Child support enforcement

Mr. Skupin is a very talented lawyer who is able to get results and defended my case with ease. Mr. Skupin was very professional and took my case with sincerity and professionalism. I will definitely call him up if I need representation in court again.

Highly recommended for Paternity/Custody in out of state case

I can't recommend Mike enough. Prior to selecting Mike as my attorney I interviewed with 6 different attorneys. From the initial consultation I got a sense that he really knows Family Law inside out. I'm so glad I picked him. I reside in Florida and my kids reside in Arizona. Mike's communicat...ion skills are excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. He was able to resolve my case, and get me very favorable terms, without me having to travel to Arizona at all. Mike provided excellent guidance and reassurance throughout the entire process. My experience with him was fantastic and I can't recommend him enough.

Divorce & Child Custody Matter

I was recommended to Mike Skupin due to his experience in divorce and child custody issues. Since day one, Mr. Skupin took the time to listen and address every aspect of my divorce and child custody. Mr. Skupin went above and beyond to help me obtain the result I was was looking for. Mr. Skupin was e...xtremely supportive throughout the proceedings and communicated with me as needed. Mr. Skupin professionalism and the way he handled my divorce and child custody proceedings were phenomenal. I highly recommend Mr. Skupin if you ever need s lawyer that would fight for you to obtain the results you want.

Michel Skupin should be your first call when you need a Family Law attorney

When your need to hire a family law attorney ever arises, Mr Skupin needs to be your first consideration. He is very professional, attentive, and his fees are affordable. With that being said the intangibles with Mr Skupin's firm are what makes him a brilliant lawyer. Those are client dedication, ...good listener, quick follow-up, preparedness, only to name a few positive qualities. When I was in court the first time I was incredibly nervous but Mr Skupin made me feel confident as he began to proceed presenting my case to the judge. He was impressive. I would also like to give kudos to his amazingly efficient office and admin support team. They were always communicating with me on every detail of my divorce case.

Can't thank Michael enough!

I came to Mike and his law firm with a very challenging case. I had been struggling with a child support and parenting plan modification which had been both refused by the other party and dismissed by the courts twice already. I felt there was no hope in even getting my case to trial due to a multitu...de of legal challenges I faced from both the opposing counsel and judge assigned to the case. Mike listened very attentively to every aspect of the case as I laid it out to him. He immediately helped me relax and feel there truly was hope. He showed me how the opposing counsel was misconstruing the facts of the case. After listening to Mike patiently explain all legal angles available for the case during our initial consult, I felt energetic and hopeful and immediately asked him to represent me. Mike and his amazing staff (his senior paralegal, Brigitta, in particular) were always available to answer my questions and alleviate concerns throughout the entire process. Mike was ingenious in pursuing legal paths which hadn’t been thought of before from my previous legal representatives. His creativity enabled me to get past every road block which had previously blocked me from any legal success. With his very knowledgeable leadership, I was able to finally have my day in court in which I won every argument I had brought before the court! Both the ruled upon parenting plan and child support were exactly as I desired! He did such an amazing job of detailing and proving the facts surrounding the case, the judge actually ruled against the other party as being unreasonable based off the preponderance of the evidence. This was the same judge who had previously thrown out my case multiple times…I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of a case I had previously thought impossible to win! I will definitely seek Mike and his staff’s assistance for any future legal matters! I highly recommend Mike’s legal firm for anyone and everyone!
