About James W. Slater, Esq.

Hello, my name is Jim Slater. Thank you for your interest in my law firm.

If you’re looking for a highly experienced team of lawyers and legal professionals who are focused on their clients, I can assure you that you’ve come to the right place.

Rick Zurz and I formed this law firm over 25 years ago. We each brought very unique experience and backgrounds to our firm for the benefit of our clients.

Our style of practicing law and the culture of our law firm is one that is based on intense preparation and careful planning in order to secure the outcome our clients expect. We are laser focused on the needs of our clients and aggressive in the pursuit of our clients’ cases.

I am very proud of the results we achieve and the reputation we have earned in the legal community. No case is too small or too big for us and we devote the same energy to all cases regardless of size.

I welcome you to contact me anytime to discuss your case. I can be reached by calling my office telephone number of 440-550-5105 or you can email me directly at jslater@slaterzurz.com.

All conversations you have with me or anyone on my staff are kept strictly private and confidential regardless of whether you are a client or not.

What I Can Do For You

I’ve been practicing law in Ohio for over 45 years. With all those years of experience, there isn’t much I haven’t seen. That’s a huge advantage for you.

When you contact me, I’ll listen to you and offer you perspective and guidance that can only come from someone who has been practicing law for nearly five decades. I will walk you through every step of the legal process applicable to your case and help you understand how things should be done, why they need to be done this way and how long it will take. While I can tell you all these things, please know that you are in charge of your case at all times. We will be a team and act with your best interests as the priority, not ours.

We’ll discuss things you may never have even thought about and I’ll answer all your questions. If you decide to hire my law firm, we will get to work immediately and I’ll see to it that your case is given all the resources it needs to be successful. I’ll also make sure you are kept updated and informed on the progress of your case.

While I may not be the attorney who is directly handling your case, you will have access to me at all times. I will give you my cell phone number and we can speak anytime you like.

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.

We became extremely unsettled when we recieved a telephone call from my father stating that the neighbors dog had bitten our daughter in the face. We rushed home early to our daughter, who sustained facial injuries including stitches, puncture wounds and subsuquently emotional trauma and unnecessary fears from this heinous attack. My father contacted Slater and Zurz in rega
