Very bad experience
During my consultation, he promised me he would do a lot of things. He might even be able to get my cases dismissed. As time went he never responded to any of my calls and sent an assistant to cover my causes. My payment was made in full. He rarely showed up for court so he sent an assistant th...
I'm not sure if this person has reviewed the correct David Sloane. These facts don't resemble any case that I have had. Withdrawing from a case is not something an attorney can do without satisfying the trial judge by written motion there is good reason for doing so. The fees I charge are very competitive with lawyers with similar experience and aptitude. If a client substantially fails to pay the agreed fees after repeated warnings I will withdraw, just like any attorney. If a client moves with no forwarding address and all mail is returned; he refuses to answer or return numerous phone calls for weeks on end; and fails to respond to numerous emails such that I cannot effectively represent him, I will withdraw. This was the case in the one and only case from which I have withdrawn in the last year. Evidence of which was all presented to the judge at the time of my withdrawal.

Excellence is really hard to find
I’ve done business with David many times. Not only was he always on top of my cases, he handled them at times without me even having to step foot in a court room. I’ve had traffic tickets and David was also able to help me with them. David is very knowledgeable and has seen a lot of cases throughout ...

Hands down the best lawyer in the Dfw metroplex.
David and his staff are excellent in helping you understand everything that is going on. If you want a lawyer to fight for you and not do the bare minimum then David Sloane is the one to contact. I went from having a state jail felony and a class b misdemeanor, to just a class c misdemeanor no felony...

Very Knowledgeable.
David treated my case with the upmost importance and fought with the DA until they seen it our way. Always suggest his services to anyone who is in a similar situation as I was early on this year. Don't hesitate... He's the man.
