Highly Trusted Member of Our Team

Mr. Slaughter’s ability to manage the small details while keeping the big picture mind has kept him at the top of our company’s list for decades. He communicates not only the strengths of our legal matters, but our weaknesses as well. This ability to give us realistic expectations has served us well....

Competent, Confident, Caring and Professional Legal Support

When my company became an unwitting party in the midst of a devastating breach of contract dispute on a large federal project, involving a much larger general contractor and multiple surety companies, David provided the best possible legal support and consultation under the circumstances. His respon...ses were swift, to the point, and of great aid in making critical decisions about the legal issues involved. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance regarding matters of this type.

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.
