Mr. Slater sent me a packet in the mail after he obtained my info from the health dept. following a recent dog attack I was wounded in. I learned more information from his , packet and just speaking to gim. He took more action in 2 hrs than ant previous attorney. I would recommend James. Thank you.
“I have worked with Jim in a variety of cases, most when I was an attorney who referred work to Jim and, once when I myself was injured. In every case, Slater & Zurz treated us with respect, were responsive, and served us well to get all compensation we were entitled to.”
We highly recommend Slater & Zurz LLP. We have co-counseled with them on several matters. They are excellent and experienced lawyers. We enjoy working with them.
I have known Attorney Slater for 20 years. I have co -counseled cases with him. He is by far one of the most respected lawyers in his community. Attorney Slater is knowledgeable, respectful, and has a truly incredible legal mind. I would recommend Attorney Slater for any of your legal needs.
Mr. Slater and Mr. Zurz, I am writing to thank your law firm for the professionalism shown in the management of my ongoing divorce proceeding and send my sincerest condolences for the recent loss of my attorney, your colleague, James Brown. He was a quality attorney whom I enjoyed conversing with. Being a professional myself, I appreciated his knowledge, experience, and sense of professionalism. As you well know, divorce can be a complex and elaborate process, and I initially had concerns with Mr. Brown's passing, given the fact that my proceeding involves various time sensitive elements. I have appreciated the smooth transition that the law firm of Star & Zurz has provided to expedite the conclusion of my case. Sincerely, C. Delafon
My children and I lost their father in April due to a motorcycle accident and we had no idea where to even start. We were so overwhelmed with grief that the thought of even trying to deal with anything else was all too much.. I contacted Slater and Zurz and they came to our home and met with us to answer all of our questions and concerns on very short notice. They have done a wonderful job in handling everything from the real estate to the wrongful death and have kept us informed every step of the way. It has been a long painful process and they have understood our grief and have been very warm during this time. I will recommend them to everyone.
well on July 4,2014 I was viciously attacked by the neighbors dog at 5 pm at night. I looked online for what to do and found your law firm, so i chatted on live chat with a representative which heard what i had to say and immediately connected me to your law firm close to my area. the chat rep told me not to disconnect the live chat till a live person was on the telephone. i told the live chat i got a voice recording so the rep in turn ,told me he would call the attorney and they would call me right back. to my surprise, james luna called me back from the akron office almost immediately,that amazed me, especially on a holiday. james luna seemed to go out of his way to help me with important information and what my options were atm . not once was i forced into something i really didn't want to do, and because of these wonderful conversations with james luna, i am now a client of yours....thx you so much chris
Jacqueline Bates-Ware reviewed in the last week My name is Jacqueline Bates-Ware and I retained attorney James Slater of Slater & Zurz to work on my accident case. Although the incident itself was traumatic, the responsiveness, professionalism and sensitive care given in my case restored my confidence so much so I've referred several family members and friends to James Slater and Slater & Zurz. I have the upmost respect and gratitude towards Mr. Slater and his staff.
My wife and I were on our 2nd anniversary trip and our daughter was at her grandparents home over the 4th of July weekend. 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 regards to the attack after following all of the proper channels required legally. My parents, my wife and myself have been in contact with Slater and Zurz since the incident with the utmost confidence that their firm will walk us through this process with confidence, reassurance and trust that everything will be ok. As a parent and a father, I am deeply disturbed everytime I look at my beautiful daughter, who has been innocently miamed through the gross negligence of the dog owner, I am just simply appalled. Slater and Zurz has earned our trust, as a family, that they will be our front line of defense, as well as our friends, in the timely and adequate representation that our family, and more importantly our daughter, so rightly deserves. I am extremely satisfied in the timely response as well as the confidence in the Slater and Zurz team of professionals, that we will recieve the best representation that we need to regain the healthy family atmosphere we enjoyed before being so abruptly interrupted. Bill and Jennifer Ostrander
Was scared and confused after getting hit by a drunk driver, wasn't sure of the "steps" I should take. The paralegal answered any and all questions, built a very trusting relationship, and basically held my hand thru the entire process thus far. Very quick and timely responses.
