    Helping You Navigate Your Legal Matters

    Regardless of the specifics of your case, having a legal issue of any kind can be a stressful and emotional experience. Our firm believes that as your attorney, we are your crisis manager. Because we have seen and handled situations like yours before, we are able to help to guide you through the process and provide understanding counsel from beginning to end.

    We also value promoting strong communication between attorney and client. To build a strong case, a lawyer must have all of the information available. This comes from an open, honest dialogue that allows our attorney to gain a complete understanding of the situation’s complexities. Conversely, this open communication means that our clients are always fully informed of their case as it progresses and are given the necessary information to understand what is likely to come.

    Principal attorney Michelle Villanueva-Skura was an insurance claims examiner for over 14 years and now brings her experience to her clients. Whether you find yourself facing criminal charges or you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s recklessness, our Chandler attorney can help.
