Should have stuck with state provided attorney.

I went with Mr Slider on a felony drug charge after deciding to go to trial instead of taking probation which was offered to me with a court appointed attorney. I made installment payments every month, expecting progress on the case. Instead, every time I went to see the judge Mr. Slider or his a...ssociate would end up coming in at the very last minute with an excuse and end up resetting the court date for the next month. During this time I was having to report for UAs and court appearances on avg 4-5 times a month, having to travel 25 miles while Mr. Slider simply collected my check and came in for no more than 5 min a month. I got fed up with this arrangement after about 5 months and decided I was going to take the probation so I could enter treatment. The plan was to set it up where the judge would allow me to enter a treatment program of my choice after startan probation. Mr. Sliders associate ( Ms. Cavita I believe) showed up looking unprofessional, wearing pink sneakers and was in my opinoon timid about approaching the judge about the arrangement. She pressured me to set up the rehab with my probation officer and to go ahead and sign for 2 years of probation. At this point I had been stressing about this for nearly 5 months, was unable to work and getting behind on my mortgage so I didn't want to reset for another month and ended up signing for probation. Another 4 months later, after struggling with my probation officer to enters rehab I called Ms. Cavita to help me get into the program I originally wanted to enter as I was being forced to see the judge to persuade him for my option of treatmentb after my probation officer suggested a 9 month in jail treatment program. She basically told me she couldn't help. Fortunately the court attorney had my back and nearly a year after being arrested I finally got into treatment. I was able to save my house and have now been sober for nearly a year ( with no help from Mr. Slider and his associate). I strongly advise you choose another attorney as I made the mistake of going cheap and got swindled. Lost a lot of time and money through this poor decision.

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.

Extremely grateful to have hired Michael K. Slider and Cavita Sharma

Last summer I had been charged with a Class A misdemeanor for shoving papers in an ex-friend's face while defending my sibling. This ex-friend had blown the whole situation out of proportion and really put me in a bad position. Cavita Sharma reassured me from day 1 that she would have the case dismis...sed and expunged no problem. I felt extremely comforted hiring her, she was very professional and reliable. Anytime I contacted her she would reply as soon as she could. She always kept me up to date and informed of everything that was going on. My case has been dismissed and now expunged thanks to her! I am forever grateful for her help and would recommend her no doubt! She is the best!!!
