Trustworthy and Knowledgeable Attorney

I highly recommend Gary Slater as an attorney. He explained options and situations very well. He represented my interests well and was wonderful to work with.

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!

I would only recommend the best!

I have had to use Mr Slater twice and would continue to use him, he was very profesisonal and extreamly supportive. His staff was also very helpful and knowledgeable and always available to help. I believe you will not find a better office to do business with. I have recommended him to several fri...ends who also feel he was incredible. I can't say enough for all the help and support he gave me durring and extreamly difficult divorce, and again when I went back to court for a parenting plan revision. He is the best! :-)

Talented and Trustworthy

I have needed Gary's help with a complicated divorce, child support, and visitation issues over a span of many years. His calm, professional demeanor and expertise helped me through a traumatic time. My first interaction with him involved collecting money owed to me by my ex-husband. He only charged ...me a small fraction of the fee he had originally quoted me, saying, "It was easy to collect. I wouldn't feel right charging you the full amount." He refunded my fee! Wow! Gary is truly a remarkable and talented attorney. Even his staff adores him. Finding Gary was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

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."
