Gary Slater, Attorney at Law

Upon learning that my husband no longer wanted to be married, I had the difficult task of choosing an attorney who would represent me during this devastating time. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gary Slater. After reviewing my case Gary gave me insightful, informative information about h...ow to proceed with my divorce. Gary guided me through this process as painlessly as possible. My court date was last week, and I was very impressed how court officials and fellow attorneys knew Gary and clearly respected him. It has been four months since I started this journey with Mr. Slater and I will always be grateful to him for helping move on with my life.

Excellent Attorney!

Gary is an outstanding attorney and a fine person. He was responsive, supportive and professional in helping me through a divorce. I was confident in how Gary advised me in what my options were in proceeding through my divorce action. I was divorced in 91 days and experienced open communication and i...mmediate responses to emails and phone calls. I appreciated Gary's professional approach and his wealth of knowledge in ensuring I prevailed in a successful outcome in my divorce proceedings. I recommend Gary without hesitation and would add that he shows genuine concern in supporting his clients.

Personal Injury Auto Accident

I was involved in a auto accident and was taken to the hospital with injuries. Because of the injuries to me and the problems I was having with the insurance I thought it would be best to contact an attorney to make sure everything was handled correctly as this was not a minor accident. I had one... of my customers who knew the problems I was having and told me about a attorney in Federal Way named Gary Slater and how he helped him before. I made a appointment with Mr. Slater and that was the best thing I did. My accident involved the other drivers insurance company which he only carried the bare minimum in coverage so my uninsured motorist coverage had to kick in.. Mr. Slater handled everything with my best interest in hand. I was very pleased with how he handled my case and keeping me informed through the whole process. I would highly recommend Mr. Slater for anyone that finds themselves in the same situation as I was in even it is to just check your legal rights .

A blessing during a difficult time

Divorce is difficult and emotional enough without the added stress second guessing your representation. I knew of Gary's reputation through a friend that hired him for a separation. From the beginning, he was calm, steady, direct, responsive to our (mine and my now ex-husband's) unusual circumstan...ces and was very considerate about my requests, while also giving me his legal perspective on those matters. I could not have been in better hands during the most challenging time in my life. Our divorce was amicable, but if it had taken a turn I knew I was still going to be with the best possible representation. His para-legal, Kim is fantastic as well. A great team.

"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."
