Professional, understanding and very resourceful on helping me with my divorce

I used the Slovensky Law firm for my divorce. I looked up lawyers in the surrounding area near Roanoke, and this firm had wonderful 5 star reviews. Those reviews helped me realize this is who I need to help me through my divorce. Mrs. Slovensky helped me every step of the way to understand the proces...s and always so positive in helping me get through this. My ex-husband wanted a very large sum of my retirement plan. She brought in another company to evaluate every part of my plan and lowered the sum substantially!!!! By doing this, I was able to walk away from the marriage not owing him a large sum of money. I would highly recommend this practice to everyone I know!!!! Thank you again Slovensky Law Practice for everything!!!!

Simple the BEST

I contacted Ms Slovensky in April 2019 for help with a divorce and property settlement case. She gave me more help in just 30 minutes than I'd had in two years of struggling with other attorneys, being strung along, getting no help and no answers! She was very easy to talk to, an excellent listener, ...and even took time to research specific answers for me in our first appointment. Her insights were the key that I needed to work out my issues with my ex. And thanks to her, it resolved quickly! After speaking with her, I felt immediate relief and assurance and knew what path I needed to take. The clarity I received from her regarding my situation was a game changer for the better in this complicated situation. I highly recommend her for her honesty and willingness to understand what I was asking and for conveying in a very real and clear manner the answers to my questions! Great communicator. Ms Slovensky was refreshingly different from all the other attorneys I had contacted and highly impressive. I would give her 10 stars if possible.

Responsive, professional and compassionate

I highly recommend Ms. Slovensky as a family law attorney. She responds in a timely manner and cares about her clients. She was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions.

She's an Amazing Attorney

Ms. Slovensky is highly professional and knowledgeable, a fighter who is also compassionate. Those qualities make her an amazing attorney. It's clear she cares about her clients, that her work is much more than a job. Not once did I doubt her judgement. Not once did I feel like I was bothering her wi...th a question. She was always available and sensitive to my needs. She also fought very hard for me. I highly recommend her. Her staff is wonderful, too.

A tough victory!

Always reachable, prompt and timely responses to all of my numerous needs! Staff arenprofessional and easy to communicate with. My specific case was lengthy and loaded with complications and setbacks. At the end of the day she fought for me and my children! We were up against a very tough local att...orney (for which my prior attorney was unsuccessful) but when it was all said and done, the outcome was more than we could have hoped for! Certainly recommended!

  • 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.
