Simply The Best

Mr. Skibby was honest, hard working and compassionate. My initial discussion was free and for our follow up he had already investigated and strategized a defense for my case. During the process he communicated frequently and always responded to my many texts and calls promptly. He helped me understan...d the legal jargon and worked diligently to get me the best outcome possible. If you're looking for an great defense attorney look no further.

I Highly Recommend Brian Skibby, Esq.

If you are reading this review, then you are debating if you need an attorney for your legal situation you now face. Yes you do, and, the good news is that you needn't look any further. Brian got my case dismissed. Now, every case is different, but, the reason my case was dismissed is because the D.A....'s Office knows and "Respects" Brian. And, why does the D.A.'s Office feel this way towards Brian? Brian is an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable attorney whom will work tirelessly for you. These attributes of Brian's is exactly what you want for you. Don't make the mistake of waiting, call Brian now. Brian has a gazillion numbers to reach him at. He "Always" gets back to you within a reasonable time. I was "Always" able to reach Brian and get a very timely response via email, walk-in and see him in his office, and via the phone. I'm disabled so I am not a rich man; however, Brian's rates are extremely fair and reasonable and he worked payments with me. I am indebted to Brian.

Amazing work?

I hired Mr. Skibby for a ticket I couldn't appear for. after the work he did and the results he got I can honestly say that I wish I could have hired him for all my other cases. his pricing couldn't have been better and he also took the case practically the same day I had to appear since a larger fir...m had delayed their response and wanted me to take a Failure To Appear. I recommend him highly and without a doubt.

very personable & obviously knowledgable

After suffering from a very excruciating back injury, I subsequently missed a handful of court appointments deriving from my immobility. In spite of being a general ass pain to get in contact with, the good counselor stayed atop my case and skillfully negotiated a beneficial plea in my favor. Conside...ring the aggregate failure to appears and possible outcome otherwise, I feel much blessed making out of it as I have. Very good legal counsel.

Don't hire this attorney

If it wern't for Mr. Skibby we would beat our case. He doesn't do homework before going to court. Flies by the seat of his pants, acts all high & mighty like he can do miricales. Then doesn't ask the questions in court to help his client. If you hire this lawyer you might as well save your money to p...ut on your books as you will do time. He also doesn't return calls in a timely manner. He will leave you high & dry. This lawyer is in it for the money not to help his clients.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Brian since 1998. He and I worked at the same firm for many years before we went on our own. Brian is an outstanding criminal lawyer who loves the law. He was the resident expert on recent developments in criminal law for the firm and alwalys impressed me with his knowledge. Brian fights to the death for each client and leaves no stone unturned. He is a very people oriented lawyer which allows him to develop good relationships with the DAs. and this in turn permits him to make great deals for his clients. He is also more then willing to take the matter to trial if need be. If I was in trouble I would hire Brian. I enthusiastically recommend this attorney for any criminal matter."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"There are many knowledgeable criminal attorneys in Southern California. However, I have never met one who is as well versed with the intricacies of DMV procedures following DUI convictions as Brian Skibby. The notion that "Driving is a Privilege and Not a Right" was clearly not invented by anyone who has ever lived in Southern California. If you are ever in a position where you are forced to give up your license for 3 months -- or, even worse, for a year or more -- you will learn this the hard way. Without a way to travel to work or support your family, your life will quickly spiral out of control. This is where Skibby excels. He can help you keep your license, keep your job, keep your family, and keep your life. I have known Brian for over 12 years and I whole-heartedly endorse him for all criminal matters, in general, and for DUI/DMV matters, in particular. There is none better."
