Cliff I. Nelson, Attorney at Law

Since 1979, I have recommended many people to Gary for his legal services. He has always made me happy and proud when the people who I referred come back to me and tell me thank you for the reference. His knowledge and expertise in the law is outstanding and I am very proud to be able to know hi...m. I look up to him in many ways, not only as an individual, but for his joy for life and how he has lived it. His name card is in with my estate planning paperwork.

Honest and Trustworthy

Mr. Slater and his staff were very helpful and supportive during my divorce and child support issues. Mr. Slater took the time to explain the issues and reasons for all the in's and out's of my divorce so that I could understand and make informed decisions. Mr. Slater was very prepared going to cou...rt and the judge even acknowledged the fact. Mr. Slater made sure that the divorce was fair, that my rights were always represented and that my children's well being was always the highest priority. I have recommended Mr. Slater to several friends throughout the years and I will continue to do so.

Excellent Attorney

I wanted to take this opportunity to write this review on behalf of my attorney Gary Slater. Gary has provided his professional assistance to me on multiple occasions and I give him my highest recommendation. Gary is a true professional and I feel his legal guidance is the best around. Gary is highly... detailed but also provides a personal touch which is appreciated. I truly feel lucky to have found him and I am thankful for his help!

Excellent Divorce and Custody Attorney

Gary worked with me and my wife for over a year and a half on our very difficult and emotional custody battle to obtain legal adoption of our two sons from my wife's prior marriage to a hostle and physically abusive ex-husband. Gary was successful in obtaining the agreement for me to legally adopt o...ur sons which was and is the greatest joy in me and my wife's life! Gary was very professional, compassionate and tenacious in our case. His knowledge of the law, along with his very effective strategic application of law is what helped to win this case for us. I HIGHLY recommend Gary for divorce and related issues surrounding divorce, custody and adoption, he is a truely outstanding Attorney and very ethical in all areas.

Honest and Knowledgable

Today Mr. Gary Slater is moving his office several blocks away but yet squeezed me into his busy schedule. I have a very complicated divorce that has been mis-handled and is very behind schedule. He spent hours listening to me and going over my case. Although, because of his move and other case l...oad, he is unable to represent me he did not let me leave without 5 attorney's to call and a forensic divorce financial consultant. He was honest, forth-right and very knowledgable of what I need to do. I have an appointment with one of his referals tomorrow and I am so grateful for his help. He did this all without charge to me and it has changed my view of the integrity of divorce lawyers! Thank you Mr. Slater!

"I endorse this lawyer. I practiced family law for 20 years before I moved on to personal injury. When I needed a lawyer for my divorce, I hired Gary because I thought he was the best in the area. He is smart, thorough, and practical. I know him from watching him handle my case but also because we had cases against one another the he handled those cases superbly as well. I highly recommend him."
