Divorce Client

Gary was my divorce lawyer some 20 years ago and I have since recommended him to at least six of my friends. I do not recommend anyone to friends unless I am positive they will do a good job. At least 4 of my friends hired Gary and were equally as pleased with his services as I was. Gary was fair ...and always made sure my interests were well represented. He was willing to listen and advise. I will continue to recommend Gary and should I need an attorney I will definitely hire Gary.

Detailed and Family Oriented Attorney

Mr. Slater was my attorney more than thirty years ago. I found him to be responsive, helpful, detail oriented, and caring. Since the children should come first in family law matters I found that he was able to work through a myriad of issues regarding our child and the circumstances at hand. He see...med to be able to communicate clearly with me in order to identify the most crucial matters at the time. We worked well as a team. He also maintained excellent follow through. Thank you, Mr. Slater.

A Lawyer Par Excellence

Gary Slater was referred to me many years ago by another lawyer and I have not been disappointed. Gary is professional, knowledgable and responsive to need. I have used his services over the years and found that he goes the extra mile. Example: I was extremely ill and needed to update my will and... advance directives ASAP. Gary came to the emergency room and did all the paperwork right there at my bedside while I was waiting to be admitted to the hospital. Previously, he handled my separation and eventual divorce in a manner that protected the personal dignity and integrity of both myself and my ex-husband. I have the highest regard for Gary and recommend him without hesitation.

Divorce & child custody

I used Gary for my divorce 4 years ago. No divorce is easy but mine was especially complicated. Gary and his staff were there every step of the way. I have referred several friends to him and wouldn't hire anyone else.

A true gentleman

Mr. Slater was a true gentleman in every aspect during the difficult time I was going through divorce proceedings. He gave excellent advice in an honest yet tactful way, and ensured that the children and I were heavily protected and provided for under the law. His professionalism is unparalleled an...d I was impressed with his knowledge of the Washington courts system. Having had a father who was an attorney I know that his representation made me feel secure that my situation was resolved in the most beneficial manner possible, without causing acrimony and added drama between my ex and myself.

"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."
