After we got separated, my ex-wife was not letting me see my kids for almost three months. She put the protective order on me, that’s when I decided to go to law office of Dennis slate. I was so scared that I will never see my kids. Dennis assured me that he and his staff will work hard for me, and he will make sure that I will get my kids back. Dennis Slate and his staff especially Ryann listen to me deeply, with empathy and compassion. Dennis Slate and Ryann worked really hard to prepare my case to present to the judge for my court hearing. Dennis won the protective order hearing. Dennis attended every court hearing even when he was sick. Dennis Slate and his staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work. I’m so excited, I’m spending lot of time with my kids today and all I’m saying is without Dennis Slate I would be a father with no kids. Thank you so much Dennis Slate for all you have done. I will never forget your dedication, kindness and support. My divorce was so complex, but Dennis and his staff made it so easy by working so hard and giving extra attention to my case, divorce meditation was smooth and I’m really happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Dennis Slate to anyone who is looking for an aggressive, straightforward, honest, humble attorney who is willing to work hard for his clients.

Dennis slate is a shark. I would at least consult with him simply because I would never want the opposing party to use him. I hired Dennis in the middle of my custody modification when everything was a mess. Him, and his AMAZING staff, took care of everything - which included an emergency hearing 30 days after he was retained. I’ve hired a few other attorneys previously but never felt as cared for and properly handled as much as I did with Dennis and his team. I genuinely felt like they all cared about my case (and therefor my child). I went back to do another consultation with my husband, who is was going through his own custody modification, and Dennis remembered my case clearly and had even been talking to legislators about cases similar to mine way after my retainer had ended. Every penny you spend on him will be worth it!

There are not enough words to adequately describe what an exceptional job Dennis Slate & Associates accomplished in my case. My teenage kids were taken away by CPS and the judge ruled in CPS’ favor during the initial hearing with misinformation. My attorney at the time did not want to anger the judge because she had to try other cases before him and did not want him to be biased against her - small town politics in play in the courtroom. The way the case was going, I was not going to have my kids back within the year - if ever! I began to look for outside counsel which is when I found Dennis Slate. Even though he was nearly 7 hours away, he diligently listened to my story and I think even he was a little shocked at how brazen CPS and the judicial system here was. He told me that he had to check a few things out and would give me a call by the end of the day. The end of the work day came and went with no call from Dennis. I though, “typical lawyer with typical promises”, but then, much to my surprise, he called me a little before 9pm! He wanted to get some clarification on some issues before advising me. I couldn’t believe it. That is when I knew he was the attorney for me. I fired my current attorney and hired Dennis. Within the month, the CPS case was totally dismissed and my kids were back home. Dennis and his staff always answered my questions promptly and professionally. I would HIGHLY recommend Dennis Slate to anyone looking for a highly motivated, competent, and compassionate attorney that is more than willing to go the extra mile for his clients.

Dennis is the man you want in your corner. As a veteran he felt like someone that I know could help me. I live 5 hours away from where my case was filed. So not knowing anyone needing help to maintain my rights as a father. Referred to me my by a lawyer near me. This man saved me in a dark time of worry. He was there for me through the beginning and the end. My case lasted a year and a half and the whole time him and his team were there for me. We won both cases during that time and maintained my rights as a father. This man is honest so when he tells you something buddy you believe it.

Dennis Slate and his team are exceptional! We had a Intervention case with a foster child against CPS. We went to a jury trial and won! Dennis from the get go was transparent of the possible outcome of the case and our chances of winning the case. His work ethic is second to none! Honestly I have never met anyone in my life like him when it comes to this. When he walks into a courtroom he demands respect his knowledge of the court system and laws is unprecedented. Watching his presentation of the evidence against CPS and direct examination of the witness is a sight to be seen. Honestly i never saw him take a lunch he would work thru lunch and even when the opposing council is asking questions he is just working! It is said you are only as good as your team.. and Dennis and his team of paralegals is second to none! I would recommend wholeheartedly Dennis Slate and his team! We are forever grateful for your and your team Mr Slate Thank you and God Bless.

Mr. Slate and his team helped my family during our time of great need. He was diligent, as was his team, and helped us get back on our feet. His knowledge of the issue is unmatched and he truly cares for his clients. His team was also great at helping us with different aspects of our case and always responded in a timely manner - most of the time, immediately!! The knowledge Mr. Slate has of the CPS system is truly remarkable and I wouldn't recommend anybody else!!

Jackie Houlette is an excellent attorney committed to her clients and committed to providing thorough representation. Jackie is a compassionate, attentive listener who possesses the ability to fully understand a client’s position while using her in-depth knowledge of the law to provide and aim for the best possible outcome. Jackie is a highly respected attorney in the legal community, and anyone that requires legal representation would be lucky to have her on their side. Jackie has represented me in a child support modification case, as well as a motion for parent rights case. She did thorough investigative work to ensure all facts were gathered and that there would be no surprises in the courtroom. She worked hard and diligently to ensure the proper outcomes were attained, and I am grateful to have found her. Thank you Jackie!

When we looked for a lawyer we searched for months! It's hard to find a lawyer these days that really cares and doesn't just want to take your money. Jackie treats her clients as family and she was the best decision we could have made. Shell get the job done and you'll leave knowing you made the best decision with her by your side. I've sent many friends and family to Jackie because she truly doesn't disappoint!

In short, I don’t believe you can find a better qualified or more caring attorney in family law. I know we couldn’t. We were initially referred to Dennis because there were both civil and criminal components to our case. Dennis Slate is able to handle both. Our case spanned over 5 years. I don’t know if that is typical or not, but I do know that we were partially at fault for waiting too long to go on the offensive. (This was when we chose to hire Dennis.) The other reason it took so long was that we had the misfortune of having an opponent with newly acquired resources who was able to delay, delay, delay by outspending us 3-1. Dennis will be forthright with you about where you stand, what you can expect and what you may have already done that could hurt your prospects in the family court system. He’s nobody’s fool and is wise to the legal and psychological maneuvers a parent set on alienation will pull. Time is not your friend in family law matters. Every day that you’re away from your children is a day you don’t get back, no matter who ultimately “wins”. It has taken a long time to think about what to write in this review. I write reviews all the time – hotels, shopping, etc. Your relationship with your lawyer is more intimate and longer than you’ll expect. Dennis will be your voice and your representative in what is a very complex system. It’s impossible to convey in an online review the depth of our gratitude to Dennis Slate and his firm for the manner in which they handled our case. I don’t think our situation was typical, as our case was so long. That’s a long time to be working with an attorney, in territory that you’re unfamiliar with. You could not choose a better partner.

Dennis and his associates were an absolutely impressive team of people. We were blindsided by a family member trying to seek custody of our child after my significant other had a horrifying incident. Mr. Slate and his team were always on hand in the drop of a hat to help us through this process. When the day of court finally came, it was the most impressive thing I have ever seen someone do. Mr. Slate is absolutely worth every single penny. He is the hardest working individual I have ever met and his scope of knowledge is uncanny. He is no nonsense and very blunt, but if you do what he says and follow his instructions he will absolutely get the job done. We can not thank him enough and if you ever need a lawyer for family law there is no one in Houston that can match his caliber.
