“I can’t imagine I would have made it through my divorce, mentally or emotionally, without her. She is insanely intelligent and astute, she is on top of absolutely everything family law related, responsive, reassuring, and gives you confidence in a very unfamiliar world. She’s prompt, factual, strategic, and exactly what you hope for in a lawyer if not more. You can depend on her. Tina is also phenomenal in court. She found so many discrepancies in my ex’s attorney’s work. It was not only impressive, but revealed how detrimental things can be without a truly thorough lawyer like Tina.”
“Not one detail missed and with the situation where my children were at risk, the extra care and attention made all the difference to get full judgement in my favor. I highly recommend Matt and his team!”
“Skillern Firm is the best attorneys in Houston. He genuinely cares about his clients and his firm is diligent, hardworking and very through. I highly recommend him and do not have enough words to thank him for his extraordinary performance in getting justice for my family.”
“I have used several family law attorneys in the 10-17 years and my ex takes me back to court every year. I have worked with Matt Skillern, Caitlyn Thorpe, and Stacy Sawyer. I would never go elsewhere. If you want it done, and done right, do not hesitate to contact them. I have had terrible experiences with all of the family law attorneys I have dealt with outside of them. I only provide positive reviews so my bad experiences are not noted. If you want a positive and good experience, pls go there!”
“The communication is top notch from her to her staff. Her responses were quick at all times, and never left any questions unanswered. I always felt how important my case was to her. Caitlin is an amazing, trustworthy, brilliant, and beautiful human who truly cares about her clients and will fight hard for them. Caitlin isn’t scared to speak out and won’t sugarcoat anything. She knows family law extremely well and during trial always knew the facts of my case very well, was familiar with all details and effectively fought for my kid's rights. I couldn't have been happier with Caitlin and the outcome of my case. I only wish I would’ve hired her sooner, right when the divorce started. Anyone would be so lucky to have her as their attorney.”
