David B. Sloane

Atty Sloane was retained for a weapons charge on a first time offender. I was never charged in the case, only met and spoke to David Sloane at the time I retained him. He had me sign a "flat-rate contract" which is frowned upon by both the Tarrant County Bar association and the TX Bar Association. ... I did not know at the time. Since then, David Sloane has never once called me to keep me up to date on the case, to let me know anything. His suggestion, to sit and wait it out. It has been two years, and I am assuming I will not be charged in this case. I asked for a return of any unused retainers and he refuses to return anything. From my contact with the Tarrant Bar Association, attorneys should only charge for time and work they actually did on the case. He even admitted that there were no hourly notes or timesheets kept with regards to any work they supposedly performed on this case. They should NOT charge flat rate fees. I have begun my dispute and it will be handled by an arbitration committee. Either way, I believe Attorney David Sloane is untrustworthy when it comes to trying to recoup money for work that was never done.

I was arrested for possession of Marijuana, Called Sloane the moment I knew i needed help. I needed someone who would take action and get me out of a sticky situation. He filed papers and i just waited 3 years for any sign of a court date. Fortunately the charges/case was dropped due to statute of li...mitations. A few months after everything was dropped, i wanted to see if i could get some of the money i paid for him because he did not have to come to my town or do very much at all in those three years. I got in touch with his assistant and she said sorry its a one time fee. David was nice enough to call me back an offer me some of what i paid. He was honest and did his job to the fullest extent i needed. He has blessed me with my life and an even better holiday gift! He will always be my go to guy if im ever in a bad situation. Although i really hope i never have to call him again. Thank you so much for what you did for me i could never thank you enough! God bless!

David Sloane is the most professional, friendly, informed lawyer i have ever had the privilege of hiring as my legal council! He knows the law inside and out, and will bend over backwards to help his clients. I cannot recommend him enough! He has worked miracles for me, and made it seem effortless! I... will always come to David with my legal concerns, recommending him STRONGLY to all my friends and family!

My son was charged with injury to a child. He agreed to watch a toddler while the mother went shopping. The child was asleep when he arrived. When he looked in on her a short while later he noticed she had stopped breathing and called an ambulance. She had a subdural hematoma (crainial bleed) which ...can be caused by what is commonly called "shaken baby syndrome." She has since fully recovered. My son was accused because he was the only one present when the most obvious symptoms appeared. Our first lawyer told my son he had better accept the state's plea-bargain offer of 10 years in prison and we sought a second opinion from David Sloane. For once, somebody believed my son when he said he didn't do this! Mr. Sloane worked tirelessly on my son's case. He conducted extensive discovery my son's first lawyer never did, and most significantly, he spent many hours long into the night in the library at the University of North Texas Health Science Center researching the topic. He found several ground-breaking studies showing that it can often take hours and even days from the time of the injury for symptoms to appear. The Doctor planning to testify for the prosecution informed them she could no longer stand behind her initial opinion my son had done this when presented with these latest medical studies. The state dropped all charges against my son (without apology.) Were it not for David Sloane my son would STILL be in prison! I shudder to think how many innocent people are...
