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.

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.

Performance Review on Family Lawyer (Gary R. W.. Slater)

Mr. Slater provided legal assistance on updating a postnuptial contract. Compared to any other lawyer that I have hired for legal counsel in the past, I rate Mr. Slater the best. He was punctual, accurate, patient, and efficient. He provided good answers that allowed me to re-arrange my financial ...portfolio prior to signing the new agreement while educating me on basic legal family matters. His fees were fair and reasonable. I received far better service from this attorney than my previous family lawyer at one-third the cost; without the headache, late excuses, and legal babble. I have kept Mr. Slater's card on file in case I should be in need of his services again. I strongly recommend this lawyer. DSS

Caring Straight Shooter

My wife and I spoke with Gary about powers of attorney, wills and community property agreements. We decided to only get a power of attorney done. Well in April last year my wife passed away. Gary professionally and caringly help me through the probate process. He is a straight shooting no nonse...nse kind of guys and I really appreciate all of his help over this past year.

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."
