Gary Slater - Professional

I have known, and have referred clients to, Gary Slater over the past ten years. Always, I have been impressed with his knowledge, experience and caring in resolving the problem of my clients from the questions asked and most importantly his listening.

Best Lawyer in WA state

I hired Mr.Gary Slater almost 18 years ago to handle my divorce. Each year since I have sent him a Christmas card thanking him for being there for me and my children. He was incredibly professional and extremely caring in a difficult situation. I felt that Gary actually took an interest in myself and... my children and did the very best for us. This is not just a business for Gary he actually cares for his clients. I have referred my friends to Gary and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future. He was extremely helpful when I needed a will drawn up also. I feel extremely lucky to have had Gary as my lawyer.

I hired Mr. Slater in October of 2010 to handle the probate in the matter of my sister's estate. He handled everything in a timely manner.

Professional but caring

Gary handled my divorce after I had fired another lawyer. He was easy to talk to and communicated all info as it became available. Gary was very calm and reassuring when I needed it the most in my difficult situation. He did not promote vindictive behavior but worked for the best outcome possible fo...r me. I have used Gary since for a Will and have been very pleased. If needed I will use him again.

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.

"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."
