Highly competent and compassionate legal advocate

I recently saw a negative review about Attorney Zach Skidelsky and felt compelled to share my own experience. I’ve worked with Mr. Skidelsky on two separate matters—one a few years ago involving a national veterinary hospital, and more recently, in November 2024, in a dispute with a major U.S. airlin...e. In both cases, Mr. Skidelsky provided exceptional legal representation. He was thorough, responsive, and always kept me informed. He took my concerns seriously and never made me feel like I was asking too much or didn’t understand something. What stood out most was the compassion and dedication he showed, especially in the airline matter where I felt completely disregarded by the company. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to resolve the issue without even having to file a case—and the settlement outcome was better than I ever expected. I truly don’t know what more anyone could want from an attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smart, compassionate, and highly effective advocate.

Exceptional

I am profoundly grateful for the extraordinary legal support provided by Mr. Skidelsky. In my case I was facing three misdemeanor charges as a nurse, falsely accused in a situation by my abusive ex in a custody ploy. Mr. Skidelsky stepped in as my unwavering advocate. His expertise in criminal defen...se proved to be nothing short of remarkable. Throughout the process, Mr. Skidelsky displayed a rare combination of legal acumen and compassion. He meticulously crafted a defense that not only refuted the unjust charges but also helped me regain control over my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Zach Skidelsky to anyone in need of a skilled and empathetic criminal defense lawyer. Thanks to him and his team , I can now move forward with confidence, leaving behind the unjust accusations that once cast a shadow over my life. I am forever grateful. Special thanks to you Mr. Skidelsky!

Amazing Attorney!

Jack was amazing! He represented in a DVRO. My family attorney was out sick and he had to represent me in all matters. He was not only quick on his feet, fought tooth and nail for my interests. I truly appreciate his work.

Best lawyer

Zachs one of the best lawyers you can ask for they were trying to hit me with 3 strikes right away I rode it out for a year and beat the case

Great attorney

I hired Zach to represent me at a court hiring to finalize my case. During my consultation he was attentive, knowledgeable and confident. During the hearing he showed empathy and was happy when we got a positive result, termination of sexual registry. If you are looking for a confident and caring law...yer that can help you resolve issues with registry removal or termination of registration look no further then Zach.

"Zach is one of the top criminal defense and DUI attorneys in California. In addition to that, he has done amazing work on civil cases including cases where millions of dollars are at stake. In criminal defense, he has gotten major felonies dismissed. In one noteworthy case, he got a hit and run manslaughter case resolved with no jail. Absolutely amazing."
