Verified ClientHired Attorney Tina Floridia 2024-2026I highly recommend Tina for anyone navigating divorce or custody matters. From the beginning, her and her team demonstrated exceptional knowledge of family law and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was clear and reassuring. What stood out most was their responsiveness and dedication—they were always available to answer questions and kept me informed throughout my case. They approached everything with professionalism while still being compassionate and understanding during a very difficult time. I truly felt that they had my best interests (and my child’s best interests) at the forefront. Their attention to detail and strong advocacy made a stressful situation much more manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for their support and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy family law attorney.

Verified ClientHired Attorney Caitlin Thorpe 2018-2020When I was blind-sided with a custody order from my child's mother, I immediately felt like I was going through a crisis. I contacted the Skillern Law Firm and met Caitlin Thorpe and she immediately put me at ease and made me feel like I was her most important client. She fought tirelessly for my rights as a father and ultimately I was awarded equal rights as a parent. Her compassion and relentless dedication to her clients is extraordinary and her meticulous focus on all aspects of litigation shine in trial. Caitlin Thorpe, along with paralegal Melissa Skillern at the Skillern Law Firm, are the most passionate professionals I have ever encountered and I can not thank them enough. She was truly a God-send and you will be hard-pressed to find a better attorney.

Hired Attorney Tina Floridia 2024-2025I used Tina for my modification recently. My main goal was to change my geographical restrictions. I can not thank her enough for working extremely hard to get my geographical restrictions changed. My divorce was high conflict so I knew the chances of changing my restrictions was low. Thanks to her hard work, dedication, and thoroughness, I was able to change my restrictions. Tina always ensured I had realistic expectations and I never felt like she was telling me just what I wanted to hear. I felt heard, respected, and like my case was a priority of hers throughout the entire process. I have been dreaming of the day I was able to move back to my hometown and raise my child close to my family. Tina made that dream a reality.
