I hired Skillern Law firm for a custody case with two children. John Schmude was assigned to my case and his performance was exceeded expectation. His knowledge of the law, meticulous detail with legal documents, mediation capability, and preparedness for court ended in a victory for my case. He demonstrated a “real world” understanding of my situation as a father in a high conflict divorce and handled many unrealistic demands and accusations flawlessly. My case ended in full custody of my son and I am grateful for the professionalism and legal representation Mr. Schmude provided with flawless execution.

John Schmude did an excellent job on my child support case. He was an attentive listener, and provided feedback about important details throughout my case. Every communication was timely and professional. John was tough when necessary, and used all available means for the benefit of my case. Additionally, the Skillern Firm staff was supportive, friendly, and professional.
Of most importance, John knows Texas law and its application. He is highly experienced and expertly navigates through the court system. As a family man, John is kind and considerate. As a legal professional, John has vast expertise in family and business law. He is real and involved. I greatly recommend John Schmude to anyone who needs an outstanding attorney and representative.

After almost three years of legal battles and drama and multiple attorneys, we found John. He came in, made the complex simple, cut through the drama and nonsense, took quick action on my behalf, and stood his ground. He was fair, he listened, he was straightforward with me when I was wrong but he was a tireless advocate for what I deserved, he was incredibly well-prepared, and he actually cared.
As for the outcome? To put it simply, we won EVERYTHING.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.

The only reason i have an opportunity to be a father to my infant daughter is because of skillern firm. The skillern firm was my shining light thru a very dark time during my divorce. From the very moment i walked in for a consultation every person of the firm cared about my case. From the receptionist to para legals everyone knew all the details about my case. My now ex wife was attempting to permanently remove our new born from usa to a third world country. John Schmude, Matt Skillern, and Alexandia Gwyn assured me that they will do everything in their power to make sure that my daughter will remain in the united states. The skillern firm put in strong provisions in making sure my daughter will remain int the united states. They contacted all the proper authorities including the state department in preventing international child abduction. From mediation to trial they were there all along making sure my daughter has a bright future in United states. Skillern firm has very professional and experienced professionals working on all cases. I will always be grateful and in debt to the skillern firm. Skillern firm has saved my daughter’s life and above all has given me an opportunity to be a father to my daughter with sole custody. Oneday in the future i will tell my daughter all about how she was saved and the names of the people who made sure she stayed in the United States.

John Schmude was an answered prayer for our family. I contacted him when my situation seemed hopeless. He took the time to listen to every word, and immediately came up with a game plan to help us. His office (Skillern Law Firm) is run like a well oiled machine, and after one conversation with him I was well on my way to getting a retrial...which I didnt even know was an option!!! His office, within an hour had completely changed my situation! If it were not for the fact he had presided over my case, I would have hired him...unfortunately he was not able to take the case for me. He recommended an excellent substitute who completed the work he started, and I will am eternally grateful. This is the guy you want, trust me on this. Dont be fooled by the cheap attorneys out there, they are low cost up front but cost you way more in the long run. Hiring him will be your BEST MOVE YET. I wish you luck on your search for representation, but the right choice is right here!!!!

I highly recommend this lawyer that is also a former Judge. He really cared about my granddaughter and my case. He is a man of great family values and morals! He’s very down to earth and easy to talk to. He put his heart and soul into my case. Even though Sonja Heath did not rule in our favor because she obviously doesn’t care about the safety and well being of children, I can honestly say that John Schmude did everything that he could to protect my innocent granddaughter. I would highly recommend him as a lawyer and as a judge. He will definitely have my vote and I will definitely campaign for him In the next election. I do not recommend voting for democratic Judges after my experience with Sonya Heath. Vote Republican all the way!!! The actually care about families and children. They actually have morals and values unlike democratic Judges that are for criminals, welfare, and abortions! Give John Schmude a call today! I promise you won’t regret you did!

John Schmude helped me with a very difficult divorce case. He was extremely knowledgeable with family law and navigated the situation to a manageable agreement. Not only did I feel that I was in very capable hands, I also thought he genuinely cared for me and the well-being of my children. I highly recommend John Schmude.

Someone said the other day, that I have a great lawyer!
My response to him was YES I DO!! He is worth more than the money that I paid him!!!
To find a lawyer who is first and foremost genuine, very honest, trustworthy, very informative, caring and believes in and or has faith in his clients abilities is very rare.
John helped me in my time of need, and together we accomplished the IMPOSSIBLE!!
I had a difficult case that dealt with child support/custody issues, domestic violence all the way down to relinquishment.
All I can say is God is Able and is Faithful
Job well done John, and thank you for your support, encouragement, hard work, time and dedication to myself and to my daughter.
Because of you John things are different but GREAT, and will continue to get better!!

Mr Schmude helped me at a time that I thought I was defeated. He helped me in a situation that I believed was just a total loss. He really came through to me and I'll refer him every time someone asks. I am forever in his debt. Excellent attorney and very reliable.
