Michael represented me in my complicated employment case. His knowledge, patience, and experience gave me confidence and peace of mind. He always kept me updated in a timely manner. With his expertise and negotiating skills he was able to resolve my case with a positive outcome. My well being was always his first concern.
I highly recommend Michael Ross to help with legal needs. He was a great asset to my case and never stopped helping me through out the process. He stayed in contact with me and let me know what was going on along the way. His obligation towards dedication was on point. He remained focused and accepted any challenge that came about.
Michael Ross grew up on the east side of the Cascades. His first impression of the law came from his father, who was a small town lawyer. The practice of law appeared to be a never-ending grind of client appointments, paper work, and court appearances. Michael had no plans to be a lawyer. In college, Michael majored in mathematics and computer science. However, during his senior year, Michael had a conversation with his father about the parallels between the study of mathematics and the study of law. That conversation is when Michael discovered his passion for the law, both the challenge of the legal analysis and the satisfaction of representing someone in need of an advocate. Michael graduated from law school twenty-five years ago, but his passion for the law and for those needing representation has not diminished.

Problem with the Room-mate from Hell
Michael, helped me with a room-mate who managed to turn the Tenant/landlord rules to his favor. He realized I was in a tough spot and helped me find the quickest and least expensive way to get rid of the room-mate from Hell. I appreciate his Integrity and knowledge. I felt like I wasn't facing this con artist alone and it was a big relief.

A truly stellar attorney!
Michael Ross is a kind, compassionate attorney. He spent 2 hours with me discussing my wrongful termination and is extremely knowledgeable about many aspects of law. Although he was unable to help me with my case, I would not hesitate to refer friends and acquaintances to his firm, and I should I require the services of an attorney again, I will most definitely turn to Slater Ross for help.
