I retained Brian after a previous general practice lawyer had destroyed my case with improper/poorly timed filings and insufficient pleadings. The last thing I wanted to do was switch lawyers in the middle of a case but I had no choice, I had no trust/faith. Brian Skidmore was able to flip my case around and get me to an end result that I was happy to live with. REASONS WHY TO USE BRIAN: When this guy starts a case he goes ‘full throttle’ This lawyer will do everything he can to always have an upper hand. He takes the extra step to know every fine detail and weighs every possible option. Possibly his best characteristic is that I truly believe he cares about his clients, you’re not just a number and a paycheck. It’s difficult to find people passionate about their career but when it comes to a real estate lawyer, do yourselves a favor and retain this one.
Brian was awesome to work with and his professionalism was top notch. As we worked together to resolve the matter of a property controversy. I experienced how he easily handled the fumbling, easily confused, person that attempted to be challenging to work with. Brian would professional get the person back on track and move the matter forward to agreeable resolution. Great job!
We hired Brian Skidmore to represent us in a home construction project case. After discovering several serious construction defects, we fired the builder (general contractor) and Brian filed the case. Brian quickly reviewed our case, explained to us the complexity of our claim and a course of action. After an unfavorable ruling on a procedural matter, Brian was convinced that the arbitration clause in our construction contract could be defeated. He promptly filed an appeal with the Ninth District Court which remanded the case back to the trial court for an additional hearing. Ultimately, the issue was resolved in our favor and the case proceeded in Common Pleas Court. Brian hired expert witnesses to solidify our case. He negotiated an agreement by all parties to combine this case with a second case that a subcontractor filed. He added additional subcontractor defendants to the case. Ultimately, with his help and guidance, the case was settled after a long mediation process. We felt that Brian was always representing our best interests. He promptly returned our calls and kept us well informed of the progress of the case. He was well prepared for hearings, depositions and mediation. We highly recommend Brian and his firm.
Almost 2 years ago my husband and I had hired a big box DIY chain to install new flooring in our home. The job was never completed and the workmenship was very poor. I tried dealing with the installer, as well as the store, but after 18 months no progress had been made. I called Brian at the end of July 2018 and within two months He was able to bring a resolution that both my husband and I were very happy with. During every interaction with Brian I found him to be knowledgeable and respectful . He was very prompt at returning calls/e-mails and answering questions. I am very appreciative to Brian for facilitating a resolution to our issue and would recommend his services.
We hired Brian Skidmore to represent us in a home renovation project case. The contractor failed to complete work to a level that met industry / professional standards. Brian thoroughly researched and hired building experts to examine and report on the substandard workmanship. He then prepared the case and presented the evidence to the contractor's attorney who agreed to arbitration and ultimately a settlement. Brian kept us informed and up to date throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Brian and his firm.
