I can't say enough about our experience with the Skeen Law firm! We went in with very rudamentary understanding of estate law and planning and we went away with a much greater understanding! We felt we could ask any question and actually understood the answers. We will absolutely be using Skeen Law for all of our planning and probate needs in the future. I recommend without hesitation!

Skeen Law is a full price, full service estate and probate law firm. This firm is very small and Amanda does her best to get to know clients on a personal level. While Skeen Law isn't the cheapest legal firm in San Antonio they do an outstanding job. Lindsey and Amanda came in over the holiday break to ensure my needs were met. If your loved one passed away and you aren't sure where to begin closing the estate this is a one stop shop. They go above and beyond for their clients and go out of their way to meet clients needs. If you want the job done correctly and are looking for a full service law firm Amanda and Lindsey will get it done.

I needed some help with my father-in-law’s probate so I contacted Skeen Law. I spoke with Ms. Skeen on the phone and received solid advice on how to handle his small estate. Since I live in California and his estate needed to be handled in Texas, I now know what needs to be done, thanks to the advice from Ms. Skeen.

Before working with Skeen Law I hardly knew anything about wills, estate planning, powers of attorney! Thanks to Amanda and Lindsey's kindness, patience, and knowledge, I felt totally at ease throughout the entire process. I am now confident in my plans for the future! Worth every penny!

What a professional attorney! We came to Amanda as we needed a revocable trust to
replace a will we had written ages ago. She was very thorough in explaining every detail of
the provisions of a trust and what was needed for us. I would highly recommend this competent attorney for whatever issues one has dealing with estate matters.

My wife and I have had Amanda Skeen as our legal advisor for almost a year now and we have been very satisfied with her services. She has help us set up a trust that will provide our heirs with peace of mind by avoiding the costly and long probate process of our assets. In the early stage of the legal process she explained to us all the details and meticulously helped us getting the steps done to structure our trust. We strongly recommend her services for anyone needing help in setting up a trust.

Amanda Skeen was very helpful in my estate planning and setting up my Revocable Living Trust. She tells you exactly what needs to be done for a Trust and answered any questions I had. She has everything detailed and then you get a lovely binder with tabs marking each section. I am very glad I did it.

We owe you a debt of gratitude for helping us with our Estate Planning. You have proven to be a very thorough and competent attorney, who worked tirelessly for us and who always had our best interest in mind.
Furthermore you do this all with a fantastic attitude and willing disposition, which was greatly appreciated when I inadvertently forgot a major component of the Will.
Thank you for your fantastic job you did with our Estate planning. Your hard work and dedication is truly appreciated.

My wife and i needed a Will created, along with Advance Directives and Power of Attorney documents. Amanda listened to our needs, and walked us through the process step by step. She made something that is intimidating to most, very understandable and simple. it didn’t take as much time as i thought, but she took the time to answer every question with care and concern . i would recommend her highly to any of my family and friends!

People there were nice but didn't feel sincere. We felt like we were being doubted and there rate was much higher than another lawyer we met. We're going back to original lawyer who was much more thorough and caring.

Pro - 4 Stars: Knowledgeable and professional
Con - minus 1 Star: Cost. Very expensive in my opinion.

Ms. Skeen is kind and knowledgeable; however, she is also very expensive. If you have a small estate, that won't require much in the way of paperwork and research (a normal household in my opinion), then you may want to use a different firm for a much lower cost. If you have a complicated situation, (multiple businesses, homes, kids with former wives) then her flat rate vs. time will be your choice.

Cost: Initial consultation $200, which will be applied towards the Trust or Will. $5,000 for a Trust, and $2,500 for a Will. She would assist with filing documentation where possible. Pricing was upfront. 50% initially, and 50% upon completion. Refunds are possible, minus any any work already done at $400 per hour, and if you paid by credit card merchant fees (around 2.8%).

Miss Amanda, thank you for assisting in our estate planning, our healthcare and financial power of attorney documents. You made this very intimidating process very pleasant. My husband and I are extremely grateful to have found you. Thank you for your patience and attention. You went above and beyond for us by attending to us on very short notices and on days that you typically don’t see clients. Thank you again.

I selected Skeen Law Firm based on fact that they had the best reviews for Estate Planning of any attorney on the north side of San Antonio. I understand now WHY Amada Skeen and firm have such great reviews. My wife and I wanted to set up a system where any assets we had , once one or both of us were deceased, would be distributed correctly, the recipient (heir) wouldn't have to deal with probate court and the process would be simple for them. Amanda was so helpful in explaining the options in the initial appointment. In that same initial meeting we were able to decide on and initiate the process for her firm to prepare a family trust package that spelled out all asset distribution and would include wills and medical directives. They quickly prepared all of the documentation, we picked it up for review, we marked up for a few minor changes required, and, a few days later, came back one final appointment to sign and finalize everything. We're so glad we choose Skeen Law Firm, Amanda was SO pleasant to work with and the whole process could not have been easier. 5 star firm all the way.

