A consummate professional

From the day we walked into Mr. Slayton's office, we were treated courteously and professionally. He immediately made us feel at ease and explained each step we would go through in our bankruptcy proceeding. We were told the cost at the beginning, so there were no surprises concerning what we would... have to pay. When we got to Court, the proceedings went very smoothly, because he was completely prepared. We would definitely recommend him to any of our friends.

Five Star Attorney

My family attorney highly recommended Mr. Slayton to me. My free consultation went well. Filing Chapter 7 was right course of action. The process and his team are well organized. Mr. Slayton is a great attorney. I'm thankful to have selected him to represent me. He is amazingly skilled & professional.... I truly appreciate his dedication, guidance and caring. My case was Discharged and closed. I'm grateful that I'm getting my life back on track! He was there for me, and will be for you! I highly recommend him. Thank you again Mr. Slayton.

Overwhelmed and Relieved

I met with Mr. Slayton 2 times about Debt collection issues and Bankruptcy options for myself and one of my daughter. In the course of the FREE consultation with Mr. Slayton, we received an honest professional guidance in a courteous manner: we felt deeply relieved and empowered by the options Mr. S...layton came up with. There was no pressure at all, just excellent and clear legal advice. Consequently, we were able to make the right decision and get out of legal troubles in a short time. Working with Mr. Slayton and his staff was more than a positive experience. It was reassuring and comfortable. Thank you.

Awesome Attorney

Mr. Slayton was very upfront and honest with me from the beginning which I liked. The process didn't take months it was just a few weeks and everything was done.

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Slayton is highly competent and is a true expert in bankruptcy. He cares about the well-being of his clients and makes the entire process easy. I am an attorney and I considered trying to file my own bankruptcy; I am so glad that I didn't. The (extremely reasonable) fee charged by Mr. Slayton was... well worth it. He kept me informed, anticipated future contingencies, and his manner put me completely at ease. My case went much more quickly than I thought it would, and being represented by Mr. Slayton removed almost all the stress involved in the process. Highly recommend.

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.
