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.

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.

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.

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."
