Family law recommendation - Skillern Firm

I recently went through a divorce and had the Skillern Firm represent me. The team of lawyers I worked with included Matt Skillern and Caitlin Thorpe. Both Matt and Caitlin did a great job of keeping my case on track and keeping me informed on all important details. The case was settled recently a...nd I am very happy with the results. I continue to stay in touch with Caitlin and am always treated with respect and as a valued client. Overall it has been a great experience working with the Skillern Firm and I would highly recommend Matt and Caitlin to anyone needing representation with a family law issue.

A professional in every sense

Mr. Skillern handled my divorce and I could not be happier how things were handled. Understanding, thorough, informative and completely honest. I did not have a particularly high opinion of lawyers in general but I must say if there is any truth to the perception Matthew and his office are the exce...ption. I always felt heard, I never felt shorted and it was never handled like a war. That is the way it should happen if at all possible. I appreciate everything he and his staff did to make a very stressful and painful time bearable. If you find yourself traveling down this road, a better guide you will never find. He's a credit to his profession. Thanks my friend.

Expert Representation

I needed legal representation for what I knew would be a very contentious divorce. From the beginning, Matt was very clear and thorough about what I was going to encounter. Matt's work immediately brought clarity to a very confusing and stressful situation. He did an excellent job of countering al...l moves brought on by the opposing attorney. Having Matt represent me gave me peace of mind, and brought a clear solution to a very complex situation.

Superp Representation

When I decided to file for custody of my son, I wanted to hire an attorney that was an expert in family law, cared about my case, and would be honest with me throughout the process. Matt exceeded my expectations. Matt cared about my personal circumstances and determined a course of action that pu...t me in a place of advantage in the proceedings. His familiarity with family law and Harris County proceedings provided valuable insights needed to make informed decisions. When we reached key timing deadlines or opportunities in the case, Matt worked evenings and weekends to seize outcomes that served my interest. Matt was never afraid to share his experience as it related to facets of my case and informed me of both positive and negative aspects of my decisions. With Matt’s representation, I was able to obtain custody of my Son. I am grateful Matt represented me and my Son in the most important and emotional cause of my life. I highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking the highest quality representation.
