Great lawyers

Michael Slider and Sharma were court appointed to my case. From the beginning they said that my case would be dismissed. After many months, court dates, an anger management course, letters, and zoom meetings, I was feeling very nervous that my case would not get dismissed. But Michael and Sharma cont...inued to reassure me and do everything they could to get my case dismissed. And they did!! Five stars because these lawyers did exactly what they told me they would. Now I can get my record expunged!

Cavita Sharma

Ms. Sharma did a wonderful job on an expunction. She was always pleasant and helpful. She went above and beyond completing the requested expunction. I would definitely use again and also refer to others.

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.

Thank God I hired Mr. Slider

I was involved in Misdemeanor Harrassment case and he walked me through the entire process. From Bail to court. He was strategic and communicated exceptionally well. The criminal process is frustrating and difficult, but he explained how it would work and what he would attempt to do. I was given ...a Pre-Trial Intervention and it was removed from my record.
