Stephen Gordon Slater

Hired this attorney without looking him up online. The negative aspects of reviews that were only gleaned after signing his fee agreement are absolutely true. If you enjoy being ignored and disrespected by your lawyer and staff; he's your guy. Once you sign the fee agreement you'll be entirely SOL.... Keep looking and interviewing potential legal representation carefully before choosing your champion. Clients deserve better treatment than this practice is patently capable of offering. Had I known that he'd been reprimanded for professional misconduct before hiring him you wouldn't be reading this review. Caveat Emptor! (Latin for "Let the Buyer Beware!")

I felt that Mr Slater was a decent attorney. I cant say that I was completely satisfied. I feel like he in many cases went with the easy resolution rather then fighting for what I wanted and could legally have with some negotiating. My biggest issue is that I was not kept informed with what was goin...g on in my case. We only met once outside the court house and he didn't take enough time to understand my position on many issues. In between hearings I would get court papers no human contact. When I did call him to clarify the documents I was often told its just a formality don't worry about it. I feel that he will do what he has to do, although if you are looking for someone who will truly work with you and and take the time to fight for you then he may not be your best bet. If you have an easy separation and just need someone to be there for paperwork then he is great.
