The Best

My story begins with two prior lawyers stating that what is being offered is the best that I would get as far as a settlement regarding my divorce and custody. I was not satisfied with that and went to seek other opinions. Upon my consultation with Ms. Cheryl Slater, I knew that I had found the bes...t attorney for me. She was able to satisfy all my divorce and custody requirements. I was told by the other lawyers that it would be difficult for me to even get joint custody. That wasn’t the case with Ms. Slater. I not only recommend Ms. Slater as a divorce attorney, but I guarantee that you will have the same impression of her as I do. She is an outstanding professional who exhibits considerable knowledge, responds in a timely matter, offers compassion, and fights hard for her client. She took my divorce and custody case that had been stalled for two and a half years and brought the matter to a close within a few short months. If you want someone who will fight for you and obtain positive results, your choice should be Cheryl Slater. Thank you Cheryl!

The best choice I ever made for my child.

Cheryl is a saint to me. As a single father in a child custody case my initial outlook on my situation was abysmal. My daughter is my life and soul. I felt I had no chance at keeping her with me, giving her the life she deserved. Cheryl fought beyond aggressively for me for 7 long years. She first wo...n me full custody which to me was just unheard of. She then went 1000 steps further and won me the right to relocate to another state to give my daughter the life she deserved after all she had been through. I feel I owe Cheryl a debt I can never repay. She gave me my daughter and she gave me my life back. And on top of that she fought and won to give me the right to relocate to the best place I could imagine to raise my beautiful daughter. Noone in my life has ever been such a powerful influence on my entire future. I cannot ever thank her enough for what she has done for me. Her attention to details, laws and the overall case which spanned 7 years was incredible. If she ever needed an organ transplant I would be the first one on line and I don't say this lightly. If you love your child then please call this woman. She is absolutely incredible and I wouldn't be able to smile today without her. Thank you with all my heart Cheryl Slater!!!!! My daughter thanks you as well.

Diligent and effective

Ms. Cheryl Slater proved to be very knowledgable in the law and a great strategic thinker. You can always depend on her for consistently good advice. Ms. Slater was always personally attentive and diligent in outlining various options for the client to consider. No better partner to help you find y...our way through a complex legal terrain. I highly recommend Ms. Cheryl Slater.

Highest recommendation!

Cheryl was an amazing advocate! I couldn't recommend her more highly. She's exactly who I want by my side and advocating my case. Cheryl sees clearly through to the issues, is extremely efficient with her time, very well prepared, highly responsive and communicates on your behalf with strength and ac...umen. When I asked her how she does it, she replied, "Experience."

A True Champion

Cheryl was firm and took a hard line when it was appropriate yet reasonable and logical when necessary. I would definitely recommend her to my friends. She once said this to me, "It's not about getting what you want.......it's about getting what you can live with."

"Cheryl is my Partner at Farrauto Berman Slater & Michaeli. We met in 2013 as adversaries on a case and immediately respected one another’s abilities as litigators. Cheryl and I have now been partners for many years. I have never had a case with any lawyer who comes close to Cheryl when it comes to the level of advocacy and compassion she exudes. She is quite honestly brilliant. Outside of the legal sector, Cheryl is also the top echelon of people - she is a remarkably dedicated friend and always goes above and beyond for those she cares about. She’s got a unique personality that amalgamates bold, sassy, snarky, genius, boss-lady and best of all, she’s got a heart of gold. I can’t recommend any other lawyer more highly than I recommend Cheryl; I felt that way when I left my former firm to join her practice in 2013 and I still feel that way now. You’re in the best of hands with Cheryl"
