Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025I cannot say enough great things about my attorney, Scott Skier. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and truly invested in my case. What stood out most was not only his deep knowledge of the law but also his ability to explain everything to me clearly so I always felt informed and confident about the process. Scott fought hard on my behalf and treated me with respect every step of the way. He was straightforward, honest, and always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. I never felt like “just another client” — he genuinely cared about the outcome and went above and beyond to achieve the best possible result for me. If you need a lawyer who is sharp, reliable, and truly has your back, Scott Skier is the one you want by your side. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney and highly recommend him to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2018-2025"Mr. Skier is an exceptional attorney.", that coming from a federal prosecutor trying to lock me away for life, but thankfully Mr. Skier prevailed in my case when seemingly all odds were against me. This guy is the preverbal magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat at the last minute to save the day when all around me had given up hope. Initially 7 years ago when becoming aware of the federal governments grand jury investigation against me, I sought out the best attorney I could. After a while of research and interviewing lawyers in person I'm glad that I decided upon Mr. Skier. Generally speaking federal attorneys for various reason are expensive as compared to their state counterparts. And Mr. Skier was no exception. However, it was money well well spent as literally my life and freedom was well worth the price. With the legal case dragging on for years I thought Mr. Skier would charge me more money as the years went by, hence inducing more and more work product by him, but not once did Mr. Skier ever ask for more than what he initially charged me. At all times Mr. Skier and as well his law firm were respectful, professional, expertly knowledgeable, kind, and communicated as much and as often as I wished (many will tell you stories of after paying an attorney you can never get a hold of them again, merely receiving blow off canned responses from their staff). Mr. Skier would call me from Court between two cases not related to me just to share a recent development with me or to return my call. Truly amazing now a days. Mr. Skier even traveled with me to multiple Courthouses in other States. And now all this time later, just about a month ago the nightmare finally ended, and although pronounced guilty I was sentenced to only 90 days of probation and a $400. fine when I was facing the equivalent of a life sentence of incarceration, and millions of dollars in fines. I cannot thank Mr. Skier enough, I cannot say enough good things about the man, and I definitely recommend him to any of my friends or family. THANK YOU MR. SKIER !

Scott Skier is a native of West Palm Beach. Growing up the son of a Palm Beach County Judicial Assistant to the Honorable James Stewart and the Honorable Fred Hazouri, Scott was immersed in the Palm Beach County court culture from a very early age. He is a recipient of the prestigious International Baccalaureate diploma, which he earned at Suncoast Community High School in Riviera Beach. Following his graduation from high school, Scott attended the University of Florida where he graduated cum laude a year early in 1997. Upon graduation, Scott went on to complete coursework for a graduate degree in Religious Studies at UF. Scott was admitted to the University of Maryland School of Law in 1999 and graduated in 2002. Following graduation, Scott returned home to West Palm Beach and was admitted to the Florida Bar in January of 2003.
Upon returning home, Scott accepted a position as an Assistant Public Defender in the Office of the Public Defender, 15th Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County. While employed at the Public Defender's Office he handled more than 50 jury trials within a three-year period. Scott used this time to hone his litigation skills and establish a strong rapport with his colleagues within the criminal justice system.
