I received the assistants from Dennis Slate 3 years ago for my original case. The Slate team was very effective in resolving my case and provided great feedback and advice throughout my case. I returned nearly 3 years later to receive assistance once again to end my child support. I utilized the help... from Shailey Gupta-Brietzke her and the rest of her team not only successfully ended my child support but answered all my questions and concerns in a very timely manner.

I had consults with a few lawyers before choosing Shailey. I had another Attorney who was out of district recommend her. Shailey is very attentive, professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and responsive. Shailey and her legal assistant were always on top of my case and made sure to explain/answer any ...questions or concerns I needed address. The one thing that highlighted Shailey the most was her knowledge in family law. She's knows the law like the back of her hand. She is reasonable and straight forward with all situations. She doesn't sugar coat any information. She is prepared AHEAD of time. Not a day before. Shailey takes her job very seriously and stick by her clients in a point of law. I would recommend her over and over again for any family law matter. My case was child support and she accomplished everything I asked for. Just do a consult with her and you will see why she is a great fit for you.

I was looking for a family law attorney to assist with terminating my child support obligation. I had been paying child support through the Attorney General’s office by a Wage Withholding Order. When my eldest child graduated from high school, the AG’s office did not reduce my child support as they s...hould have. I tried contacting them by phone and mail for months to no avail. In the meantime, I was only a few months away from my youngest child graduating high school, and I was fearful that the lack of efficiency in the AG’s office would result in my paying child support on both children for far longer than necessary. In desperation, I contacted Mr. Slate’s office, and they introduced me to Shailey Gupte-Brietzke. Shailey was absolutely wonderful. She immediately understood what I had been up against. She contacted the AG’s office and was able to determine that yes, I had over-paid for my eldest child. She had that credit applied to what I owed on my youngest child, and she was actually able to have them cancel the Wage Withholding Order sooner than I had anticipated. What I had been unsuccessful in doing in months on my own, Shailey managed to accomplish - and more - within just a few days. She was so kind, understanding, and friendly; but what really makes her stand out is her knowledge of Texas family law and her ability to navigate through the red tape. I cannot thank her enough!

I was awarded $2.1 million in damages from my ex, along with Primary Custody of my daughter. My ex now pays me child support, and was ordered to pay my legal fees. Slate Law filed a motion for enforcement on my current order and my ex was held in contempt. My case included False abuse claims, CPS i...nvolvement, Parental Alienation, Slander, Libel and the team at Slate Law was able to sort through it all. When we went to court, Dennis Slate knew the facts of my case better than I did. Trust me, I went through 5 different lawyers before I found Mr. Slate. I learned the hard way, but this Law Firm did everything they said they would do, and I was billed honestly, and fairly. Don't be fooled by the practical style and location of the office. If you want to overpay for a "Big-City Do Nothing Lawyer" with a fancy office, you are in the wrong spot. If you want to walk into the court room and get the real results that you deserve, then make the drive to Deer Park and hire Slate Law!
