Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025-2026I cannot say enough good things about Robin Klein and Kimberly McDonald at Skillern Firm. Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful, emotional, and overwhelming experiences a person can go through, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. Robin was exactly the attorney I needed during one of the hardest times in my life. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, direct, and professional, but what I appreciated most is that she truly cared about getting me through the process the right way. Robin was always honest with me, even when the answer was not what I wanted to hear. She helped me stay focused on the bigger picture, protected my interests, and guided me through difficult decisions with wisdom and confidence. I never felt like I was just another case. I felt like she understood the details of my situation, the emotions involved, and the importance of getting things resolved in a way that allowed me to move forward. Kimberly also deserves a lot of credit. She was responsive, organized, patient, and always helped keep everything moving. Divorce cases involve so many documents, deadlines, emails, and moving parts, and Kimberly was always on top of things. She made a very stressful process feel more manageable, and I truly appreciated her communication and follow through. What stood out to me most about Robin and Kimberly is that they worked as a team. They were prepared, professional, and steady throughout the process. Robin’s experience and judgment gave me confidence, and Kimberly’s attention to detail and communication helped keep everything organized. I am very grateful for everything Robin and Kimberly did for me. I know family law is not easy, and I know clients going through divorce can be emotional and stressed. They handled my case with professionalism, patience, and care. I would highly recommend Robin Klein and Kimberly McDonald to anyone needing a strong, experienced, and dependable family law team.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2026Matt is easily in the top 1% of family law attorneys in Texas. He operates at a level that is difficult to find in family law. He approaches every situation with clear strategy, strong judgment, and a deep understanding of how outcomes are actually achieved. He has the ability to handle the immediate situation while also seeing beyond it. He consistently positions his clients in the strongest possible way. He is deliberate, thoughtful, and highly effective in navigating complex and high-conflict matters. I wouldn’t trust anyone more for family law matters. After working with Matt for two years, he is someone I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for experience, precision, and results.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025I chose to hire Skillern law firm for my divorce after they were recommended to me. Robby Wendell was my attorney and was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable of the law . He and his paralegal, Sanaa Hazratjee, were very professional and responsive to my emails and many phone calls. They were very empathetic while also being pragmatic about the optics of my case . Mr. Wendell practices law in a very strategic manner while still maintaining his integrity. He was able to thoughtful advise me through my complicated divorce in a matter that prioritize myself and my future . I would highly recommend hiring him as your legal representation.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025I used this law firm for my divorce & child custody. The process was very smooth. Attorney Robby Wendell and paralegal Sanaa Hazratjee were extremely helpful throughout the process. They answered all my (many) questions thoroughly and were very personable. I would highly recommend them. I hope to not have to use them again (no offense, Robby and Sanaa) but if I do, I would chose them again.
