Posted by Cameron | September 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Best attorney in austin

I was wrongfully accused about 3 months ago and was looking at a long time in prison for something i didnt do, i hired Mr. Slaughter and he was very informative about my situation and how he planned to handle it and honestly i didnt have any hope Mr. Slaughter and Mrs. Nicole kept me on board with al...l that was going on during my case and answered all of the questions i asked, i was about to lose everything but he stuck to his word and did everything possible to get my case dismissed i couldnt thank him enough for what he’s done for my life but the least i can do is tell others about my experience and how hard this man worked for me.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
