Simply the Best

Matt Skillern was not just my divorce lawyer. He was my corner coach championing, guiding, nudging, helping me stay strong, stay focused, stay all in. Matt and Melissa operated with a positive mindset, leading me through the labyrinth of forms, court proceedings, more forms, gathering massive amoun...ts of necessary information—always moving forward, always providing insights and understanding along the way. Matt is honest and straightforward. No hidden costs. No surprise turns. The process was laid out clearly. The challenges he foresaw, the behaviors we encountered, the end he anticipated were carefully and caringly explained and achieved. You need a lawyer if you’re getting a divorce. You need to have someone who’s in your corner and by your side through the journey. You need the best. And that’s Matt.

The Best in Texas!!

Where do I start?? First of all I'm a dad, so in the beginning I went through 8 different lawyers before I chose Matthew to defend me, and let me tell you I don't regret a single moment of the process! The man knows his stuff! From day one he was honest and upfront about the system and best of all ...he didn't ROB me!! After our first consultation which lasted about 45 minutes I knew instantly he was the right man for the job! I genuinely recommend Matthew and his staff, especially for dad's. Thanks again Matthew and keep up the good work!!!

Trustworthy and excellent super lawyer

I believe Matt to be a very trustworthy and professional attorney. I hired Matt for my divorce matter. I previously had 2 other lawyers who were unable to make inroads regarding my case. I am a non-working mom with no income, with a signed prenup, and a disabled child. Financially I am very disadvant...aged, however, I value that Matt and his entire team was confident in accepting my case with my limited finances. He simplified many things for me so that the case may be finished as soon as possible. I feel that he has worked very hard to maximize my benefits, and I have not felt that he was working for his own profits. He was very attentive to my urgent requirements, and answered my many questions that I called and emailed him about. He is very clear with the law, and he gives very good legal advice from his perspective that the case may be closed as soon as possible. I highly recommend him, and feel that he is an excellent attorney who listens diligently and can be trusted.

Brilliant attorney!

Matt is knowledgeable and honest, effective and efficient. He was always available and accessible. I also would like to express my appreciation to his professional team. My divorce was granted within three months. Matt understood my financial situation and even gave me a discount. Who does it these... days? He was there for me “holding my hand” though the roller-coaster-like process. He truly is perceptive, communicative, and rational attorney. I highly recommend Matt. You cannot go wrong with honesty and integrity.

Excellent Attorney!

Matt is a very professional, excellent attorney. I hired him for my divorce. He listened to what I wanted, and he advised me on the best way to go about things. I felt like he truly cared about my situation. When I called or emailed him, he always promptly returned my call/emails. I 100% trust Mat...t, and all of the advice that he gave me was excellent. He clearly explained to me the steps of the divorce process, and each step of the way he made sure I understood my options. My ex was threatening to take me to court to try to get 50/50 visitation with our kids. With Matt on my side, my ex ended up agreeing to standard visitation and did not pursue fighting me in court. Matt is the attorney I want to be on my side all the time! He knows the law, he is confident, and he listens to what his clients want, and then he gives them the best advice from a legal perspective and then acts on that. I am 100% satisfied with Matt representing me. I highly recommend him and always want him on my side!
