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.

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!!

If you or anyone you know is about to go through one of the toughest things to deal with in life such as a divorce and/or seeking legal custody for children, I highly recommend Matt Skillern and his team. Not knowing where to start, I was very anxious to get things going when I made the difficult dec...ision to seek Primary custody of my son. As soon as I started working with Matt and his legal team, they quickly put me at ease and helped me every step of the way. At first, I was eager to learn all about the process and honestly, somewhat impatient, just because I was unfamiliar with the terminology and procedures. I would call several times and ask tons of questions. I quickly realized that Matt and his team are very strategic at what they do and of course, extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. Once I learned that Matt and his team are very methodical, and for a good reason, I realized I needed to trust their expertise and trust the process. David Medina, Paralegal, was also very helpful and I respect his work ethic for providing me with answers to my questions or concerns within a timely manner. Associate Attorney Tina Floridia is extremely smart and will be in your corner to fight for you. Overall, my experience with Matt and his legal team was more than what I could have ever asked for. They treated my case with the utmost respect and dignity. With their help and expertise, I was successful in the outcome I was hoping for which was to be the primary custodial parent. Matt and his team are extremely diligent when it comes to fighting for what is moral and right. They work eagerly and tirelessly for what is in the best interest of their clients. I highly recommend them and plan to continue to seek their counsel in the future if needed. As a father, I knew going for primary custody was not going to be an easy task. Trust Matt and his legal team and trust their process. It is worth every penny. Thank you Matt!!

Mathew Skillern and his team provided superb legal services on a very difficult and complicated custody case. He was absolutely at the top of his game. He understood Texas law and the legal processes as it is applied in Harris County. He was able to devise a clear, effective strategy for my wife a...nd me, communicated it with us and help us maintain the course of action for a year. The result was a great success at the end of a long, difficult road.

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.
