Caution against hiring

I would caution against using this lawyer in the strongest of ways. His fees are extremely high and similar to a large firm where there are many more support systems. When I disagreed with him, he threatened on a number of occasions to find me a different counsel well over a year into the case. It cl...early felt that money was the most important factor instead of having a relationship with me. After charging me 50% more than what the entire case was worth and 18 months, he dropped me as a client because I could not meet his retainer. I ended up having to hire another attorney who took me to court within two months, who was half the price and genuinely cared about the case. We handedly won the case. I would never use him or his staff again. A seriously bad experience. I could have easily said many more bad things.

Have used him on several occassions

Bobby Slotkin has helped me on a number of business items. I am always impressed with his knowledge, understanding of the issues, and abilities to help me out. When he needs to he is also not hesitant to send you to another attorney if it is not in his sweet spot. I would definitely use him again....

Excellent attorney

We found ourselves in an unbelievable situation where a neighbor attempted to take advantage of a surveyor's mistake to extract an outrageous sum of money from us. It took over two years to resolve the dispute, but Mr Slotkin was patient, professional and diligent in bringing this nightmare to an ac...ceptable conclusion.

Excellent business lawyer and advisor

Bobby has been with us since the beginning with setting up the LLC, giving us great referrals to CPAs, Insurance agents, etc. He's professionally advised us and guided us for over 10 years through various issues and has always provided wise counsel on a timely basis. Bobby is very responsive to eve...ry call, email or text. I feel very confident recommending Slotkin & Caiola.

An outstanding attorney

I retained Mr. Slotkin's colleague Anne P. Caiola for what could have been a nasty lawsuit in Federal Court. However, thanks to the expertise of Ms. Caiola and the considerable advice and counsel contributed by Mr. Slotkin, the matter was swiftly settled out of court and at far less expense than I an...ticipated. A couple of attorneys I have met socially let me know that anyone represented by Bobby Slotkin is "in excellent hands." I could not have said it better.

  • 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.
