Trusted Attorney

Attorney Skier and his colleague Melissa Campbell have handled several divorce matters for me. They have been accessible, fair, compassionate, bold, and honest. I will continue to retain them for legal representation and appreciate that they are always ready to fight for me.

Pardon

I hired Mr. Skier to handle my pardon case. I could not be more pleased with his compassion and his genuine caring attitude. The level of preparation he showed up with was second to none. He also did a great job preparing me for what was going to happen and how to handle myself. After Mr. Skier spoke... briefly to the board they granted me a full pardon. If you need an attorney. I highly recommend Andrew Skier. He is an expert in his field and he is well worth it and genuinely a good and caring person.

Highly Recommend

My family hired Mr. Skier to represent my son in his Pardon case. He told us up front what to expect. He let us know it would be a lengthy process and always gave us realistic expectations. He and his legal assistant Tracy always had time to answer any questions that we had any time that we called th...eir office. I highly recommend Mr. Skier as your attorney. He is not only knowledgeable in his field, he is also kind and genuine.

Pardon

I did quite a bit of research to find out which attorney I should hire to file for a pardon. Mr. Skier was upfront with me that it can be a long process. He filed the necessary paperwork and then stayed in touch with me providing a status as he had one. He called as soon as he found out my case wa...s scheduled to be heard by the Pardon board and arranged for us to meet with him the day before the hearing. At the meeting he explained to us exactly what was going to happen at the hearing and answered all of our questions. The hearing went exactly as he described it and he successfully obtained the pardon for me. I absolutely highly recommend Andrew Skier to anyone seeking to obtain a pardon.

Pardon attorney extraordinaire

I did quiet a lot of research before hiring Mr. Skier for a pardon case but all of my inquires pointed to Andrew. It was a very long process but I can assure anyone looking for a winning attorney with a great personality and true understanding of the process you can't go wrong with Mr. Skier. Not onl...y did he not sugar coat anything he was a straight shooter of what to expect and in the end not only was I pardoned but my family was relieved from my burden as well and or lives have been forever changed. I am working on securing him to represent my brother and would highly recommend him for you needs.
