A blessing during a difficult time

Divorce is difficult and emotional enough without the added stress second guessing your representation. I knew of Gary's reputation through a friend that hired him for a separation. From the beginning, he was calm, steady, direct, responsive to our (mine and my now ex-husband's) unusual circumstan...ces and was very considerate about my requests, while also giving me his legal perspective on those matters. I could not have been in better hands during the most challenging time in my life. Our divorce was amicable, but if it had taken a turn I knew I was still going to be with the best possible representation. His para-legal, Kim is fantastic as well. A great team.

Dignity and class

Gary helped me through my divorce. It was paramount to me that all proceedings were to be handled with the utmost respect, class and dignity. Which he did beyond my expectations. At the end of the proceedings even the opposition and their attorney recognized Gary's work. I found him to be knowledgabl...e, insightful, pragmatic, and above all, professional.

It has been many years since I sought services but to this very day I am still grateful for the ones I received from Mr. ...Slater , his staff and associates.

Divorce Lawyer for a Lawyer

I am a lawyer who needed a lawyer for my divorce. I practiced in a different field, so I asked around for recommendations. Gary Slater's reputation was that he was knowledgable, thorough and easy to work with. My experience was that he did what was necessary, efficiently and civilly. I would undoub...tedly go back to him if I needed help in any of the areas he practices.
