Profesional, experienced defense attorney
Mrs. Skura, defended me in a criminal case, her efforts were tireless and fact driven. She communicated well during these challenging times of social distancing. I recommend Mrs. Skura to anyone that needs aggressive, professional representation.

Thank you, Michelle
Michelle was the lawyer who represented me in a lawsuit, and I could tell she was the best! Totally transparent, speaks very clearly and bluntly, something that is always appreciated. Her work has been much more than good and has had the best results.

Awesome Lawyer
I had a bad car accident and called Michelle’s office. They were extremely concerned about my injuries and immediately had me going to a specialist. Her office kept me updated on a regular basis about my case and called to check on me and how I was doing. They took care of all my medical bills and insurance claims. I am so very grateful for the excellent job Michelle and her office did on getting me the most money in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her and would contact her again if need be. Thank you Michelle! Because of you and your office I was able to go to physical therapy and take care of myself knowing that my case was in great hands. God bless you for caring so much about your clients and their concerns.

I would recommend this firm to ANYONE serious about hiring an attorney.
I urgently needed legal advise and found this firm thru a family member who referred me to Michelle. I’m sooo grateful to have found such a professional with such a wealth of knowledge for the court case. My Attorney Michelle helped me with my case and was able to drop charges. Thank you, thank you, thank you Michelle! I will recommend you to anyone seeking legal advise!
