Practice Areas

Litigation

The Skiba Law Group represents clients in both the defense and prosecution of civil litigation claims.  The attorneys at the firm are experienced in handling all types of civil cases and will work with you to achieve a timely, satisfactory result.  While our attorneys begin preparing to litigate your case from the first consultation, litigation and trials can be costly, stressful and very time consuming. 

In fact, civil cases in the Maricopa County Superior Court take on average eighteen (18) months from initiation of the lawsuit to trial.   This, along with many other factors, result in an overwhelming majority of civil cases settling prior to trial.  The attorneys at the Skiba Law Group will help you in determining if a seeking a settlement is appropriate in your case or if the matter should proceed to trial.  Whichever route your case takes, our lawyers will aggressively represent your interests.

Many of our clients have never been involved in a lawsuit before.  We take the time to educate you on all aspects of your case to help you make informed decisions on the direction your case should take.  From the filing of a complaint, to discovery, depositions, arbitration, to trial we help you understand why we are doing what we are doing and how it will help you achieve your desired result.

In the last year the Skiba Law Group has handled cases involving business litigation, breach of contract, fraud, real estate litigation, construction defect, Arizona Registrar of Contractors matters, quiet title actions, bankruptcy litigation, and more.

The Skiba Law Group represents clients from many counties within Arizona, as well as helping clients reach their goals who reside in California, Utah, Nevada, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Japan, and India.  We represent companies, large and small, and individuals all of whom seek comfort from an attorney who understands that quality matters.  Our firm offers a free consultation on all civil cases.  We look forward to meeting you to see if we can be of service.

Family Law

When one thinks of family law, typically only divorce comes to mind. However the attorneys at the Skiba Law Group provide comprehensive services in the area of family law, not only in divorce but in the areas of support, child custody, modification, and enforcement. At the Skiba Law Group we understand that legal issues involving family members and loved ones can put a tremendous strain on the emotional and physical well being of an individual and the entire family. We seek to aggressively represent the rights of our clients and truly act as their advocate throughout the legal process.

Often people go through the divorce process only then to realize that additional legal challenges arise in the form of child visitation issues, child custody issues, changes in child support payments or enforcing the terms of the divorce decree. Your family situation and circumstances of your life will undoubtedly change from the time when the divorce is finalized. We are here to help you understand how those life changes affect your prior and future legal proceedings. The lawyers at the Skiba Law Group will be there to help guide you through the legal process whether it be enforcing the terms of the divorce decree, modifying the amount of child support that is paid or modifying the current visitation or custody arrangement.

We look forward to helping you with your family law needs. Please contact our office to arrange for a consultation.

Bankruptcy

Debt can be one of the greatest sources of stress on both the individual and the family. Bankruptcy can provide the debt relief you seek and provide a fresh start in building your financial future. The Skiba Law Group is there to help you determine if bankruptcy is appropriate for your financial situation and if so whether a chapter 7 or chapter 13 will be available. Many are unaware that state exemption laws permit you to keep most if not all of your property, even during bankruptcy. Having an attorney who knows how to protect your property and help you decide when the best time to file bankruptcy can be invaluable in getting the fresh start you are seeking.

As many are aware, the bankruptcy laws underwent substantial changes in late 2005. While bankruptcy relief is still available, the new laws may affect your ability to seek relief under chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code. A consultation with our attorneys will help you evaluate whether filing bankruptcy will provide you the debt relief you are seeking or determine if another route would achieve a better result.

Your consultation will always be with an attorney who will help you through the bankruptcy process and an attorney will personally handle every case. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss how we may be of service in helping you deal with your debt problem.