We attended Amanda's seminar in order to get a better understanding about Estate Planning. We were very pleased with her presentation. She was very patient with all attendees and took time to answer questions and to make sure answers were understood before moving on to other questions. Later on she prepared an Estate Plan for us and in the process was very patient and kind, never rushing through anything, always trying to make sure we understood each phase of the process and was comfortable with what was being done.
We highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing and Estate Plan prepared. We're sure you will find her to be very knowledgeable and professional Estate Attorney that you will enjoy working with.

Amanda helped my parents with their trusts. My parents were very happy. Amanda also provided books to us that she had written. These books were in depth and helped us understand this complicated topic. She is also always available to talk or email if we have any questions.

What a great experience!! From start to finish, we were treated very professionally and with a warm, caring attitude. Amanda is definitely an expert at what she does. She ended up saving our family SO much money during the probate of my mothers will, that would have otherwise gone to creditors. I will recommend her to everyone!

My wife and I asked Ms Skeen to update our wills, etc. She was thorough, and although we had some complex questions, Amanda did a great job of answering them so we could feel comfortable with the possible outcomes. Throughout the process she was professional and personable. Should any issue arise, I'm confident she will provide great legal advice.

I first cam to know Amanda Skeen, when she did the estate planning for my husband and me. She was very professional and helped us with the planning and necessary paperwork. Since that time my husband has passed away. I decided I needed to make some changes and have contacted her a couple of times. She has been very helpful and prepared the necessary paperwork for me. I highly recommend Amanda Skeen, Skeen Law Firm, to help you in your estate planning.

Having had very little experience dealing with any type of lawyer, I was a little nervous as to what to expect. However, Attorney Skeen eased all my fears as she was extremely personable and understanding. She explained in layman's terms each step of the process and elaborated (very patiently) on things that were not initially clear. She was punctual with our scheduled phone calls, meetings, and sending drafts and final copies. I highly recommend using Skeen Law!

A few years ago we attended a seminar Amanda Skeen gave to a group of people. The topic was estate planing. She was so clear and thorough that we made an appointment that day. By the time we left her office we felt a weight lifted off our shoulders. We knew we were in competent hands.

Amanda Skeen did an excellent job helping us with our estate planning. She patiently and thoroughly answered all of our questions and then placed our assets into a living trust. Before we met Amanda, the task of navigating the intricacies and legalities of the estate planning system seemed daunting. After our first meeting, Amanda understood the project and put our estate into proper order and our minds at ease. Amanda is smart, trustworthy, and diligent, and we highly recommend her services.

My wife and I were new to all the documents and actions that would be required to establish a living trust. Our first meeting with Amanda Skeen we learned the information on living trust and the steps that needed to step it up. Since that time, I must say that Amanda has worked with us every step of the way to get the necessary paperwork done. More importantly she explained those areas we had questions on & made us feel more at ease about those issues we had. Amanda has made things easy for us and we are better prepared to handle or turn over our estate when the time comes. We know she will be there if we need her. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is thinking about estate planning.

We have been very happy and satisfied in working with Amanda Skeen on our estate planning affairs. Between the two of us, we had recent estate experience in the passing of 3 of our parents. Out of those 3 deaths, 2 had estate issues. We knew we wanted to avoid those issues for ourselves and for our adult children. We now feel confident that will be the case. Amanda has made the process very straightforward and very simple. And she’s been a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her.

From the initial appointment with Amanda, I knew I had found the right attorney to handle my estate planning. I had the misfortune to have multiple issues with Probate and Probate Court when my wife passed away, consequently I did not want my children to have the same problems. Amanda is an excellent attorney; she is extremely knowledgeable in law, very organized, and timely. I felt very comfortable talking with her and she answered my questions in layman’s terms, which was most beneficial with my limited knowledge of estate planning. Most important, she is caring and compassionate about her role as an estate planning attorney. Without question, I highly recommend Amanda Skeen as an estate planning attorney.

My husband and I attended your seminar just to enlighten ourselves on estate planning. We signed up for your services, after setting up an appointment at your office, we were convinced we had secured the right person to conduct our business. 100% completely satisfied with your knowledge, patience and understanding of our needs. Your quick response to our questions is to be commended. I will and have recommended your law office to our family and friends. Your office staff is also to be commended! Friendly, supportive, caring and knowledgeable. Thank you Amanda Skeen! We are now secure in knowing that our affairs will ease our sons dealings in our passing.

The services you provided were top notch. Very professional and informed. We never felt as if our “this sounds strange” questions were strange at all! The session you conducted was extremely helpful and frankly, we were sold. We knew this had to be done (trust, living will, etc.) and now we are set. Thanks again.
