The paperwork for the warrant showed I was to serve 285 days in jail, time that was suspended as a result of multiple traffic infractions. All I wanted to do was speak with Skip, the attorney I paid for to represent me regarding the matter. A simple phone conversation would have sufficed, I merely wanted someone experienced with the local court to give me advice on how to proceed. Instead, I got his assistant summer who told me I could pay Skip $850 to represent me for early release and that my money was good for up to two court appearances but that it didn't come with any guarantee of release.
I decided to file the motion for release myself once I completed the original 16 days. It took about 10 minutes to complete the paperwork, and a few days later it came back denied. I waited 3 more weeks and filed again. This time, after serving an additional 20 days, I was released, but put on probation. Never went to court at all.
In conclusion, I think skip did a good job with getting me a decent outcome for my multiple traffic convictions. However, it is apparent now that he has considerable experience with the local court and how they operate when it comes to the Century Health dog-and-pony show. He could have advised me that they were going to throw me in jail for not going to the assessment within 30 days. Especially knowing I had a sentence of 16 days to complete. In addition, he could have made a quick visit, or even gave me 5 minutes of time over the phone to offer me simple advise. Or at the very least, offered a more reasonable retainer fee for his representation in such a simple legal procedure. But in the end, it's all a well-oiled machine, the business of processing people through the system and litigating for their defense. If you don't have loads of cash laying around, I wouldn't advise consuming alcohol or smoking a joint outside of a locked room.
Very impressed with their level of service and even more impressed with the outcome.
I was from out of town and never needed to show once to get case handled.
He called when needed and quickly handled everything.
I would truly recommend Skip to handle any legal services needed.
They are Fair, honest, and I truly appreciate them.
They provide wonderful service.
Then there is sweet Summer, she was just so amazing as well! It was wonderful to talk with her when I was feeling so lost during my son case!
So Our family would like to highly recommend Skip Potters Law office to anyone in the area needing legal services!
Thank you for ALL you've done for our family! This is most definitely a one of a kind law office!
Replying to owner: Mr. Potter, I'm not "harboring " any negative feelings this review is my own personal experience which I witnessed again how you treated a family member of mine. You never once provided any support or gave my family member any level of confidence in you representing my family member. There was never a misunderstanding you did nothing but caused my family grief. No need to call and discuss anything with you "since reading the reviews I see that's your favorite line" . I'm very knowledgeable on the situation that occurred again with a family member of mine. You not once asked who I was... which I introduced myself to you and my role. So again you did nothing, you could care less at the time who I was but you did tell me what method to use to get you the money. Again I was not pleased at all how you handled the case. You were very rude, unprofessional and not responsive at all. I've gotten more information from you through a review then I did with the case. Again I wouldn't dare recommend anyone to use your services. They're better off representing themselves!

I found the Skip Potter Law Office on Google and called Mr. Potter right away and left a message. He called me back that same day. During that first conversation on the phone he gave me information about my situation and we scheduled to meet in person. In the meeting I gave him all the information and documents the he needed. He explained what he was going to do and told me what I had to do. After I left his office I was another person because I felt I could trust him and he gave me hope. After that, he or his assistant would call me to tell me any news.
I’ve never seen a person who works like he does. He took care of everything from A to Z in a very short time. And after two weeks the case was dismissed.
This is what I call an attorney and I am so happy that I got chance to meet this person. Not only is he a very great attorney, he is also a very nice person who deserves a lot of respect.
I recommend this attorney for any one needs legal help because you’ll definitely find help with Skip Potter Law Office.
Skip put things in perspective for us and truly helped us get through it. He worked with our family, the court, and the procecutor on our behalf. He suggested changes we could make and professionals we could contact and concrete actions we needed to get back on tract. We did what he said. He was right. He presented our case and our progress to the judge and the procecutor and we felt like they were actually all there to help us and support us.
It's been almost 2 years. Our son is going to graduate soon and head to college this fall. I am proud of him and thankful for Skip for doing the work he did for us as a family who needed help--not just paying clients with a errant kid.
إنه رجل خبير ومحترم وصادق في التعامل. لقد عمل جاهدا والغى قضية صديقي. أوصي بالتعامل معه
The most recent case, I wanted full custody due to the neglect and lack of time my daughters mom was spending time with her. Skip told me i had to have evidence if i wanted full custody. So i documented everything that had happened since may of 2012 in case i ever wanted to go back for full custody. I retrieved every piece of evidence i could off of Facebook, twitter, and instagram. I turned over my evidence to Skip in November of 2013. Skip had a guardian appointed. The guardian came out and inspected both of our houses and gave his conclusion in may of 2014. His first proposal was shared parenting and equal time with each parent. I was not satisfied with that and neither was Skip. So we rejected the proposal and my daughters mom accepted it. We then had to go to court for a hearing since we could not agree with the guardian. I met with Skip several times before the hearing going over our case. he had me prepped and ready for the hearing. Skip had prepared a portfolio with all of my evidence and gave a copy to the magistrate, the Guardian, and her lawyer. There was 14 exhibits he had prepared. Such as, exhibit 12 pic 3. We went through the entire portfolio and nailed every point we wanted to make. When Skip was questioning my daughter's mom he had her so flustered and uncomfortable. She actually admitted to not making choices in the best interest of our daughter and not being stable also stating that i was a great dad. I recently received the papers from the court ruling in my favor with me as the sole residential and custodial parent.
I am a 26 year old male and now I have full custody of my 4 year old daughter. I could not be happier, I also could not have done it without Skip. I have won every case I have went into with Skip and if i ever need an attorney again I am sure I will call up Skip again.
I would recommend Mr.Potter to anyone looking for an honest and down to earth lawyer. Even with the small case Mr. Potter most recently helped me with, I never felt unimportant and all my questions were answered thoroughly, promptly, and always great advice. He was generous with his time on my case and was very fair in cost.
