Outstanding Lawyer!

Sandra is an outstanding attorney. She responds quickly, keeps you well-informed at every step, and truly cares about her clients. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I was able to regain custody of my children. I’m incredibly grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone who need...s a strong, reliable lawyer.

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!

Dedicated and Hardworking team

Sandy and her team are not only dedicated to winning but are truly committed to finding every solution possible for the cases they represent. From the start of my case, Sandy asked pertinent questions and began gathering information that was going to help with my child custody case. She helped me fee...l confident through the process and continuously encouraged me to reach out if I had any questions or concerns. She is also amazing with formulating strategies that helped my case. I love that Sandy is an aggressive attorney and that she was willing to work hard in support of me while also letting me know that she truly cares and wants the best for me and my family.

Beast Mode

I want to start off by saying how thankful and appreciative I am for how Sandy and her entire team represented me. For the last four years I have been going through legal battles with my ex over child support and parenting time. I finally had a friend refer me to Sandy and her team this past year. A...fter four long years, I finally feel like I can breathe I wish I would have done my research sooner and found Sandy and her team to represent me sooner because I wouldn’t have had to go through this for how long as I have. My first hearing my ex wanted me to be held in contempt. Sandy fought very aggressively for me, and was extremely professional, even though the other side was not. There was not a single thing that got passed Sandy and that she couldn’t counter. I ended up not being held for contempt, and a fair judgment was passed. Right after that, Sandy and her team were on top of the next case we had to get through for child support. They truly worked as a team, and let me just say it doesn’t matter who represents you during your hearing because they’re going to get the job done. For my child support case, Kristin represented me and she killed it. I got more than what I was expecting, and I just felt like a huge brick was finally lifted off of my back, and the judge passed a fair judgment for my girls and me. I also want to thank Susan, because I know she put in a lot of the legwork to get the right information gathered so that I could get my fair judgment. Overall, I feel that the whole team cared about what I was going through and they wanted to make a wrong right. The whole team made me feel like for once me and my girls come first. They took a lot of stress off of me and again I am so thankful to all of them. If anyone is ever seeking legal counsel, these are the ladies I would refer them to and I would also tell everyone don’t ever go into court without being represented. Words cannot express how impressed I was with all of them. Once again, thank you ladies.

Sandra Slaton

Sandra Slaton is an exceptional attorney and compassionate human being in every way. Not only did she and Kristen get me a divorce settlement that was beyond expectations, her commitment and attention to detail, along with the support of the entire Horne Slaton team, was above and beyond. They real...ly listened and followed through with every aspect of my case. I can’t imagine being in better hands.
