Slip and Fall accident changed my life

I suffered a traumatic slip and fall injury on a wet floor due to negligence of the safety guidelines for the maintenance staff of the property which where the incident occurred had not place the "Wet Floor" sign down. Two years and currently my life has changed drastically with permanent damages (ph...ysical) and severe emotional distress but once I was referred by the Summit County Bar Association to Attorneys Slaters & Zurz , although it was a VERY LONG journey they were very well supportive legal wise as well, emotional support wise. The time which was put into my case and patience with each concerns of mine were addressed with compassion and in detailed whereas, I could understand during these period critical times of my life. I was truly blessed when I was referred to "Slater & Zurz". I would personally recommend them to others for legal services and utilize them again if need to. Thank you Atty. Buchanan and Paralegal (Mrs. Bisel) for EVERYTHING.

not only a good attorney but also a friend

Sean Buchanan attorney with Slater and Zurz is an excellent attorney. HIs whole law firm staff is respectful, patient. I fell through a back porch when I was 19 weeks pregnant. I have been dealing with this law suit for the last few months. They have been really nice and patient with me. And also ver...y concerned about my over all care and the progress of how my unborn son.

Very good attorney

Sean Buchanan represented me on a criminal matter. I live in Trumbull County and Sean had no problem representing me there. He is a very good criminal attorney. He took care of my case in a timely fashion and got it resolved with a outcome that I was happy with. I would recommend Sean Buchanan fo...r a criminal matter that you might have. He is always available to speak, email or text his clients to keep them informed of their case.
