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.

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!!!

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.
