Beyond Grateful

I am so grateful I chose Mr. Slama to help my family get through this divorce and custody battle. He knew what was going to happen before it transpired and walked me through the process so confidently. The office assistants and Laurie were also very professional and informative. I couldn't have b...een part of a better team. I have and will forever encourage my family / friends to Attorney Slama's Office for any legal advice or assistance. He is the best at what he does!

The best lawyer money can buy!!!!

Robert Slama helped me get through a real ugly custody battle. Robert held my hand and was upfront and honest about my situation. He didn't make me any promises he could not keep. My daughter was being kept away for me by a bitter woman. I was not able to see my child. Although it was a lengthy proce...ss but it was worth it. In the end I went to mediation and with Robert Slama guidance I was able to get shared custody of my 4 year old. His staff was always responsive to my questions and so was he. I am grateful that I chose Robert Slama represent me. L

Great Results

Best I could hope for ! I used this Lawyer for my divorce, the outcome was better than i thought it would be, i got more visitation with with my children than people were telling me i would get, i didnt have to pay life time alimony like people said i would have to, and i was not sued for my ex ...wifes attorneys fees like people said i would be ( she tried but didnt win ) . This guy is very good in court , he represented me very well and i felt i was treated with justice .
