Caring Criminal Attorney

I was referred to Attorney Slider by a mutual friend when my nephew in Jefferson County was arrested for breaking and entering and accessory to grand theft when all he did was unknowingly purchased some lawn equipment for his new business from a former friend that he thought was legitimate. I did not... have money at the time time so Attorney Slider agreed to take on the case pro-bono until I could raise the money for the retainer. During this time he was able to greatly reduce the charges on my nephew. Before court I had only raised $600 which he took and helped my nephew walk on most of the charges. He guided us through getting character letters and references for my nephew as well giving us info on appropriate attire and grooming to where to court. He even donated a necktie. After it was all said and done I ended up paying Attorney Slider another $400 which totaled $1000 total for basically saving my nephew's life. I would recommend Attorney Michael Slider to anyone I know!

Excellent Representation

I decided to seek the Slider law firm after having been charged with a second offense. I knew this was going to be a difficult process since I was already on probation for a felony. Mrs. Sharma kept from having my probation revoked and worked diligently to ensure that all matters were resolved in m...y favor. She never missed a court date and always held an argument against the prosecutor. Her honesty kept me confident and positive throughout tee entire matter. I am greatfull for having hired the Slider Law Firm.

Attorney Michael Slider was a life saver and dispelled any assumptions that I had about attorneys.

I have used the services of The Slider Law Firm twice. They were prompt in their response, honest in their evaluations and expectations, affordable with their fee, and excellent in their results. Not only would I recommend the firm, I have recommended the firm multiple times. I hope to not have an...y more issues that would require service, but if I did, I will definitely be using The Slider Law Firm.

Awesome and caring Attorney

Mr. Slider was hired to represent us in a criminal matter. From day one, he was upfront and honest with us. He didn't sugar coat the truth. If you are a person who doesn't want to hear the truth, you may not not like him. But, if you are facing a criminal charge and possible jail time, you want someo...ne who is going to tell you the cold hard truth. He has been 100% responsive. If I call he answers and takes the time to listen to me even when I get on my soap box and start talking about things that are not related to the case. He answers whether I call during or after office hours. Mr. Slider is compassionate and cares about his clients. Mr. Slider doesn't charge exorbitant fees. He was willing to work with us and within our budget. When we were running short on funds, he understood and continued to represent us. I would recommend Mr. Slider and Ms. Sharma. I hope I never need them again; however, if I ever need legal representation, I will be calling Mr. Slider and Ms. Sharma.

Class B Misdemeanor For Theft

The morning I was bonded out of jail after being charged with a Class B misdemeanor for shoplifting, I started looking for an attorney to represent me. I have never been arrested or been in any kind of legal trouble before, so needless to say I was terrified about what I was going through. A friend o...f mine recommended Cavita Sharma, so I decided to give her a call and set up an appointment. The first thing I noticed about Cavita Sharma and Michael Slider was that they were very upfront and honest with me. They explained to me what exactly I was charged with and ran through all the possible scenarios and outcomes regarding what I was facing (up to 180 days and $2,000 fine). They answered all the questions I had and were very patient with me in terms of setting some sort of a flexible payment plan. Ms. Sharma has shown up to every court date I have had and thanks to her hard work, I am under the pretrial diversion program which means after a year of probation, my case will be dismissed. After two years, I can file for my case to be expunged and it will be erased off my record entirely. I really do recommend both Cavita Sharma and Michael Slider to anyone. Both are very knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy lawyers. I hope I never have to use their services again, but if I do then I know exactly who to go to contact.
