Excellent lawyer

Excellent customer service and professionalism. Amanda explained every section I had questions about in terms I could understand. She thought about situations I had not considered, which gave me the assurance of protecting my assets for my son. Highly recommend. Scheduling and connecting with Amanda... were easy. Prompt in returning calls and emails.

Dedicated, Knowledgeable, & Great Attitude

We are grateful that we were able to hire Amada Skeen a second time to work on our Estate Planning. Changes were necessary because our first and second Trustee picks were no longer available. We owe Amada a debt of gratitude for helping us with all the changes to our Trusts and Wills. She has p...roven to be a very thorough and competent attorney, who works tirelessly for us and who always has our best interest in mind. Furthermore, Amanda has a fantastic attitude and willing disposition, which was greatly appreciated when I inadvertently forgot a major component of the Will. Thank you Amada, your hard work and dedication is truly appreciated. We are telling our friends about your superior service.

Efficient and very knowledgeable

We had a complete estate planning package prepared by Mrs Skeen. She was very informative and taught us a great deal. She was patient and helpful. She treated us with respect and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. We spoke with a couple of attorneys prior to hiring Mrs Skeen was th...e most helpful and responsive to our needs and questions. We would definitely use her again in the future.

Great lawyer

I hired Ms Skeen while she worked for another law firm that promised "lifetime" service for the trust I wanted established. Unfortunately, soon thereafter, that firm shut down all offices in Texas. Ms Skeen, however, decided to open her own practice and honor that commitment. Each time I contacted he...r, she has been prompt, thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for her honesty and professionalism.

Timely Service Done Right

My husband and I assisted to one of Attny. Skeen’s breakfast presentations and at that time we were looking for an Estate Planning Attorney when I saw her ad on the newspaper. She explained everything clearly concerning what we needed to do a living trust. Later on she did our house deed also. We c...an say about Attny. Skeen that she is very professional and maintained an excellent level of communication with us. She has responded our questions within 24 hours every time. Now we feel our Estate is safely planned for our kids in case that we pass. I highly recommend her services.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
