Excellent Representation

The Skier Law Firm performed exactly as promised. In just a few minutes, I knew I wanted Scott to represent me. His powerful intellect and commanding presence made me absolutely trust him immediately. He is a man of his word. He actually went above and beyond his promises for me. As my case prog...ressed I interacted with the other members of the team. Shaun knows the law inside out and he can explain what is happening in a way I could understand. He always had that extra minute to answer a question and he got every detail of my case flawlessly. Chelle is super efficient and reliable, they all are. They are so busy I really don't know how they do it.

Dedicated, hawk-like, a true advocate for his client

Scott explained my options thoroughly. He reviewed the facts of my case and was overwhelmingly supportive of my innocence. His service was comprehensive and his dedication, follow-through and advocacy gave me immediate and lasting confidence. When he told me he was able to negotiate a reduced senten...ce and that such a deal was a major "win" for me, I replied that it would be a major "win" for someone who was guilty. I, on the other hand, was not guilty of any of the charges and ultimately decided not to accept a reduced charge, opting instead to force the matter to trial. His response was that he was my attorney and he respected my decision and would fight for me, even though it meant going to trial for the same flat fee we agreed upon from the beginning. As it turns out, the state attorney reviewed the facts of the case and decided that Fl State Trooper Campbell acted maliciously, without cause. The state dropped all charges without going to trial. Scott was there to support and defend me however it went. I am grateful for his candor and his dedication.

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!!!

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.

Very HONEST and REACHABLE!

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.
