I am very happy I hired Anthony. I was rear ended in 2022 and had whiplash from the accident. He checked in with me regularly and went to work to make sure I received compensation for my injuries.

My close friend recommended Mr Tony, after I got in a car accident back in 2021. He’s straightforward, and won’t cut any corners. He made everything clear as possible for me to understand the process. I was about to embark on, I was so stressed after the accident, I couldn’t function. I had to reach out to him, and his meet multiple times, to help calm me down and that they did. Mr Tony I could’ve asked you for anything more than you did for me and my girls. I’m more than grateful to you and your team for working with me through my meltdowns and frustration. You won’t regret your decision choosing Mr Tony as your Lawyer.
Thanks again to you and your team.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Happy Holidays.

I originally went searching for a lawyer that would bring a voice to my wife's pain from her accident. A voice to my anger having to take off of work to talk to the manager of Enterprise because the insurance company pulled out of their agreement for our car rental. Or the piling medical bills we began to be faced with on top of our income. I found a video bio on Anthony Skemp whom among being a lawyer was a college coach on the side. His confidence and dedication is what suggested to me a man of morals and conviction. Our journey with Anthony took more than months and the only thing I can say is you get so much more than a lawyer with Tony. Hes truly educated but also passionate of the law. Many times myself and Tony clashed over principles and philosophies however each time Anthony took the time to break down how the law actually works something as someone outside the law would not understand like myself. Honestly the man is brilliant and the fact that hes actually accessible and not some corporate attorney in New York is truly a blessing for common citizens such as myself and my wife. Would I suggest Anthony Skemp? Without hesitation. However I will warn you that the fire he brings to defend you also resonates in his devotion to uphold and work within the fabric of his professional expertise. He carries a great respect and patriotism to being a lawyer which is why I think he's never going to be a lawyer that burns out on you or your case.

Mr. Martin accepted my case regarding fraud resulting in business losses. Others didn’t want this case. Attorney Martin was up front about concerns regarding winning. Still, he accepted the case based on merit, and he won the case with ease based on his knowledge.

I don't even know where to start as I want my review to be completely from the heart...when I was in a car accident from another driver hitting me it turned my world upside down. I quickly made the accident of hiring another attorney I had used for something else and found myself lost in answers..I read through reviews and called Kevin Martins office where he was quite aware he would still have to split the money I receive with another attorney and YET even though this isn't the biggest case ever him and his assistant have been extremely thorough, I can always get a hold of someone, they make me feel cared for when I have felt the world is ending, and most of all I never feel like I am "a pain" when I call or email frequently. PLEASE HIRE THIS LAWYER if you want and need to be taken care of!

I was referred to Tom by my sister who has worked with him before. I started having some health issues and figured it was time to get my affairs in order as I kept putting if off in the past. I thought Tom was great and seemed very knowledgeable. He was also very patient and understanding as I asked him alot of questions escpecially about whether to get a will or a trust. He ended up preparing a will and powers of attorney for me for a flat fee which I thought was reasonable. I'm glad my sister recommended Tom and I would also recommend him to others.

I knew we needed financial assistance and wasn’t sure how or if our situation would fit into filing a bankruptcy. Steven McDonald explained and guided us through a Chapter 7 knowing that that was what we needed and could accomplish. Even after we received discharge, Steven McDonald helped enforce my discharge to the creditors who started coming back for payment they were not entitled to. I felt like he had our backs when we filed and when we needed it. We have been able to move on and keep on going. Our life is now on track.

I recieved such honest and outstanding service from Martin Law Office for an injury I received in a car accident. The other drivers fault from slamming into the back end of my car I was sitting in.
Attny Anthony Skemp and his paralegals were always letting me know what kind of information they needed from me. They were great at writing up the timeline and keeping me updated. Between Atty Anthony Skemp, his paralegals and the front desk I was always able to reach someone and get my questions answered.
I felt relaxed, well represented and protected. The kindness, understanding, and integrity of the service was greatly appreciated by me. The settlement process was so successful and even beyond what I had imagined to be possible.
The best part was being able to settle during mediation without having to go into a court situation.
I found this to be a top notch firm and outstanding professionals in their expertise. I have already referred a friend to this firm who also had praises about the service and such a favorable settlement in a vehicle accident ( the other drivers fault) that has helped them in the present and set up into their future too. I am so thankful for all the work, representation, and protecting my rights and needs during this stressful event(s) that Attny Anthony Skemp and the team at Martin Law Office.

