Hired Law Firm

I don’t have enough words to fully express my gratitude for Matthew at Skillern Law Firm. He didn’t just represent me he fought for me like family. I was facing false and painful allegations from my ex that could have cost me custody of my children. Matt stepped in with unwavering strength, clarity, and compassion. He saw the truth, stood by me, and believed in me at a time when everything felt like it was falling apart. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I now can support my children directly when they’re in my care exactly the outcome I had hoped and prayed for. This was more than just a legal victory. It was a life-changing moment, and Matt made it possible. If you’re going through a tough divorce or custody battle, especially with a high conflict or unreasonable ex, trust me, you want Matt in your corner. He’s not just an exceptional attorney he’s someone who fights with heart.

Hired Law Firm

Matthew Skillern and his staff were nothing short of exceptional. They guided me through one of the most difficult chapters of my life, a divorce after 27 years of marriage. I knew I needed the best, and that's exactly what I found with The Skillern Firm. From day one, Matthew's team took a personal and genuine interest in my case. They helped me navigate an overwhelming legal process with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Ali was a true anchor, always available, incredibly knowledgeable, and unwavering in his support. He addressed every concern with care and helped me face each challenge head-on. His courtroom preparation and honest, thoughtful guidance were invaluable. But it was Matthew himself who gave me what I needed most, knowledge, strength, and the courage to keep fighting. He empowered me to face this painful process with integrity and resilience. I truly don't believe I could have made it through without him. I'm forever grateful to this firm.

Hired Attorney Mr. Matthew Skillern

Matt is the worse attorney you might deal with, He is not worth the money he take. Better to do your homework very carefully, and looking for someone he/she doseis young attorney to do it, can not deliver his promise. Better to do your homework very carefully, and looking for someone he/she dose the work not his people.
