"Highly recommend Mr. Skinner. He helped me during one of the toughest times in my life. He is very professional and kind and made me feel he cared personally about my situation. He resolved the matter in little time and communicated with me throughout the process. I’m very grateful for having him take on my case."

"Jason Skinner is simply the best criminal lawyer in London and the man you want fighting for you in your corner. His team is excellent and they guided me through one of the worst weeks of my life. Jason prepared me for each step in the process, explained what police tactics to watch out for and how to mitigate them. Best of all, he got the charges against me withdrawn before I even had to enter a plea. I sincerely hope I never find myself in the position to need his services again, but if I do, there is no one else I would call. Thank you Jason and the team at Skinner Criminal Law."

"I have had lawyer in the past but my hat goes off to Jason and his team. Meeting Jason for the first time at his office felt great for once. He understood my situation and found out what I was going through with my PO after he had talk to her. I’m glad I picked Jason and his team and I would do it all over again I have recommended him a couple of my friends already, although I’ve heard that lawyers don’t do much when they take on legal aid cases but Jason proved to be complete opposite. Once again I can’t thank Jason and his team enough for the help and support throughout the whole process god bless"
