I went to court after getting out of jail because the attorney I paid $5,000 dropped the ball and left me with no direction, zero hope and ready to enter a plea of guilty for something I didn't do.

"I've collaborated with Jamie Slaughter on several cases, and I'm a better lawyer having worked with him. Jamie is well respected in the Travis County Courthouse and is often able to resolve cases for his clients when other Attorneys try and fail. He does a great job communicating with his clients and is able to predict how most cases will turn out when the case is still brand new. I highly recommend Jamie."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jaime Slaughter for many years. I have always known him to be a super-smart attorney who can digest the details of difficult case with ease. He is well regarded with other lawyers, and works hard to get great results for his clients."
"Jamie is an extremely dedicated attorney which enables him to achieve excellent results. As a former felony prosecutor, he has an insight into the strategies that will be used against a defendant. He is also well known and liked within the community which serves him well when negotiating on behalf of his clients. The decision of who to hire as a criminal defense attorney may be one of the most important choices a person will ever make. Without hesitation, I would recommend Jaime's services to anyone looking for help with a criminal law matter. If I needed an attorney, I would certainly call Jaime."
