Custody case

Mr Slone represented me in my custody/child support case. He was awesome and prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had regarding the process!

Expert legal help when you need it.

When I needed expert legal help for a local DUI matter, Mr. Franklin really came through for me. He is very knowledgeable of the Maryland legal system, and especially the local court system. I certainly can recommend others seeking strong legal defense representation, consider hiring Mr. Franklin a...s their attorney.

Winning!

Sloane was recommended to me from a Police Officer friend who kept seeing him in court winning. My friend said, "the next time your ex takes you to court you gotta use Sloane"...and I'm so glad I did! I have to admit I was concerned initially because my court cases were both in Harford County and... Sloane works in Anne Arundel County...but I have to say, I was happily surprised! The judges, the courts everyone involved in Harford County respected Sloane and had no issue with him being an out of county attorney. Sloane was aggressive and won both the custody AND the child support cases in Harford County.
