Caitlin Barbee Thorpe

I cannot recommend this law firm highly enough. When I found myself facing a complex divorce while battling terminal cancer, I knew I needed exceptional legal representation that could handle both the intricacies of my case and the unique pressures of my health situation. After researching attorneys ...in the area, I chose to hire Caitlin Thorpe specifically because of her board certification and outstanding reputation for fierce client advocacy. From the very first consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. The level of attention to detail, thorough case analysis, and genuine care for my circumstances was immediately apparent. Caitlin and her team didn't just go through the motions. They were truly invested in achieving the best possible outcome for my family and me through strategizing with me and keeping me in the conversation 100% of the time. When Caitlin went on maternity leave, Robby Wendel seamlessly stepped in to ensure continuity of representation without missing a beat. The transition was flawless, and I never felt like my case was being neglected or that I had to start over explaining my situation. Throughout the entire process, paralegal Sanaa Hazratjee provided exceptional support that made all the difference in managing my case effectively. Her attention to detail and proactive communication kept everything on track. What impressed me most was the firm's ability to handle my particularly difficult co-parenting situation with my ex-wife. They expertly navigated every challenge and recognized when specialized intervention was needed, successfully coordinating with an amicus attorney to protect both my interests and those of my children. They transformed what could have been an overwhelming legal maze into a manageable process, always keeping my health limitations and family priorities at the forefront of their strategy. Like so many previous clients have noted, this firm goes above and beyond standard legal representation. They don't just handle your case. They become your advocates, your guides, and your support system during life's most difficult transitions. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion make them truly exceptional in their field. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing complex family law matters.

Caitlin was my divorce attorney after a 28 year marriage. She understood my unique personal situation and worked closely with me as a partner and her team to bring my divorce to a close. While the process was not easy, Caitlin was compassionate and listened to my concerns along the way and was very p...ragmatic in her recommendations on how to proceed.

I don’t usually write reviews, however it wouldn’t be fair not to write one for Ms. Thorpe! The case was already a year in when Caitlin took over from my previous attorney.. Even though the case was looking very bleak and not in my favor, she stepped in and took over with such ease and confidence th...at I felt hopeful. She was sincere, honest and upfront with me throughout the proceedings. When it was time for trial ( an unnecessary one - thanks to the opposing counsel), Caitlin was very organized and well prepared with her arguments and fought hard for me in the court room, all while giving me the confidence that we will succeed. She and her staff were efficient, knowledgeable and on top of things at all times. With the grace of God and Ms. Thorpe representing me, I got what I wanted and some:) I am glad I hired her!

I went to the Skillern firm based on the reviews I found online. I wanted a firm who understood the balance between work load and lawyer ability. I knew I wanted a group who would not fold me into a million other case to simply turn a buck. After visiting the firm I was pleased with the overhead ...and the honesty of Matt and Melissa. However, I'm not sure I was prepared for Caitlin. Direct, honest, attentive and invested only begins to describe Caitlin's. What is hard to describe is her 'natural' ability to see though issues and build a case. Together Melissa and Caitlin are an amazing team. They both helped me in more ways than just legally, working together they guided me to be a better co-parent all the while protecting me legally. In a sea of competitive firms looking to make money, Matt, Caitlin, Melissa and all the others at Skillern strive to make a difference, to stand above the other firms. I recommend this team with the highest of regard and respect. I will never again consider any other firm for Family law.

Caitlin handled our case with the utmost integrity. She called back in a timely manner. She pushed through the things that we wanted done which were not easy. She made this a painless experience. I can say I have hired other attorney's in the past and all they care about is the next form of payme...nt. I can tell you that this was not what the experience was with Caitlin. After the case was over we received a check for unused funds. Have you ever known an attorney to send you money back. I was completely blown away. Her and her staff were awesome and I highly recommend Caitlin and Skillern Law Firm.
