Highly efficient, seasoned, and professional

Frank handled my family law case with unexpected expertise and professionalism. From our initial phone conversation to our final case outcome, Frank was steadfast in his care for me, my family, and our financial future. I would highly recommend Mr. Skipper to anyone in need of an attorney who can hel...p you sort through the emotional and financial mess that comes with family law issues.

Heart-felt attorney

I hired Mr. Skipper when I wanted to modify my custody rights with my children's father. He has went above and beyond my expectations and has made me very happy with the outcome. Mr. Skipper is a heart-felt attorney who seeks in helping those by best interests. Thank you so much for everything you ha...ve done!

With gratitude

I hired Frank on recommendation to represent me and after a lengthy 22 months of off again-on again delay, part of which was brought on by my attempt to salvage my marriage, settlement was finally reached. Through the months, I found Frank to be appropriately aggressive and particularly thorough, th...e true nature of which was neither fully understood nor appreciated following the mediation. He is uniquely gifted and respected in the legal community from what I could ascertain and uniquely sensitive and understanding. These traits, and I say with all due respect, I fully believed beforehand to be largely atypical for the profession and therefore totally unexpected from Frank. Divorce is nasty and to quote Frank, you and your spouse will both be equally disappointed with the results. However, if legal counsel is not an option, I highly recommend Frank Skipper to you and do so without reservation. Thank you, Frank, for your work, your encouragement and your support during my time of need. Bless you, Sir.

WOW! Very Impressed!

WOW! Frank is amazing. He went above and beyond to get my divorce finalized. I knew from the moment I met him, he would get this done for me. He knew what needed to be done and worked with opposing counsel to get everything signed off on. This is something my previous lawyer had been working thr...ough for over 2 years. Mr. Skipper was able to get the documents signed off on in less than a month. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Family Law Lawyer! Thanks again for everything Frank. My children and I appreciate your assistance with closing Chapter One!
