Gary R. W. Slater

I have known Gary Slater for many years. He was recommended to me during my divorce. What I brought to our first meeting was pain, confusion and sorrow. These were met by Gary's calm demeanor and professionalism: Immediate help. Gary has a strong understanding of his profession and a great em...pathy for the problems and concerns of others. If a matter falls outside the scope of Gary's expertise, he will guide the party (myself included), to those who can help.; who he respects, and who respects him. I would heartily recommend Gary in the future, as I have in the past.

Stay away

Used Slater for my divorce two years ago. He was absolutely no help during negotiations. In hindsight I made the wrong decision hiring him. I'm on this site to find an attorney to try and get my terrible settlement revised.

Estate Handling - Ruth

I first met Mr. Slater on 11/01/2012. I had many questions concerning Ruth's will and Estate. Mr. Slater reviewed the material and the will. The process of verifying the will was going to take a little research as it was over 55 years old and all the named executors had past away. He and some a...ssociates had located a person who could verify one of the signatures on the will. The two beneficiaries named in the will had asked if I could be executor since I had been handling her affairs through Durable Power of Attorney for a few years and was familiar with the estate. After presenting to the court all the information that was found and verified, I was appointed executor. Due to the size of the estate and possible tax implications, with the advise of Mr. Slater, I hired a tax consulting firm. With the advice from Mr. Slater and the tax firm. I was able to liquidate the assets, pay all taxes and disperse the money and misc. assets in a logical and systematic way. This whole process took approx. 6 mo. Throughout the entire time Mr. Slater was easily accessible for my many questions and concerns. He provided many forms to help me keep everything organized and presentable to the courts. I very much appreciate all the effort he went through to ensure a smooth finish to this estate and made the whole process less stressful on me. Thank You Gary.
