Skidmore & Associates

At Skidmore & Associates we bring a "home-grown" element to the practice of law. Since 1955, founder Archie W. Skidmore has developed a reputation of honesty, integrity and trust. These attributes have been infused into the moral and ethical character of the other attorneys through an extensive mentoring process. Although having diverse educational backgrounds, each attorney entered the firm at the staff level before becoming licensed to practice law. The mentoring process began prior to each attorney's graduation from law school and continued thereafter.

For decades, the firm has been synonymous with quality legal services in Summit County and has received a very high to pre-eminent legal ability rating and very high ethical standard rating from Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. The formula is simple: we believe that quality legal services can only be provided by quality people. The attorneys and staff employees aspire to the highest degree of morality in conducting their personal and professional lives. A careful balance between the two is emphasized and one is not practiced to the exclusion of the other. Our employees are duty bound to be responsible and moral spouses, parents and members of the community. These ideals provide the foundation with which to practice law.

We represent others the way we would like to be represented. At Skidmore & Associates we provide candid legal advice to clients based upon the facts presented and legal precedent ? good, bad, or indifferent. In a transaction or litigation, this candor enables our clients to make cost-effective and informative decisions as to their legal options. We have been able to develop long-term relationships with our clients by providing intelligent and practical solutions to their legal and business concerns.
