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.

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.

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.

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."
