Clients have trusted me to stand up for them, and fight for them for more than a decade. I understand how Prosecutors think, how their minds work, how they act, how they perform. I’ve been one of them. I know how they prepare and I use this to my advantage. Every day. Through experience, investigation and a burning desire to defend my clients, I have more than just an argument; I have facts to prove your case.
Hiring a Criminal Defense Lawyer is an incredibly personal decision. When you stand up for trial, one other person stands up with you. Your Lawyer.

It’s critical you trust that person to fight for your life, your livelihood and your family.

My experience with this law firm and working with the staff is very pleasant. My family and I were very happy we have found a lawyer like Billy Skinner. He made me feel safe and secured the whole time. My case went on about almost three years and Billy always made sure that I take care of myself and reminded me to live as normal as possible which I have. I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU and that I highly appreciate all the help that you have extended to me and my family. God bless you!

I hired Billy at the advice of a friend and former client of his, and after interviewing 2 other attorneys, felt comfortable that Billy was my best choice given the circumstances and my past criminal history that is never easy to overcome. I was charged with 2 felony drug offenses and in 6 months time, Billy worked tirelessly on my behalf and both cases were dismissed and all charges dropped. He was always accessible, communicative, reliable and an all around kind soul who is genuinely interested in helping his clients. If you want an attorney who actually wants to help you after he accepts your payment, this is your guy. I can't be more elated and thankful for the work he did on my behalf. He literally saved my life and God forbid I ever find myself in any legal trouble again, you can bet that my attorney is already on speed dial. HIGHLY recommended!

Only God Knows when the right person is in front of you, the way I met Mr. Skinner was like "saved by the bell". He cared for my case as much as me to get the best final decision. Experience is the most important KEY when it comes hiring an ATTORNEY. Sincerely M. Caballero. Thank you Sir.

The Law offices of Billy Skinner made my experience calming, in an otherwise troubling ordeal. From the initial meeting to my last court day, Mr Skinners professionalism, thoroughness, and passion were most appreciated. From the business aspect, his services are affordable and he'll work with you on a payment plan if necessary. His knowledge of the law and experience was evident in his approach to handling my case. I would recommend Attorney Skinner in a heartbeat. Thanks Billy

My experience with Billy Skinner is completely positive. From the very first court date he demonstrated his experience and that he truly cared about my case and a positive outcome. He worked hard, stayed in communication the whole time, and got the results that we wanted. After my case dragged on for over a year It ended with a dismissal and I know the outcome may have been different without hIs help

I was falsely accused by the police of resisting a search. I was arrested, sent to jail and charged with a Class C misdemeanor. Mr. Skinner came to my rescue! His experience as a former prosecuter allowed him to immediately see through the false charge and fabricated police report. Once retained by me, Mr. Skinner went to work proving my innocence. He tirelessly advocated for me and the end result was that he was able to get my case dismissed. Mr. Skinner was always accessible when I had questions. I found him to be a very personable, caring individual. I am extremely thankful to him for all he did for me.
