My consultation with Mr.Slayton

This year has been especially difficult for me what with COVID and trying to help my brother who is terminally ill and whose finances are in a shambles due to no fault of his own. Marshall Slayton took valuable time from his schedule to listen to my problems and offered reasonable suggestions for a ...possible solution. It has been very uplifting to find someone who truly cares.

Marshall Slayton was very thorough. The process was quick and painless. I have been thinking about filing for bankruptcy for a while now and I am glad that I picked Marshall Slayton for the process.

Bankruptcy/debt lawyer

Like many, my business and financial situation has been decimated by Covid 19. I recently consulted with Marshall Slayton about my options and how to proceed. Marshall took the time and asked many question in order to get the best understanding of my situation. He spent forty five minutes with me dur...ing my consultation and I never at all felt rushed. He gave me, what I felt was great advice on how to proceed. I am hoping that I will not need Marshal’s services, but if it comes to that, I am completely confident that Marshall can guide me through that process. Thanks again Marshall.

Detailed and Personal Free Consultation

I think from the very beginning of our conversation Marshall knew that filing bankruptcy wouldn't be the best option for my family. With that in mind he still spent over 40 minutes of his time explaining several financial and legal options my family had. He provided detailed scenarios as well as cont...acts to help us if we decided to go down various avenues. I was nervous to meet with a lawyer but can honestly say Marshall was nothing but helpful and kind in our time of need.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
