1Professional, Compassionate, and Worth Every Penny

​Facing a felony and potential prison time is a terrifying experience, but Katie and Jon Slager made me feel at ease from day one. They were honest about the reality of my situation without giving me unreasonable expectations, but they provided the confidence I needed to move forward. ​The advice th...ey gave me helped me make amends proactively and kept me focused on positive actions while waiting for court. They even successfully negotiated to have my bond conditions reduced, which made a massive difference in my daily life and mental health. ​Thanks to their skill and deep professional relationships within the court system, they negotiated a deal with the DA to retire my case. I’m now looking at a completely clean, expunged record in a year. Katie came highly recommended, and now I know why. I can’t thank Katie, Jon, and Madison enough for their support. If you’re in a tough spot, this team is worth every penny—they truly gave me my life back.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Slager represented me on a case in April 2017. He was outstanding and explained my options for settling the case where I could understand! I would highly recommend him as an attorney!

GOOD ATTORNEY. EXPLAINS THINGS WELL

I met with Jon for me free consultation on a criminal case. I did not hir ehim immediately because I wanted to shop around on prices. Jon's prices were competitive and his knowledge and ability to convey the issues of my case to me were excellent. He helped me obtian a good resolve and I would hir...e him in the future.

Good office staff and prompt attention

I met with a couple of lawyers and ended up hiring Jon to represent me. He explained all of my options and told me the good and the bad about my case. It wasn't easy getting the deal I wanted and we actually had to set my case for trial before the DA came around. In the end I got what I wanted an...d was glad I chose Jon.

Excellent criminal defense

I hired him in a criminal case. Jon met with me several times and walked me through everything so I knew what to expect. At the end of the day he got my case retired. I hope I never need him again but if I do i would go back to Jon.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
