I devote my practice 100% to consumer issues. Whether you are having a difficult time financially and need to file for bankruptcy relief or if you are being harassed by creditors and need an aggressive attorney to make creditors follow the law, my staff and I can help you in obtaining the relief you need.
Prior to law school I attended BYU where I studied sociology and psychology. While at BYU I was fortunate to play football for the Cougars and was part of the inaugural Mountain West Conference champion team.
I offer a free consultation on bankruptcy cases to discuss what options are available and to help you prepare a plan in moving forward.

"I have known John and have watched his good work for consumers in Arizona for a number of years now. Especially dealing with debt collectors or debt buyers like Midland Funding. He gives away a ton of great information that you should look at. Not everyone who is dealing with debt or a debt collector needs a lawyer but everyone needs good solid information. He'll give you very solid information. And then you'll need to act on that information. If you need a lawyer in Arizona, I highly recommend John Skiba. He'll shoot straight with you and guide you through the process. John Watts"
