Trustworthy, efficient, reliable, excellent work product!
Bart handled my personal injury car accident lawsuit and it was a great experience. I never had to worry about a thing because he was always a step ahead of me and on top of all deadlines, correspondence and medical issues. I am very grateful he was there for me.

Excellent, comprehensive, and personal
Mr. Slavin was nothing but the consummate legal advisor during a recent suit. He did all the work on a timely basis and handled the nuances of the case with the skill with which he has amassed through his long and illustrious career. I cannot recommend him and his team more.
