An exceptional attorney who is fearless, strategic, and dedicated to fighting for the truth!

Mat and his associate attorney, Ali, fearlessly fight for the truth. Their commitment to fighting for the truth inspires confidence. They stand their ground, refusing to yield even an inch to the threats issued by opposing counsel. Together, they make a powerful team, and if you're in a battle and ...need a fearless warrior in your corner, he’s the attorney you want. I cannot express enough gratitude for Mat and his associate attorney, Ali. In my case, they were absolute game changers, bringing unwavering dedication and expertise to the table. When I was at my lowest, feeling like everything was slipping away, they stepped in and completely turned things around. Thanks to their expertise, I achieved 50/50 custody with no child support, an outcome that seemed nearly impossible given the state my case was in as a father. There is still a long way to go, but I'm guided on the right path. From day one, Mat and Ali approached my case with confidence, strategy, and unmatched dedication. Mat is fearless. He fights hard, pays attention to every small detail, and knows exactly how to navigate even the toughest situations. He keeps you grounded with realistic expectations, but when it’s time to fight, he goes all in, leaving no stone unturned. If you need an attorney who will fight for you like no other, stand strong when things get tough, and bring results that others wouldn’t even dare to aim for, Mat is the one. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I'm pleased I hired Mat and his firm for my case.

great lawyer

The only reason i have an opportunity to be a father to my infant daughter is because of skillern firm. The skillern firm was my shining light thru a very dark time during my divorce. From the very moment i walked in for a consultation every person of the firm cared about my case. From the receptioni...st to para legals everyone knew all the details about my case. My now ex wife was attempting to permanently remove our new born from usa to a third world country. John Schmude, Matt Skillern, and Alexandia Gwyn assured me that they will do everything in their power to make sure that my daughter will remain in the united states. The skillern firm put in strong provisions in making sure my daughter will remain int the united states. They contacted all the proper authorities including the state department in preventing international child abduction. From mediation to trial they were there all along making sure my daughter has a bright future in United states. Skillern firm has very professional and experienced professionals working on all cases. I will always be grateful and in debt to the skillern firm. Skillern firm has saved my daughter’s life and above all has given me an opportunity to be a father to my daughter with sole custody. Oneday in the future i will tell my daughter all about how she was saved and the names of the people who made sure she stayed in the United States.

Excellent and Outstanding Attorney

I don't have words to thank Matt Skillern and his team for his brilliant and outstanding services in our child custody case. Matt is a very knowledgeable, passionate and straight forward attorney. He genuinely cares about his clients and takes times to understand the case and gives very strategic and... sound advise. He worked tirelessly and eagerly knowing each and every detail of the case and did an outstanding job at the trial outlining the truth and getting justice for his client. He is an intelligent and extraordinarily dedicated attorney who is well versed with Texas laws but at the same time very human and compassionate. I don't think I have words to appreciate him and his team for their outstanding performance during the most difficult time of our life. Thank you Matt for everything and may GOD bless you and your family!!

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.

Excellent!

Matt and his team were EXCELLENT from day one. They LISTENED TO ME and helped me to make the process of divorce as painless as possible. I never felt like Matt had an agenda other than to help me to achieve the best outcome. I selected Matt based on other excellent reviews, even though I was an ou...t of town Client. The distance was never an issue and his team was always very responsive, and represented me well when working with my ex's counsel. At times, my ex even said he wished his attorney was as responsive and helpful as Matt and his team. I am a tenured marketing executive, so my expectations on communication and professionalism are very high. Matt and his team MET AND EXCEEDED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS. The result, I had a quick and painless divorce that DID NOT COST ME A FORTUNE... and yes I had children and community assets to be considered. If you want the BEST REPRESENTATION, call Matt Skillern now!