I hired Atty Anthony Skemp after I was injured and still in treatment for the painful injury caused by another driver who slammed into the back of my car while I was sitting behind the wheel waiting to move up in a line at a drop off point. The other driver´s insurance company seemed to be helpful. However, about 1.5 mos into receiving treatment and not medically released yet the other drivers insurance company was trying all kinds of hard pressuring tactics to force me into signing off on the claim. I knew that did not seem right. After contacting and having a great first conversation with Atty Anthony Skemp I hired him. I was in pain and physically limited from the injury. I did not have the energy nor the knowledge of how to stick up for my needs and how to proceed with the tactics from the adjuster with the other drivers insurance company. During my first contact with Attny Anthony Skemp I had such a “peace of mind” and knew that the issues with getting the medical bills covered and my rights protected he would be my right choice. There was so much paperwork to gather, filling out forms, writing down the time line, gathering names and addresses etc. and put it all in order. I found myself to be unable to deal well with this all. He immediately took care of all of the paperwork and made sure the bills were paid and also had his paralegals working with me on a timely manner. I was always updated on the status and timeline of my case. Of course the other drivers insurance company was always stalling and what ever other tactics they could do. During my deposition there were some tactics being used by the other drivers insurance lawyer. Atty Anthony Skemp spoke up strongly about all the nonsense. I felt totally advocated for and protected. Of course a case can be drawn out by the other party.
Eventually this case was court ordered to mediation. In the finalizing of the case after Atty Anthony Skemp and his paralegal collated all the information he was able to get this case settled without going to court. He was even able to reduce reimbursements due from the final settlement amount. He had such integrity, always kept me in the loop, and was so fierce in negotiating on my behalf. He always showed me kindness when I was feeling quite distressed from the entire ordeal. I always felt I was in good hands with him and his staff and they handled so much of the process so I could concentrate on my needs and to work towards healing to the best I could. I had also referred close friends who had been in a life threatening injury from a vehicle accident (not their fault). Attny Skemp stood right by their side the whole way and made sure in obtaining the settlement on their behalf that their needs were provided for in the present and also into their future. Without hesitation I recommend Atty Anthony Skemp. I found that he is honest, he doesn’t spin any stories and always presents the accurate facts. In return he expected the same from me and also kept me on track when I was starting to loose my focus. I am grateful that he was on my team and he was quite a fierce fighter on my behalf. I did observe in the various proceedings that he is well respected by his peers. He was able to negotiate on my behalf a settlement that ended up to be much more than I had imagined. Without hesitation if needed I would hire again and also continue to refer others to Atty Anthony Skemp. Top notch service all the way.

My career has been spent in various parts of the insurance industry and I never thought I would need much less want the assistance of a Public Adjuster. Then my house got hit with hail and the insurance carrier I had been with for 20+ years decided they weren’t going to hold up their end of the insurance contract. I tried working with them but struggled with their lack of logic in finding hail but refusing to compensate me fairly. Out of desperation I decided to do something that I thought I never would never do; reach out to a Public Adjuster. From my first call to Miller Public Adjusters, I knew we called the right people. Sam Ifft with Miller Public Adjusters is extremely knowledgeable about property claims adjusting, understanding policy language and what a fair claims settlement is per the insurance contract. He took away the stress of dealing with the insurance carrier adjuster and ultimately got us an equitable settlement. Sam is a true professional and changed my perception of Public Adjusters. Thanks Sam and Miller Public Adjusters. My family is grateful for you!

Mr. de Vinney is a very nice man when you are able to talk to him. As a client I felt that my concerns were unimportant to him. He seemed slow in responding and was short with his answers. He was helpful in getting my file to my new attorney and I am very happy about that.

My band hired Drew to work with an English company that was interested in licensing our music. Drew communicated with both parties involved and wrote up a contract that they could be mutually happy with. He was very helpful in the process, interpreting the contract to us in layman's terms. Drew is very artist-friendly. I feel very secure working with him, and would do so again happily.
