attorneys that I've dealt with in the past, he always kept me informed with each phase of my case. Charged with assault and facing a lengthy time in jail, Scott got my charges were dismissed. Thanks Scott!!

Hiring the right Attorney will make or break you, choose wisely!

When you say, "I would trust so and so with my life..." one thinks of a really impressive person; my husband and I trusted Scott Skier with our daughter's life. If you're a parent, you know how overwhelming this decision can be. If you're in legal trouble, you know how critical this decision is. ...We are not the kind of people that have an attorney "on retainer" and we are 1200 miles away from the situation our daughter got herself into. She was arrested on felony charges and faced jail time as a result of a dual diagnosis addiction and the poor decision making that comes along with that. Scott was generous yet expedient with his time on the phone and in person. He went to see our daughter early on a Saturday morning after our first conversation Friday evening. He was sensitive to the fact that we didn't want to enable her but let us know when it was time to bail her out because her safety was becoming an issue. When we came to Florida to bail her out, he called a meeting with us on a Saturday (who does these things?) because we couldn't be available during the week. Scott explained legal issues clearly, mapped out a strategy and when things changed, he communicated quickly and concisely. This case took some surprise turns more than once even though it was our daughter's first offense. Scott obtained the kind of outcome from the court that was wise for our daughter; a transfer to drug court, and will clean the slate for her in the end. Scott's work wasn't through at the courtroom. Administrative/Judicial issues befell my daughter at drug court and Scott intervened further. The situation would have unraveled badly without his ability to work successfully with the courts. Scott Skier is the kind of attorney you can trust implicitly to do the best for his client with expertise, integrity, energy, composure and perseverance. There was not a second in this 6 month "trial" that we doubted Scott, we had every confidence in his ability. It does not cease to impress us that Scott was able to balance being a very talented attorney who knows when to be an aggressive defender with the kind of sensitivity to understand the needs of a successful recovery story. We chose wisely and our daughter has a chance to live successfully.
