This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent legal assistance

I'm grateful for my attorney Skipp. He made this entire process for mine and my son's case after we were hit be worry free for the process. I was always informed of every step of the way, all the details and if I didn't understand it was clearly explained. Skipp was very kind to both my son and mysel...f. I am truly thankful to have had him on our side to the end of this process.

The lawyer with the most heart

Skip will Handle your Case with your most best interest in mind. He will not only help you but he will work with you to find out what your needs are and how he can help you. I highly recommend him, hired him as my lawyer and could not be happier with what he provided for me and my wife. He handled ou...r case with so much ease and it was really nice having someone who was on our side and believed in me from meeting him. I won’t be able to thank him enough for all that he’s done for us. When he speaks to you it’s as if he considers you family. If you ever need a lawyer, I would recommend this guy above all others in the industry.

Highly recommend Skip!

I was in an auto accident March of 2016 that was 100% the fault of the other driver. I had minor injuries but annoying pain that will be with me for the rest of my life. Tired of being jerked around by the other insurance company for over a year, I made a few calls to see what my options were. 2 ...lawyers would not take my case due to a gap in medical care because of work travel. They predicted the case would go to trial and they were not trial lawyers. One of them referred me to Mr Babbitt and he took my case. Luckily we settled months before trial and my settlement (in my pocket) was well over 4x the last offer I received from the other insurance company. My only wish was that I would have called much sooner! Thanks Skip!

I recommend you to select him as your personal injury attorney

Mr. Babbitt specializes in personal injury case. He carefully reviews your case and gives you proper advice. If you have a personal injury case, if you live in the area, I highly recommend you to make an initial consultation with Mr. Babbitt.

Helped me when the Insurance company wouldn't pay my claim.

Mr. Babbitt is an incredibly professional and helpful lawyer. As anyone dealing with the legal system knows, this can be a time of great stress. The Babbitt team both understands this and handles each case individually while treating you kindly and personally. This team goes out of their way to g...et the best possible outcome all the while being courteous, communicative, and professional. I highly recommend them.
