Dennis Marston Slate

I found myself the target of a false CPS allegation and knew I needed a lawyer to help me clear my name and ensure my relationship with my children. I went for a consultation with Ms Dannielle Simms and within five minutes of sitting down with her, I was sure she was THE ONE. Her vast knowledge of th...e CPS process helped me to feel at ease. She told me like it is, instead of what she thought I wanted to hear and I greatly appreciated that. Ultimately, the allegations were Ruled Out and Ms Simms was able to get my “Role Removed”, meaning I am once again a complete stranger to CPS. During the whole CPS process I also had to retain her to represent me in a frivolous Modification brought against me. Again, no promises were made, only complete honesty about the situation. Ms Simms was extremely aggressive and gave me specific instructions on what she needed from me of which I did my best to do. Thanks to her extensive Family Law knowledge and pure professionalism the tables were turned and I was able to right the wrongs my original Divorce Lawyer made during my divorce several years ago. From the minute I walked through the door for the first time I was treated with nothing but the utmost respect. Everyone I encountered at this firm is amazing and they do their jobs very, very well. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will pamper you and blow smoke up your ass you might want to go elsewhere. If you’re looking for a lawyer that’s 50 percent Pitbull, 50 percent genius and 1000 percent BADASS then look no further, Ms Dannielle Simms and the whole crew at this firm have you covered. THANKS DANNIELLE! YOU’RE A ROCKSTAR!

Dad filed emergency restraining order right during the holiday season and was given a court date the first week in January. I was in a lurch. I was recommended to Mr. Slate's office, by another well rated lawyer who said that he is the one she's lost to. I was able to get a consultation with an assoc...iate of Dennis, but was able to retain him. He has a great court presence and will speak up for you. I was an out of towner, but trusted that they could represent me in my absence where the judge allowed. He the go-to lawyer, before you do anything! The team is great and professional and understand the family court. I don't wish this on anyone, but if you have to, use this team!

I hired Mr. Slate and his team Nov 2016 to modify possession for my 11 year old daughter. As of Dec 2017 my case is closed and my 12 year daughter is happy and safe. Slate is great at what he does - he moved quickly and we had temporary orders signed by a judge within days - he has a hell of a reputa...tion in Harris County. Pack your patience and trust the process. Do not hire him if you are looking for compassion or a therapist to feel sorry for you and your situation - he is not that guy. He is about the facts and knows Texas family law. He is a beast. Just remember he and his team have zero emotional attachment to you, your kids, or your spouse's situation therefore don't expect them to "feel" for you - their job is to win your case and do right by your kiddos- that's it, not "feel". He and his team will tell you like it is, and shoot it straight. His assistant is great as well. Like i said, pack your patience and get in line because you are not the only one. For what its worth I would hire Mr. Slate again:)I didn't have any invoicing issues and felt the billing was fair and just. *The opposing counsel on my case said "they hired the right guy"

My wife and I took our daughter in for help and got the tables flipped on is but Dennis help get things straightened out. He was always upfront with us and keep us in the loop.CPS didn't stand a chance. CPS lied and tried to pull some completely shady stuff. Dennis owns the court room and demands jus...tice based on facts not beliefs or opinions from unqualified people.

In December 2016, my husband and I hired Dennis Slate and his staff due to a CPS case and both our ex spouses pulling some very shady moves. This all started in August 2016 with CPS and we abided by each and every "demand" they instructed us to do. It seemed each week, there was something new they no...w "required" us to do, even though we did EVERYTHING before their deadline. They even told us their "agreement" we had to sign trumped both of our divorce orders. We got TIRED of the back and forth because no matter what we did, they added more to it. So, on December 22, 2016, we went into Slate's office, sat down with him and knew after being in his office for 30 seconds, he was going to help us fight CPS as well as fight for custody of our kids. My husband and I had almost lost all hope with any and all attorneys until we had that consultation meeting with Dennis and Dannielle. Dennis is a "I'm going to tell you like it is" type of attorney, which we loved because we didn't feel he was just after our money. Is he pricy? Yes, but there is no dollar amount that's too much when it comes to fighting an agency who does NOT do things in the "best interest or safety of the children," and no dollar amount that's too much when it comes to fighting against your ex and winning! My husband's ex wife tried to get any and all parental rights removed and no geographical restrictions on where she could live with the children. Well, on January 12, 2017, she lost that hearing and after her keeping the kids away from us for 15 weeks, the judge ruled in our favor where she was ORDERED to not EVER pull the crap she pulled again. Long story short, in August 2017, we were granted custody of the children, changing custody from their mom to my husband and me. So, now she sees the girls for 2 hours on Thursdays and every 1st, 3rd, 5th weekends and that is ALL thanks to Dennis, Dannielle and Shailey. All 3 of these attorney's are no nonsense and will go to battle for you in court and outside of court. In my case, I also got things for my son that I wanted and ex husband had to stop the shadiness he was trying to pull with him. We pray we will never need an attorney ever again, but if we do, SLATE LAW OFFICE will be the only law firm we will hire. They are top notch, know the law and will fight for you, your kids and your family! CPS is a joke who only tries to make families feel bad for actual parenting - when CPS hears you have hired Dennis Slate's firm, they real quick bring their investigation to a close because they know they have nothing, have done wrong and know Dennis, Dannielle and Shailey will show them up in court! I will recommend Slate Law Firm to anyone needing an attorney. He and his staff will fight for you and win! Trust us... we were at our darkest but they slowly helped us see the light and in the end, the darkness was on our enemies - not us. Thank you Slate Law Firm for all you did for us, our kids and our family! We will forever be grateful for you!
