The best family law firm

Sandy is a winner, a supporter, and an amazing person. Sandy, and SlatonRoebuck Firm all together, got me through a very tough divorce and a very toxic custody battle. Sandy held my hand in each step of the way. They are always available, responsive, and prompt. The firm is super responsive, professi...onal, and flexible. Sandy is highly experienced and intelligent. She was dedicated and determined to get me the desired outcome and she led the way to a successful finish line. I cannot recommend them more. They are the best. The pair of Sandy and Kristin is just perfect and they are equipped with a great team of experienced paralegals.

A Lawyer you can count on!

Attorney Slaton is an excellent lawyer! She is easy to talk to. She makes you comfortable in expressing your concerns. She explains things in a way her client understands. There is no question too big or too small to ask. Her integrity combined with her knowledge of the law makes her a perfect c...hoice for me. I really appreciate her and she has never failed me! I never felt like I had to make decisions alone. I feel safe and confident with her by my side to lead. I love it that she is always reachable. That is important to me. Thank you Attorney Slaton for helping me through some of the most difficult times of my life.

Wonderful Attorney

I have had nothing but a great experience with this firm. My case is undoubtedly one of the most complicated that Sandy has tackled in her lengthy career, but she has handled it with empathy, grace and attention to detail. I have consulted and hired many attorneys who quickly became overwhelmed with ...the twists and turns that this case has taken, but not Sandy! Sandra Slaton is determined to ensure justice for victims of Domestic Violence and to ensure children are protected. I am so grateful I found this firm and to have Sandy on my side!

The best!

I hired Sandy when I was a freshman in college in 2013 when I got in some trouble. She was always there for me, truly cared, and got me a great deal. I have had to contact her to ask miscellaneous questions through the years and she was always happy to help and never forgot about me or the details of... my case even many years later. Fast forward 10 years and she got my case sealed away now that Arizona allows this to happen! She has always been great and I owe a lot to her and would recommend her to anyone! Truly the best! If you want someone who will truly look out for you and your best interest, Sandy is the one!

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.
