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 seek...ing 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.

Michael is my hero

Some heroes where capes this guy carries a brief case... In my book he is a hero I was going to lose my home he took my call 4:37 on Thursday afternoon to write in order he hand-delivered to the judge 9 AM the next morning, some of you might know this exceptional practice for most lawyers these days...... Michael is a gentleman and an exceptional professional please do yourself a favor hire this lawyer if you need anything done.

An Outstanding, Talented, Smart Attorney!

I had a very difficult real estate situation (short sale). I also had a foreclosure case open at the same time. I tried to sell the property twice before without success. The house went into foreclosure. It was a mess and I was stressed by the situation. After talking to Attorney Slick, he was ab...le to put my mind at ease. He did this by explaining the "big picture" . He provided a variety of solutions and outcomes. I was continuously updated throughout the process of both transactions. My email and phone messages were always returned in a timely manner. He patiently answered all of my questions. By these actions, Attorney Slick let me know that I am not just another case but an individual. It was great to have someone so intelligent and professional on my side. Thank you
