  • ★★★★★A powerful turn of events

    Hannah · estate planning ·

    During my first phone conversation with Ginger, she provided more useful information than had been offered in over a year of struggling with an estate and trust that was going nowhere. She was able to cut through years of misinformation and neglect. Being a skilled collaborator, she spoke with multip le professionals and helped to get the progress needed in very complex estate and trust issues that involved various states. She will take on a challenge and move toward a solution. Ginger is a great listener and has provided options based on what was best for me. She has strong personal values and is determined to act in a client's best interest while validating their concerns and is unafraid to confront and fight those who attempt to take advantage of her clients. I would hire Ginger again; she would be my first call. She is honest and compassionate, and her staff is warm and professional. I would recommend Ginger to anyone in need of a champion. Her counsel is money well spent.

  • ★★★★★Super!

    Michael · estate planning ·

    Ginger was so helpful with every aspect related to my friend's estate. Her knowledge and capabilities were clear right from the start. She was very quick to respond and right on top of every step of the journey. She made the whole process as easy and comfortable as could be imagined, steering me thro ugh it gracefully. I highly recommend Ginger for any legal assistance with estate issues!

  • ★★★★★Knowledgeable and Caring Guidance

    Wendy · estate planning ·

    I sought out Ginger Skinner because she was well-versed in both estate and tax law. I was a widow in a state of high anxiety and vulnerability about several issues. Ginger put me quickly at ease, answering my questions, reassuring me, and setting simple priorities. She didn't just look at the f acts, she evaluated me as a human being and tailored her approach to meet me where I was. (This was very different from experiences I've had with other professionals.) Estate and tax issues can be emotional and frightening. It makes all the difference to find someone who not only thoroughly understands the terrain but is genuinely caring.

  • ★★★★★Excellent tax advice for a complicated probate

    Kevin · estate planning ·

    I turned to Ginger Skinner to help provide tax guidance on a very complex estate probate that had already been active for more than a year. She was immediately able to provide critical information that had not been provided by the primary probate law office or the accounting office they had original ly referred me to. Ginger was able to get me pointed in the right direction and working with the correct resources to unwind the tax nightmare associated with the complicated estate. I wish I had known about Skinner Law when I was originally seeking a law office to start the probate process.

  • ★★★★★Exceptional service from an incredible team of professionals

    anonymous · estate planning ·

    I'd like to say that Ginger Skinner's service was as simple as exceptional, but to do so would understate her unparalleled acumen in law, and the profound impact she has had for me and my family. Under difficult circumstances uncommon in standard probate procedures and with our family lacking the pr oper understanding of such proceedings, we were immediately turned away by the first three firms we engaged, while simply wishing to tie up the loose ends inherent in the legal proceedings of a personal loss. Ginger took our case without hesitation, knowing full well we were likely heading to insolvency with our loved one's affairs. Her capacity to practice law in both Oregon and Washington was indispensable for us, matched only by her firm understanding of the surprisingly different proceedings from a state perspective. Beyond this, she was also able to navigate the precarious nature of international law to which other lawyers had balked. Beyond her expertise, the genuine nature of Ginger's firm was evident from our first encounter, and has persisted throughout a difficult year of probate. There was never a moment of frustration from our lack of familiarity with the law, nor an issue encountered that was presumed unsolvable; an additional level of complexity was added due to our case involving issues related to estate administration following a business owner's death, but was handled with the utmost equanimity. Ginger and her team has set a precedent on my expectations of any legal firm I engage in the future, and I assure a similar experience to anyone in search of a lawyer who establishes what it truly means to be a professional.
