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.

Mr. Skier is a true professional. When I came to speak with him, I had already spoken with several other local attorneys. His straight forward approach was a breath of fresh air. He quickly mapped out our strategy and proceeded to get the best possible outcome for me. My charges were dismissed an...d I didn't even have to go to the courthouse. Scott Skier is the best in my book!

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.... Scott got me a bond on a VOP, an extremely difficult feat. A few years later, Scott was able to arrange modifying my probation 4 separate times, including getting me off DOC community control, terminating my DUI probation early and successfully, and terminating my DOC probation successful as well as avoiding a 5th VOP. Scott is more than a lawyer. He is a friend.

I retained Mr. Skier for my False Imprisonment and Assault case. When I personally met Mr. Skier at our first consultation within the first 15 minutes I knew he was the lawyer for me. I hired Mr. Skier based on his great Criminal Case history. When I left his office I felt very much at ease as I... knew I had made the right choice in selecting him. He is very knowledgeable of how the judicial system works. There was never a time when I would call him that he was ever too busy to talk to me and answer any questions I had. The night before my case went to trial he called me and we talked at great length on what I could expect the next day in court. The next day the trial went just as Scott had prepared me for. After 20 minutes of deliberation the jury came back with an Acquittal of all charges. If you are looking for an honest, caring and dedicated lawyer then Scott Skier is the one for you. The cost of his service we had agreed upon in the very beginning was what I paid, no more and no less. He had no extra or hidden fees. Scott Skier is like no other lawyer that I have ever dealt with before. I highly recommend Mr. Scott Skier or Scott as he liked to be called.
