Excellent Abogado

Hace tiempo que conozco a Carlos. Fue recomendado por varios amigos que recibieron excelente representacion. Asi mismo, al momento que me represento a mi, recibi un trato como ningun otro. Estuvo a mi disposicion a todas horas y me contesto todas mis preguntas con detalle. Al fin, recibi mucho mas de... lo que hubiera esperado! Lo recomiendo con la Mejor confianza. Super excelente abogado!

Great Injury Attorney

Mr. Slack-Mendez represented me in a complex personal injury case and he did not try to convince me to accept an offer he did not think was reasonable. He clearly was willing to invest his time on my case and fearlessly fought for me. He got me much more than what they wanted to pay. I’m sure the ...insurance companies know he is not a “pushover” type of attorney.

RETIRED FIRE CHIEF/LICIENCED CONTRACTOR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A BITTER CONSTRUCTION DESPUTE WITH NO HELP IN SIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE END FOR ME . CHARLIE CAME TO MY RESCUE LIKE MY SAVIOR . CHARLIE IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE IN CRIMINAL LAW,CONSTRUCTION LAWS AND SO MANY OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS. I HAVE BEEN VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING HIM TO MANY P...EOPLE FOR MANY PROBLEMS THEY MAY HAVE . I STILL COUNT ON HIM FOR ANY LEGAL PROBLEMS AND IF HE DOES NOT HAVE THE ANSWER , HE VERY CORDIALLY AND PROMPLY CALLS YOU BACK WITH THE RIGHT ANSWER.

Great DUI attorney

I've known Charles since 2009 when I first hired him to represent me on my first DUI charge. I find him to be a very skilled attorney with a lot of defense case experiences throughout the valley. My first DUI case lasted only two months due to a delay with the BAC blood test result. Realizing this d...elay and missing evidence was potentially violating a speedy trial, Charles ultimately made a decisive action and requested a motion to dismiss. The judge considered the delay and approved the motion to dismiss. My second DUI charge occurred in June of 2019 in Phoenix and without any hesitation, I quickly contacted his law firm for an appointment. I didn't want to waste any time shopping around for a DUI attorney when I already know he's dependable and charges a reasonable rate. He quickly called me Monday morning to hear my situation. We eventually met in person to discuss my incident in details and moved forward with my case. Once we received the discovery, he carefully analyzed it and looked into every possible option. He created a plan and made multiple requests for the prosecutors to drop the charge. However, due to the severity of my DUI case, which contained additional charges, he strategically negotiated with them to reduce the charges. The plea bargain was a super deal and I was very satisfied. Going through this was pretty tough, but Charles was always there for me whenever I had questions or concerns. He always responded quickly whenever I had a question. He felt like an older brother that truly cared about my situation. I don't expect to get any other DUI charges in the future, but if I need him to represent on anything else, I'll be sure to go to him again!

Charles is an absolute pleasure to work with! He listened, asked the right questions to understand our needs and was very prompt to act knowing the urgency of our case. I felt confident he had our best interest and understood the sensitively of the approach we needed. I would highly recommend... Slack-Mendez Law Firm to anyone in need of a great Attorney!
