I handle all matters in Real Estate, Family Law, Business Law, Insurance Defense, and general Civil Litigation.


My focus is on civil trial practice. Over the course of my career I have focused on civil cases involving automobile negligence, premises liability, landlord-tenant law, medical negligence, wrongful death, family law, real estate and contract law. I pride myself on offering each case my undivided attention and aggressive representation.

I was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1999 and began acting as Chief Corporate Counsel for Command Medical Products, Inc., a local medical device manufacturer. In 2002 I joined the Cranshaw Law Firm and focused the majority of my time on defense work for the State of Florida and general liability defense for several insurance carriers.  I opened my own practice in February of 2008 and have maintained that practice since then.

I am licensed to practice before Florida county, circuit and appellate courts, and regularly engage in mediation and arbitration of civil matters. I am also admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Florida, and the United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Judicial Circuit.

I take pride in the personal, hands-on service that I have always provided to my clients. Every client is treated with courtesy, respect and dedication. Clients are constantly updated as to the status of their cases and are consulted throughout the entire litigation process with regards to any major decisions or expenditures.

An outstanding Attorney
Michael Slick listened intently as my husband and I told him about a contrator who refused to pay our judgement settlement against him. Within a half hour, Michael had prepared legal papers, and called the plaintiff's lawyer to advise of his actions. Within two weeks, we received a settlement check. We then fully understood why we needed the services of a competent lawyer.

Professional, Trustworthy, Knowledgeable - THE BEST!!!!
Let me start by saying that I am an anxious person and Michael found that out at our first meeting. He was understanding and veeeeery patient and he told me that under the circumstances that's totally normal. He also said that I don't have to worry anymore that he will help me and my family during this difficult time, and he did. We didn't have to deal with any of the headaches and stress that go along with this type of situation. He took care of everything and for that we will forever be so, so grateful to him. I would also like to say that my family and I appreciated very much the fact that he would return all our phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. He was always available to answer all our questions, address all our concerns and helped us understand everything regarding our case. Michael Slick is professional, trustworthy and very competent, but most of all he really cares about his clients. I can honestly say that if there were more people like Michael, the world would be a better place, and I can never thank him enough for everything he did for us, for all his hard work and for his friendship. There are angels among us, and if anyone needs an angel with a law degree I would not hesitate even for a second to recommend them to Michael Slick. I know the kind of service he gives and I can assure you would not be disappointed. HE IS THE BEST!!!!

Snyder vs Irving
Mr. Slick was a well versed lawyer, he took my case knowing that we could find a way to win because the accused had done wrong. It was a long an lengthy process. With many ups and downs but Mr. Slick managed to get the job done and come to a good deal without the lengthy process of going to cort.

Honest, Professional, Affordable
We needed an attorney for mitigation. We had never gone through this before and didn't know what to expect. Michael was honest and professional, and we appreciated his sense of humor so we didn't feel so overwhelmed. He worked with us and fought our case with the other attorney, and came to an agreement so it did not go further to trial. We highly recommend him. He is an outstanding attorney!

High recommendation for Mr. Michael Slick, my lawyer.
Mr. Michael Slick was hired by me to be the representative in selling half of a house that was left to me by my dad. My brother was left the other half. Mr. Slick was most helpful in there being an agreeable closing in a short period of time that met my requirements. I highly recommend him to others. I found him trustworthy to handle the selling of my half of the house and represent me as I requested. He, also, had others involved that worked well together to help with the selling. I would hire Mr. Slick again if I needed his services. Thank you, Michael.

Experienced Trial Attorney!
Our business retained Mr. Slick to represent us in a civil lawsuit which involved both a claim and counter-claim. He was very insightful, yet attentive to our concerns while keeping us focused on the essential facts of our case. We were very pleased with his expertise as it was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process which yielded positive results for our business. Mr. Slick is an excellent attorney and we would highly recommend him as his professionalism is second to none.

Absolutely amazing lawyer!!
Michael addressed my case, a judgment from long ago, with extraordinary detail and precision. The amount of case law he went way out of his way to determine and document in support of my case exemplified the best one could ever hope to find when acquiring a lawyer. Since it is the truth, and he deserves this credit, I would have happily written this even had we not won the case. But his choice to go well beyond the call of duty and what was asked of him thankfully provided a win. I simply cannot recommend Michael enough.

DEBT RESTRUCTURING, NEGOTIATING ON MY BEHALF
The property I mortgaged was foreclosed and bank went after me for deficiency. The liens were placed on my other properties and bank was about to reposes and liquidate them. Mike has negotiated the unbelievably favorite settlement for me in terms of amount and the term of payments. FAST, EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE!

That (seemingly) rare creature, an honest lawyer.
Between my work and his we had trouble connecting the day I first contacted his office. He left his mobile number in a voicemail and said to contact him that evening after business hours. I explained the problem I was having with my landlord - had been having for a couple of months - and Mr. Slick said, "Call me back when you're served an eviction notice." Two weeks later I was, and I did. Two days after that he'd filed a motion for dismissal and discussed the matter with opposing counsel, who had to admit his client was wrong and made a deal, to my advantage and my (now ex-) landlord's detriment. Michael Slick is an experienced, knowledgeable, talented, and accomplished attorney. I recommend him without reservation.

Awesome Guy

Wonderful lawyer
I had called Michael just for a quick question because I had about forty five minutes until sheriff came for the writ of possession. My landlord was breaking the law and getting away with it because he accepted our money after the first notice. The sheriff wrote the wrong date on my copy of eviction papers so when we tried to pay clerk they told us it was to late. Multiple different reasons we shouldn't have been getting evicted were clear but somehow courts were letting this man get away with it. I was in tears and hadn't packed a thing scared I was about to lose everything with a newborn and a two year old. This man took my case pro bono and helped me within seconds of the sheriffs coming. He pulled strings for a girl he didn't even know and had this man stopped. I've never been so grateful in my life.

HIGHLY Recommend and here is why...
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for listening to all of my inquisitions and helping me navigate through this convoluted mess. Seriously no way I could have done it without you and also kept my sanity without botching things up. You have been and will continue to be my primary reference for other seeking property law advice. Your responsiveness to email and phone calls was instantaneous. Your flat rate for short sale and foreclosure representation gave me the freedom to get your opinion and advise through every step of the process without feeling like I was eating into a retainer. I like your honesty and realistic expectations on the process to ease my concerns. #1 on my list of phone calls if I need any consulted or hired services regarding property law.

Smart, decisive, and respected attorney.
We canceled a real estate purchase contract during our due diligence period, however the seller chose to interfere with the return of our deposit from the closing company by not signing the cancellation of contract form. In fact the seller demanded the entire deposit be paid to him! This might have forced a court case (interpleader). Not being particularly knowledgeable about the law, we asked Michael to review our situation. His review, vindicated our right to cancel the agreement within the timeframe, for any reason. His call to the listing agent resulted in a prompt reversal of the seller's refusal to sign the document. Our interaction with Michael was excellent. He reviewed the appropriate documents, came to a conclusion about the situation, explained what he felt was the appropriate course of action (including advising us to not yield to the seller's demands), and then contacted the appropriate parties in an attempt to resolve the matter. Obviously, his opinion was respected by the seller or his agent as the obstruction was immediately withdrawn. We were not "shaken down" for our deposit, when we we in the right, and we avoided costly litigation. We were very impressed with Michael.
