Mr. Skelton is very professional and prompt. He knows what he is doing and is well worth the money. I've been in bankruptcy court and it is very disturbing to see how unprepared most of the other attorneys are.
Mr. Skelton has everything prepared and has the right answer for all the questions posed.

Attorney Skelton is a cut above other bankruptcy attorneys. He is totally client focused. He thinks "outside the box" and is willing to try new approaches that no other attorney would even consider. He accepted me when every other attorney in my area said I didn't qualify for Chapter 13, and he reduced my debt by about 90%. He really knows his field and aggressively puts it in practice. He truly goes the extra mile for the client, and I am truly grateful for his exceptional service.
