If you or anyone you know is about to go through one of the toughest things to deal with in life such as a divorce and/or seeking legal custody for children, I highly recommend Matt Skillern and his team. Not knowing where to start, I was very anxious to get things going when I made the difficult decision to seek Primary custody of my son. As soon as I started working with Matt and his legal team, they quickly put me at ease and helped me every step of the way. At first, I was eager to learn all about the process and honestly, somewhat impatient, just because I was unfamiliar with the terminology and procedures. I would call several times and ask tons of questions. I quickly realized that Matt and his team are very strategic at what they do and of course, extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. Once I learned that Matt and his team are very methodical, and for a good reason, I realized I needed to trust their expertise and trust the process. David Medina, Paralegal, was also very helpful and I respect his work ethic for providing me with answers to my questions or concerns within a timely manner. Associate Attorney Tina Floridia is extremely smart and will be in your corner to fight for you. Overall, my experience with Matt and his legal team was more than what I could have ever asked for. They treated my case with the utmost respect and dignity. With their help and expertise, I was successful in the outcome I was hoping for which was to be the primary custodial parent. Matt and his team are extremely diligent when it comes to fighting for what is moral and right. They work eagerly and tirelessly for what is in the best interest of their clients. I highly recommend them and plan to continue to seek their counsel in the future if needed. As a father, I knew going for primary custody was not going to be an easy task. Trust Matt and his legal team and trust their process. It is worth every penny. Thank you Matt!!

Mathew Skillern and his team provided superb legal services on a very difficult and complicated custody case. He was absolutely at the top of his game. He understood Texas law and the legal processes as it is applied in Harris County. He was able to devise a clear, effective strategy for my wife and me, communicated it with us and help us maintain the course of action for a year. The result was a great success at the end of a long, difficult road.

I hired Caitlin for a modification case. Caitlin was very knowledgeable and honest. She was bold and helped me thru the process, she explained everything so I was never lost. I'm so glad I hired her she made sure the results came out the way she said they would. If I needed to I would hire her again!

For my divorce proceedings, I retained the services of a high powered “River Oaks” attorney off San Felipe/Mid Ln. Soon into my case I found out all that mattered was how much billable I was. After their lackluster performance at my temporary order hearing, I sought new counsel. Because of the complexity of my case I interviewed 4 different attorneys resulting in the selection of Skillern Law. Upon meeting Matt, I knew I had landed at the right place. Matt immediately puts you at ease and lets you know he’s your empathizing advocate. Within a couple of hours he had a good grasp of my case and off to the battlefield we were. Mine was a contentious case filled with allegations and false lies crossing international boundaries involving eastern traditions and customs. Add to that an opposing counsel from a large firm with unlimited resources. I was delighted to observe; “it was not the size of the dog in the fight, but rather the size of the fight in the dog”. One by one Matt shut it down! He argued emphatically and with conviction. I set five conditions for victory and Matt fought to where I got four out of five. Needless to say Matt is backed by an astute and dedicated team, from the detail oriented David Medina to the articulate and forceful Tina Floridia to Tonya D. to Adrienne C… the list goes on – I was well represented. I highly recommend Skillern Law PLLC for they ARE a force to be reckoned with.

I hired Matt for my complicated divorce case and he outperformed. He is very knowledgeable, honest and passionate. He cares about people. With his great human and analytical skills he was able to resolve my case and get me more than what I asked for. He takes time to listen and understand your problems. He will deliver what he promised.
Matt and his staff will return calls the same day. They are very professional, attentive, caring and supportive. Matt deserves more than 5 star review. I would highly recommend Matt and his staff!

I recently went through a divorce and had the Skillern Firm represent me. The team of lawyers I worked with included Matt Skillern and Caitlin Thorpe. Both Matt and Caitlin did a great job of keeping my case on track and keeping me informed on all important details.
The case was settled recently and I am very happy with the results. I continue to stay in touch with Caitlin and am always treated with respect and as a valued client.
Overall it has been a great experience working with the Skillern Firm and I would highly recommend Matt and Caitlin to anyone needing representation with a family law issue.

I really appreciated working with Matt and Melissa. Matt has a great attitude towards a difficult situation and did a great job of talking through things logically when all I could focus on was the emotions! ;) I highly recommend Skillern Law to anyone going through divorce.

Matt Skillern was not just my divorce lawyer. He was my corner coach championing, guiding, nudging, helping me stay strong, stay focused, stay all in. Matt and Melissa operated with a positive mindset, leading me through the labyrinth of forms, court proceedings, more forms, gathering massive amounts of necessary information—always moving forward, always providing insights and understanding along the way.
Matt is honest and straightforward. No hidden costs. No surprise turns. The process was laid out clearly. The challenges he foresaw, the behaviors we encountered, the end he anticipated were carefully and caringly explained and achieved. You need a lawyer if you’re getting a divorce. You need to have someone who’s in your corner and by your side through the journey. You need the best. And that’s Matt.

Absolutely the best group of family lawyers in Houston. Mr. Skillern was prepaired and ready for a long fight when we went to court, after making our arguments, the judge ruled in my favor and had our opposition pay the majority of the fees and charges. It was easy and a pleasure to work with Mr. Skillern. He is very knowledgeable and has the experience one hopes for when your life is turning end over end. If you live in the Houston area and needs family law help, call Mr. Skillerns office.
