Like all the attorneys at Slater & Zurz LLP, I am focused on getting results for all my clients as quickly as possible. That means meticulously preparing your case and aggressively pursuing it. In most circumstances, I can get your case successfully resolved at mediation and avoid a lengthy trial. If your case does need to go to trial, I have a long and established track record of success.

The best way for me to explain how I may help you, is to allow my clients to tell you about their experience with me:

"I chose Jim Slater as my legal representative over 20 years ago at the suggestion of another attorney I had used in other legal matters. That was the best suggestion I've ever had, and by far the best choice I've ever made in my legal affairs.

Jim Slater represented me in a very crucial matter back in the mid 80's. Having been in a life threatening car accident, I was rewarded very handsomely, and still receive payments from that accident to this very day. Not only was I compensated financially, Jim showed me how to invest a large portion of the settlement. I will have tripled my investment over my life time. Thank you again and again Jim." - Michael J. Sales, Sr.

My Most Memorable Cases:

There have been quite a few over the years. Here are just a few:

A college student was involved in a car accident and received injuries that hospitalized him. While in the hospital, his feeding tube was improperly inserted and he suffered additional injuries that placed him into a coma. Fortunately, he was able to recover from the coma.We were able to obtain a very substantial monetary settlement for him from the hospital.

A man was involved in a truck accident and developed RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy), an extremely painful disorder of the arms and hands. The man hired an attorney and was advised to settle for an amount that was grossly inadequate. He terminated his relationship with that attorney and hired me. We were then able to successfully reach a settlement that was three times the amount initially offered.
