Absolutely hire Frank when you need an attorney

Frank is a brilliant and extremely knowledgable attorney. He will explain everything you will need to know during every step of the legal process. Frank brought two things to the table that made all the difference in the world. His knowledge of family law is without question, and he can explain th...e process in basic terms that anyone can understand. Furthermore, Frank handled the legal process so precise that I could have peace of mind without all the worry and stress associated with any legal process. Frank helped me with an extremely delicate and difficult case, and if it wasn't for Frank, I am completely sure that I would not have done so well in court. Frank tried every which way to get my case settled out of court even with an extremely difficult respondent. The case had to go to trial. Frank completely surprised me in court. He is an extremely excellent trial lawyer that kept the trial on track and made all the difference. Frank helped me win multiple judgments. For anyone reading this review, before you decide to hire some other attorney, consult with Frank, give him a chance to explain what he will do for your case. I received the best representation that I could have asked for.

Amazing!

Had a child custody/support case that he helped me out with. I was a nervous wreck from day one, but he simply put all my fears at ease. He explained what to expect in great detail and walked me through everything so I understood the possibilities. Hiring him was the best choice I made and everything... went in my favor thanks to him!

Best of the Best! Brilliant Family Law Attorney

I honestly don't even know where to begin! I retained Frank P. Skipper for a complex divorce case where no children were involved. I had previously retained another Attorney to begin this process, back in 2013, and he just wasn't cutting it. Then I met Frank. I knew the minute I met him that he w...as the Attorney I wanted on my side. He is honest, fair, and is an all around amazing human being, friend, and Attorney. He knows Family Law forward, backward and then some. I was scared to death, he took me under his wing and guided me every step of the way, which was and is very comforting. Frank is extremely professional, ethical, and has a keen ear, a huge heart, and truly looks out for his clients best interests. He is very attentive, listens to what you are saying and comes up with a plan of action to get you the results you want. He is very well respected by his peers and his clients, something you don't always find in an attorney. I have and will continue to recommend Frank for anyone I know going through one of the most stressful times in their life. Frank (Skip) saved me, and I will be grateful for him and his expertise for the rest of my life. From day one, he had my back and began taking care of my case. I will never use another attorney, unless it's Frank P. Skipper! If you are going through any situation that requires an attorney (that, in my opinion should be ranked as the number one Family Law Attorney in Tarrant County, Texas) look no further! Frank is the the BEST! Call him, you will be glad you did! I know I certainly am! #Ilovemyattorneyandsowillyou!

Amazing

Skipper is amazing. I had a very nasty divorce with many false accusations made by my ex wife. He walked me through every step and kept me informed. Was amazing in court and was very well prepared. Not just an attorney but a true friend. His experience and professionalism is second to none. Doesn't s...ugarcoat what's going to happen, he is a straight shooter. If you need an attorney to represent you and want one that is honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and fair; give Frank Skipper a call. You won't be sorry.

Excellent representation and knowledge

Frank Skipper has been helping me with both personal and business legal items for over two years. I first retained him to help in a custody and divorce issue which he resolved successfully. He laid out a plan to help me gain 50% custody of my children and then resolve my divorce with mediation. He... was patient, knowledgeable and an expert negotiater. He was always thinking ahead of the other side and making contingency plans. He also has been successful in collecting past due accounts and representing my company in a professional manner in business matters. I do not hesitate to turn over new unresolved issues to him with full confidence.
