We retained Attorney Silas Pisani for a complicated Guardianship matter. Attorney Pisani was consistently available to us by phone, text and email. He was highly knowledgeable of how to deal with our case. He explained all variants of our case. He was very much at home in the Courtroom and very professional. We would highly recommend Attorney Pisani. 10/10

During the first weeks after we lost our father, I presented our case to several lawyers. We were feeling discouraged by so many that told us that we didn’t have a strong enough case. The blessed exception was Brandon Dean at Slater & Zurz. He called me on the same day I reached out and spent ample time discussing the details. From the moment we hired him as our attorney he was responsive and approachable, and left no doubt that he was experienced and competent in cases like ours. He expertly handled everything with our case and we were able to reach a settlement successfully, allowing my mother some security during this difficult time. Thank you Brandon!

I needed help with my medical stuff. He couldn't quite help in ways I needed. But he did help me with someone who could. Talked me thru it, explained what to do and pushed me thru to someone who could help me. Thank you.

Hired Attorney James W. Slater Esq.

I called Attorney Jim Slater after doing a google search and found 5-star reviews with phenomenal testimonies. On my initial call, I spoke directly to Attorney Slater, which I found shocking with so many professionals failing to respond in a timely fashion. I can’t begin to express the compassion Attorney Slater had for my son and me when explaining my situation regarding the negligence of a dentist. Not knowing where to begin with taking legal action Attorney Slater discussed and explained thoroughly the steps and actions I should take. If you desire a professional and empathetic attorney for all legal matters, you should contact Attorney Jim Slater.

Hired Attorney Michael Schmeltzer

I have to say Mike is by far the best lawyer I have ever used and I will never need to find another. He settled a case and was able to collect on what I thought was going to be an uncollectable case he worked hard and persevered. I can't thank him enough. He worked with me on pricing and turned a horrible situation I was facing into a positive. I not only have a lawyer for life but a friend as well!

I was rear ended in Jan. 2013. I was hooked up with Michael Smeltzer at Slater & Zurz . Michael kept me informed of everything that was happening with my case. It was a rather difficult case, but he took it on. Michael is very professional yet down to earth. He is definitely passionate about his clients. I was very happy with the outcome and find myself actually going to miss him.

Michael took on my case when other attorneys would not. And he got me a settlement payment that helped me a lot. He was also great to work with - he spend a lot of time with me, carefully going into every detail of my case. I also really appreciated his customer service - I never had to wait more than a day for him to call me back with answers to my questions - usually he'd call by the end of the day. It's a big relief to work with an attorney who is this dedicated and successful.

We had extremely excellent service from Attorney Ed Pullekins, Anne Williams and other staff of Slater & Zurz, in regards to the handling of an Estate Case involving our family. There were several complicating factors with the Estate, but when we went to Mr. Pullekins of Slater & Zurz, he listened to our situation and then presented the case solutions to us. We engaged with Slater & Zurz, and we can report that everything in the case was handled correctly and in a very professional manner; our Probate case was handled and closed without any issues. It's very comforting knowing you have Slater & Zurz handling your legal affairs, and in this case, it's very comforting having Mr. Ed Pullekins handling your Estate affairs. We would certainly recommend Mr. Pullekins & Slater & Zurz for any Estate issues, and also any other Legal affairs.
