"Outstanding Legal Support When Time Was Running Out"

I found Anthony Skemp through his outstanding online reviews, and I can now confidently say those reviews were spot on. I contacted him less than two months before the statute of limitations on my auto accident claim was set to expire, and despite the tight timeframe, he didn’t hesitate to get involv...ed. Throughout the process, he was incredibly responsive—answering my questions promptly and thoroughly. What stood out most was how clearly he explained every step, making sure I understood both the legal process and my options. He has a unique approach of arming his clients with the good, the bad, and the ugly so they can make truly informed decisions. That level of honesty and transparency gave me a great deal of confidence and peace of mind during a stressful time. I genuinely appreciate his professionalism, dedication, and integrity. I highly recommend Anthony Skemp to anyone seeking a capable and trustworthy personal injury attorney.

Car Accident

I hired Atty Anthony Skemp after I was injured and still in treatment for the painful injury caused by another driver who slammed into the back of my car as I was waiting in line at a drop off point during the era of the Covid Pandemic. Those times have been hard for many reasons and while I was st...ill in treatment the other drivers insurance company was trying all kinds of tactics to force me into signing off on the claim. I immediately hired Atty Skemp. I was in pain and physically limited from the injury. I did not have the energy nor the knowledge of how to stick up for my needs and how to proceed with the tactics from the adjuster with the other drivers insurance company. Right from my first contact and working with Atty Anthony Skemp I had such “peace of mind” and knew that the issues with getting the medical bills covered and my rights would be protected. So much paperwork to gather, fill out and put in order was mind boggling to me. He took care of all of it and made sure the bills were paid. In the finalizing of the case he was even able to reduce reimbursements in the final settlement during mediation without needing to go into court. He had such integrity, always kept me in the loop, and was so fierce in negotiating on my behalf and showed me kindness when I was feeling quite distressed from the entire ordeal. I always felt I was in good hands with him and his staff and they handled so much of the process so I could concentrate on my needs to work towards healing to the best I could. I had also referred close friends who had been in a life threatening injury from a vehicle accident (not their fault). Attny Skemp stood right by their side the whole way and made sure in obtaining the settlement on their behalf that their needs were provided for in the present and also into their future. Without hesitation I recommend Atty Anthony Skemp. I found that he is honest, he doesn’t spin any stories and always presents the accurate facts. In return he expected the same from me and also kept me on track when I was starting to loose my focus. I am grateful that he was on my team and was quite a fighter on my behalf. I did observe in the various proceedings that he is well respected by his peers. He was able to negotiate on my behalf much more than I had imagined.

Car Accident

My close friend recommended Mr Tony, after I got in a car accident back in 2021. He’s straightforward, and won’t cut any corners. He made everything clear as possible for me to understand the process. I was about to embark on, I was so stressed after the accident, I couldn’t function. I had to reach ...out to him, and his meet multiple times, to help calm me down and that they did. Mr Tony I could’ve asked you for anything more than you did for me and my girls. I’m more than grateful to you and your team for working with me through my meltdowns and frustration. You won’t regret your decision choosing Mr Tony as your Lawyer. Thanks again to you and your team. Best wishes to you and yours. Happy Holidays.

Awesome attorney!

Anthony took on my car accident case after a few years of stalled negotiations with the insurance company. He and his assistant Jennifer were very helpful and made sure I understood what was going on with my case. And I’m just a relatively short amount of time Anthony was able to get the insurance co...mpany to the negotiation table and got me a fair settlement. I cannot thank him and Jennifer enough for all their hard work. I would recommend him to anyone right away.

Vindicated!

When I first met Anthony after my car accident I had no idea this would end up going to a jury trial and it was probably good that I didnt. There were many times that I wanted to throw in the towel during the process especially as the trial got closer. Tony would give me a pep talk and say “we’ve co...me this far... we are knocking on the door... you can do this”. Day 1 of court arrived, not going to lie, I was scared to death. He kept telling me “just tell your story”. Then when I finally got to watch him during court in the full capacity of MY attorney I can describe it no other way than that of a mother watching her child at a sporting event. I wanted to yell, “that’s my boy!” He fought for me. He put countless hours into me and my case. He stood shoulder to shoulder with me and righted the wrong. He stood up there and vindicated me. He made the jury see me as a truth teller not a liar like the opposing attorney kept trying to do. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney for matters like these (and I hope you never do) I highly highly recommend Tony and his entire staff. I can’t promise it will be easy... but I can promise Tony will get you through it.
