Hiring the right attorney made easy!

I used Mr. Sliwinskis services twice so far (so you can count this as 2 reviews 5 Star) and I can't say enough on how awesome this man is. He takes his time with your case and most of all he listens! He understands your situation and uses his knowledge of the law to get you your outcome. He is also o...ne of the MOST reasonable lawyers out there. He is very personable with a laugh and a smile but also VERY professional! I'm a repeat client and while I hope I don't need him for further litigation I do know where I can go for great representation. Thank you Mr. Sliwinski! A+ Lawyer!

Got the job done, and will continue to work with me!

From the first phone conversation in setting up an appointment through all that I am going through, Mr. Sliwinski has been extremely receptive. He has explained what he felt I would be entitled to, how he felt the Judge would handle the case, and what I should expect for the outcome. To date he has... been correct with all of his guidance. Mr. Sliwinski believes that in the beginning you try and be as nice as possible with the other side, but when he sees that the other side was not wanting to act in the same manner, he has shown that he can play hard ball as well not to let them walk all over me. He has been able to win for me what we feel was fair, and is continuing to fight for the rest of what was not addressed to date. He has shown compassion, and been there for all of my concerns. Mr. Sliwinski does all of his work himself without a secretary which I also like, as this way I know that he personally is caring for my case and I am not just another account being put with an employee. Mr. Sliwinski returns our calls promptly, and if he is in court or in a meeting he sends an email letting me know that as soon as he is available generally giving a time frame that he will be in touch. He is extremely reasonable with his fees, and is not an attorney as I have had in the past that is in it more for the money rather than the best interest of his client. All I can say is if you need a GREAT attorney, then contact Mr. Sliwinski and you won't be disappointed.

Did nothing. Poor in negotiations.

Very dissatisfied with the Ted Sliwinski. Hired him to assist me in negotiations, and explained the situation to him. He said he would be able to assist me. I paid him upfront. He called me and told me "good news, they offered....". Like he had done something miraculous. It was exactly the same offe...r I had told him about when I hired him, and wanted him to negotiate for me. I explained that to him, and he told me that anything else would be costly and we would have to go to trial. Why did he take my money then?? I explained this to him BEFORE I paid him. He hasn't called me back since. No closing letter. Nothing.

There are no guarantees when a lawyer is retained to try to work out a debt or a judgment. Most of the time I can produce a decent result for any client. Sometimes the creditors are not reasonable. There is a cost benefit analysis to any legal case. The client most likely did not want to listen to my advice. Lawyers try their best. There are no guaranteed results in this field.

"I endorse this lawyer. When I was starting out as a sole practitioner in 2006, Ted provided work opportunities for me. More importantly, I was able to observe him at work, interact with clients, and gain from his experience in every facet of family law. This provided to me the framework for my own practice. Ted's legal knowledge is almost unlimited and his skills are unmatched. To this day, I continue to contact Ted when I am in need of an opinion or advice on how to proceed with a complex legal issue."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
