About Our Firm

SKIKOS is dedicated to helping clients who have been harmed or injured by the wrongful conduct of corporations and other major defendants. For over 25 years, our attorneys have litigated complex cases against the country’s biggest companies. As lawyers born and raised in Northern California, we are committed to seeing our communities recover after the recent California wildfires.

Giving Back to Northern California

Like many of you, these fires deeply impacted our families, friends, and neighbors. We are working to hold the responsible parties accountable while returning all fair and reasonable money damages to our clients and to our local communities. To that end, we have lowered the contingency rate for our firm’s wildfire clients and pledged our charitable support to the long-term recovery effort.
