Report
From the minute we called the office of Stephen Skinner, we were impressed. Stephanie, the on call person, listened to our problem with compassion and understanding and quickly referred us to Mr. Skinner. When Mr. Skinner called, we were instantly aware that not only was his legal expertise apparent, but his kindness was outstanding. The legal issues were clearly delineated and the legal advise was spot on. We are so grateful to have Mr. Skinner as our attorney and would not go anywhere else.
