Richard Steven Skelton

Mr Skelton represented me in years past and I would recommend him without question. Unlike the guy whose review prior to mine is almost nine years old and pled guilty to a child abuse charge my case(s) were a little older and a little newer. I have to ask why did you plead guilty if you were not guil...ty? With that said, you know the risk going to court or not when you hired counsel. You choose to plead out or go to trial, not the attorney.

I had a case in 2005 and I'm not sure if Mr. Skelton had too many cases or just doesn't care about the people he is representing, but I ended up serving 6 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit. I had never been In trouble and was made to feel if I didn't plead guilty I would have done 30+ year...s. I got scared and plead guilty anyways. I was away from my children and family for 6 years of their lives and can never get that back. I would never recommend Mr. Skelton to ANYONE! If you are going to be an attorney don't take on so many cases to where you just want to get through and on to your next one because you have to many.
