Skillern Firm Divorce & Child Custody Lawyers

I had contacted several firms and either they didn’t call me back or their position on the case didn’t align with my morals and ethics. After speaking with Mr. Wendell, I knew Skillern Firm and their team was the best. I am grateful for the entire team - Robby, Sanaa, & Kelly to name a few. Every individual that I have had contact with has been above professional and kind. Most importantly, my family is safe because of the team’s hard work & dedication. They are real life heroes and I cannot give enough praise to their constant attention to my case in every aspect and support. They are a very good representation of the firm and Mr. Skillern. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Forever Grateful!

We were looking for a specific form of removal where the DFPS was already involved. We met with various attorneys and all had one or two options on moving forwards, none that we were truly ready for or interested in. We had heard of specific orders but when we talked about none seemed to specialize or have the knowledge on how to handle the matter. We were referred to Cailtin as being overall good but specifically for being a specialist in the matter. We discussed and immediately knew she was who we wanted to represent us and help our niece get a more stable environment. She succeeded and we are in a really good place right now thanks to Caitlin and her team.

The Skillern Firm truly works as a team. My attorneys, Hannah and Robbie, were both amazing. Robbie stepped in when Hannah needed support, and they worked together seamlessly to make sure my case stayed on track. From the start, everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. They made sure I understood every step and always communicated clearly and promptly. Even the paralegal, Ann, and the accountant, Kelly, took the time to communicate with me and answer my questions. What stood out most was how the entire team collaborated to handle my case no detail was overlooked, and I always felt supported. Divorce can be overwhelming, but The Skillern Firm helped make it manageable and ensured I felt confident in every decision. They help me get what was best for me and my child. I’m very grateful for their dedication and teamwork.

I've been very pleased with my overall experience as a client of the Skillern Firm. Caitlin Thorpe has been incredible to work with and helped me through numerous difficult situations. I always appreciate her responsiveness, understanding, willingness to help, and ability to be straightforward. Never once did I have concerns with dishonesty, as I've had with several other attorneys I consulted with (or hired) outside of the Skillern Firm. She has a fantastic presence in the courtroom, where she demonstrates professionalism, confidence, and great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Caitlin, and the firm itself, as everyone I've interacted with has been helpful and responsive here.

Mrs. Caitlin Thorpe what an amazing sincere lawyer she is. Much heavy weight off our shoulders feeling relieved after she handled the case. She took the case very seriously, gave us our rights and way more after court hearing. I don’t think she has any weaknesses God Bless her. She rocked & rolled that court room. Results were definitely more than what was expected from the best of the best of lawyers. I wish her and her family nothing but happiness & goodness.

Caitlin Thorpe represented my sister and was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for all involved. Caitlin Thorpe was highly professional and would check in with us and make sure we knew what was happening at all times. She was personable rather than just handling her as a "case". Caitlin Thorpe and her team were comprehensive, strategic, and always one step ahead. Highly recommend!!

Matt Skillern is capable, ethical, and hard-working lawyer. Matt was my divorce attorney and I was completely satisfied with his work. I had a tough case and there was no one else I would have considered turning to. He consistently proved himself to be sharp, well-prepared and tenacious. On multiple occasions, Matt had a calm and steady demeanor helped dissolve very tense situations. He could, however, jump on the offensive very aggressively when necessary. Matt was always very conscious of my situation and was upfront about the risks and costs of each strategy. At no time did I feel like he pushed a direction that wasn’t solely in my best interest. He is the best lawyer in the Houston and surrounding are.
