I never write reviews, however my experience with attorney Skip Potter was so positive on two separate occasions that I feel obligated to share my experiences. I was involved in two cases in which I retained Mr. Potter. While I was confident of innocence, the local legal environment where I live is one of back room handshakes and leaves little room for defendants to have any positive result. I did originally choose Skip because he wasn’t in my city’s “boys club”, but was in a reasonable proximity. I read other reviews for attorney Potter with skepticism. Nevertheless, my fiancé and I retained

Mr. Potter is one of the greatest attorneys I have ever come across. He’s very professional and straightforward. He made me feel confident about my case and ensured me that everything will be OK and not to worry. He delivered the exact outcome he predicted and did it quickly. His extensive experience, connections and knowledge of the law saved me from a guaranteed jail term. If you’re looking for a well respected, experienced, hard-working lawyer who will fight for you then Mr. Potter is the right person for your case.
Also, Summer, his assistant, is a gracious and important member of Mr.

I would highly recommend! I had a few serious charges and Skip got them all dismissed! He and Summer made the process so easy. They will definitely be my first choice if I ever need a lawyer again!

Skip and Summer were both amazing throughout the whole process! I was facing a very serious charge that would have been life altering. Skip was able to get my charge dropped lower and I was simply placed on community control. They were both VERY responsive any time I had concerns or questions. Skip was very honest with what COULD have happened with my case. I am very pleased with the result, and appreciate them both so much! Thank you again!
