Highly recommend Erika F Daneman Slater!

Erika was a trusted adviser. She was extremely effective at guiding me through a difficult process where making smart family-related decisions was critical. Her response time is top notch! I always felt like I was in good hands.

I highly recommend Erika for your divorce needs

Erika was my divorce attorney for 2 years and she helped me tremendously. My divorce was quite the headache. We were always having to change terms in my agreements, have meetings, and file papers. I asked an endless amount of questions and I'm pretty sure I contacted her at least 5 times a week. She ...never seemed to mind and was always there for me when I needed her. She became a friend, not just my attorney. She even gave me some tough love when she thought I wasn't thinking of my best interests. She's one of the best. And though I hope I'll never need another divorce attorney again, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Erika Daneman Slater

When I hired Erika Daneman Slater, I was in complete distress and felt as if the world was crashing down on me as I was in need of a strong, powerful, dominate attorney. When I found Mrs. Slater I knew that I as well as my children were in good hands. Through my emotional roller coaster, she showed h...er utmost strength, took to my case with grace and pushed me through one of the most trying times in my life. She is extremely intelligent, knows her material and yet shows nothing but compassion and sympathy for you as a human being. There was never a time that she did not respond to my emails, phone calls, etc in an untimely fashion even if it was something small. There was no such thing as a stupid question or concern. She handles herself professionally and tries to see the good in every scenario that you throw her way. Everything that I asked for was handled professionally and willingly even if she felt I was in the wrong. I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience then what she gave to me and if I ever need anything in the future, hands down she will be the one that I seek to do business with. she made me feel great about myself in my time of need and for that, I will always be appreciative. Believe me when I say that she will fight for you in every way possible and it would be foolish to not contact her in your time of need in a child custody matter.

Very helpful and helped a bad situation turn into better one

Erika handled my seperation/divorce and was very responsive and answered all questions that I had. She fought hard for me and I ended up walking out with a lot more than I could have. When my ex-wife's lawyer was not answering any phone calls, emails, or letters; she stayed on top of things and was... very persistent since I was under a time constraint. I would reccommend Erika to anyone... I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

I Highly Recommend Erika Slater!

My family came to Erika in a very serious state of desperation concerning the custody of my daughter. From the very first consultation, Erika spent an extensive amount of time going over the facts and details of the case.She went above and beyond doing whatever she could to yield my family a favorabl...e result. Most importantly, she truly cared. She cared about what was in my daughter’s best interest. She was fair, dedicated and honest. She always showed empathy and compassion, but she never sugar-coated our chances even when at times it seemed things may not go in our favor, and she never sugar-coated the law. My family and I are eternally grateful to Erika, and would recommend her without hesitation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It is no surprise that the reviews for Ms. Slater indicate that she provided her client's with reassurance and comfort. I worked with Ms. Slater where she represented the children in a highly contentious divorce case. She focused on the children's needs without letting the parents or their attorneys sway her opinion without substantial evidence. Ms. Slater objectively listened to both parents and worked very hard on behalf of the children. She is knowledgeable about the law. I highly recommend this attorney and look forward to working with her in the future."
