L. F. April 14, 2023
Consummate professional, strong ethics and communicator. Eric is the consummate professional, very detailed, stays ahead of court deadlines, empathetic. If you're looking for a family law/divorce attorney; I highly recommend Eric. I can't say enough about Eric; he's tenacious, always a step or two ahead, smart and really cares about his clients.

You would be lucky to have him represent you. It is with great fondness, admiration, gratitude and respect that I put forth this review of my experience with the services provided by Eric Skidmore, Esq. of Skidmore and Associates. Eric is knowledgeable, diligent, smart and humble. If he is unsure of something, he researches and then educates his client. I'm sure a lot of these things could be said about a lot of lawyers, and I had consultations with many lawyers pertaining to my case. The qualities that set Eric apart from any other lawyers I have known are his compassion, his empathy and the fact that this man really cares about his client. The first time I spoke with him I knew he was "different" and sensed immediately I would be in qualified, capable hands and my feeling never waivered throughout the duration of my case. At first I was surprised and amazed at how hard he was working for me until I realized that's who he is and what he does. He is ethical, efficient, fastidious and I truly don't know what I would have done without him. I would never have been represented so effectively by anyone else because not only is he super smart, but Eric is truly a good and kind person. Having him as my advocate is what helped me get through the most difficult time in my life. In fact, he is the only person I always knew had my best interests at heart. I hold him in the highest regard and actually think of him as a friend. To say that I would recommend Eric Skidmore, Esq. is an understatement. You would be lucky to have him represent you.

Biography

I have been helping families of Northeast Ohio in the practice areas of divorce and family law since 1989. I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. Before attending college, I worked in the law firm of my father Archie W. Skidmore in the 1970's. I obtained undergraduate, graduate, and law degrees and clerked in my father's law firm during the summers in the 1980's. I also worked in the Ohio Senate as an intern while at graduate school at The Ohio State University. I have two brothers who obtained their law degrees [1984,1986] and we all returned home to Akron, Ohio by 1987 to practice law. I have practiced family law since 1989, in particular, high asset divorce cases. The divorce and dissolution process can be difficult to navigate through the court system. I am attentive to details and an experienced and compassionate advocate. With every case, I know it provides client's with a new opportunity. I bring a cerebral, professional and civil approach to family law.
