when I and my daughter was in a car accident I was referred to Chris and I am so glad that I was. he has experience to do the job right, knowledgeable at what he does and is very professional. if you need a great attorney call Chris as he is one of the best I have seen
I had telephoned several attorneys regarding my situation. None of them viewed my case as I did; there was something wrong with the timing of a work-related injury claim and my employment being terminated. Then, someone referred me to Christopher Slater. I was instantly impressed with his honesty, knowledge of the law, and how well informed he was of the particular requirements for the industry in which I was employed. He expressed confidence, patience, and the value of timing with regards to filing my complaint with the proper court. Christopher's genuine concern regarding my current medical condition was a relief and he advised me to "take care of it first". Christopher spent a great deal of time on the phone during the initial conference and everytime afterwards. He was easy to talk with and always straightforward; often using metaphors to get his point across. And always he made certain I had no questions at the end of all conversations. I appreciated his mindfulness of my time and distance from his office. Office meetings were kept to a bare minimum. The discussions regarding plan of procedures, his work on a contingency basis, and the difference between costs and fees were done via phone or email. He made sure I understood my responsibilities before, during, and after the process of filing a suit. The defendent eventually offered a settlement following a decision made by the State of Oregon courts during discovery. I met with Christopher and the adjudicator to negotiate. It was apparent he is a plaintiff's lawyer, as he often referred to himself. I am certain his ethics, values, and professionalism appear very well in a courtroom. I have a great deal of respect for Christopher and highly recommend him to anyone with questions regarding employment and disablilities.
