I attend continuing legal education seminars and conferences on social security and bankruptcy, as well as various other legal profession topics. I always exceed the required number of continuing education hours and have enough extra hours carried over to satisfy the requirements for the following year.

I have handled thousands of social security disability and consumer bankruptcy cases since 1983.

I always wanted to return to historic Rogersville, Hawkins County, Tennessee, to establish a law practice. I have maintained my office in Rogersville since 1983. It is conveniently located so I can easily serve clients throughout East Tennessee. I regularly provide assistance for clients from Hawkins, Greene, Hamblen, Sullivan, Washington, Hancock, Grainger, Knox, Carter, Jefferson, Cocke, and Claiborne counties, as well as other areas of East Tennessee.

I established the Law Office of Mark Skelton in 1983 as a consumer law practice with an emphasis in social security disability and consumer bankruptcy. I focus on providing the highest quality representation and advocacy on behalf of persons seeking social security and/or supplemental security income disability benefits and on behalf of people filing for bankruptcy relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code. My law office is a debt relief agency and is dedicated to the representation and protection of the rights of consumer bankruptcy debtors. We also provide assistance to clients with cases involving probate, estates, wills, family law, divorce, adoption, conservatorship, personal injury and criminal defense.

After obtaining my law degree, I established the Law Office of Mark Skelton in Rogersville, Tennessee.
