Warren is a very eccentric man. He's an odd duck but a very competent one. The bad reviews on here are the people who hadn't seen him in action. Warren truly understands the chain of evidence and the art of negotiation.

He went above and beyond before I even retained him! He answered all of my questions, researched about my case, and provided me with comfort. Very kind and caring person. I would highly recommend him to women who are going through domestic violence as he truly understands the capability of abusers.

Warren Skinner handled my very complex divorce and all issues in its periphery. He did so with the utmost integrity, compassion and generosity. Mr. Skinner went above and beyond all requirements of any attorney. I felt he took a personal interest in helping a single mother with 3 children. I cannot day enough good things about Mr. Skinner. We have nothing but gratitude.

I arranged a free consultation with Mr. Skinner at the office of Stiver Vale in Newmarket. I attended a brief ten-minute meeting where the lawyer reviewed my proceedings to that point and a few weeks later I received a bill in the mail from him for a total of $105.00. The charges included, arranging the free consultation and reviewing his bill. I contacted the office to alert them to a possible mistake but received confirmation some time later that the fees were correct and no mistake was made.

He is not a lawyer, he is a lier. He says something else about your cas just to let you to retain him, the next day he would call you and tell you something opposite. He did this with me.I got his name referred by the Ontario Law Society so I trusted him to solve my case but he eaten up my $1000 and did nothing. Not even drafted a letter to the opposition lawyer. Yet I have to take him to Law Society to answer my questions and to justify eating $1000. I am much upset and could never imagined such things happening in Canada but it is happening here... pathetic and criminal practices. I would advise everyone do not go to him. He will spoil you and eat your money. He knows nothing can happen against him coz he is a lawyer. I am a newly landed immigrant in Canada and not settled yet, with limited budget and resources over that I hired him for usurping my money. From June 20, 2022 10:20am till next day had was changed, upon asking to refund money and stop working he denied everything.

Warren Skinner is An absolute joke of a lawyer, mocks you belittles you and seems to be spaced out most of the time. I pretty much broke even for a case he did for me and I felt it was a complete waste of time. DO NOT hire this man for anything, he is an embarrassment to his profession and reviews on multiple sites confirm it. Do the world a favour Warren, stop practicing “law” or at least what you think your version of it is.

I can’t believe this guy is still practicing law. In all honesty worst lawyer out there in my opinion. He ate all my savings and created all kind of problems for my family. I hope you read this review Warren you honestly should go to church and ask God for forgiveness for all the harm you have caused because you suck at your job. If you value quality and need a good attorney, I beg you look elsewhere. This guy will do more harm than good for you, he will manipulate every person with his innocent talk in the beginning then he goes off with your money and he apply fear to control you. No smart or rich people will use him, he goes after poor and un educated folks. (just like me)

I honestly can’t believe this guy is still practicing law. In all honesty worst lawyer out there in my opinion. During the time he represented me in a custody matter he basically caused me to lose custody of my son through his ineptness. I would love to sue this guy not only to get my money back but for all the harm this wannabe attorney caused. I hope you read this review Warren you honestly should go to church and ask God for forgiveness for all the harm you hace caused because you suck at your job. If you value quality and need a good attorney I beg you look elsewhere this guy will do more harm then good.

i met mr. skinner at court house when attending my case and asked if could see him for complimentary meeting. he asked me to see him at his office but didn't retain him since didn't like his approach and he tried to frighten me as to why i should retain him. needless to say i didn't retain him. however, i was totally shocked to receive a bill for the complimentary service and now he has threatened to take me to court and has filed plaintiff's claim to take me to court which will defend
