"I would like to commend the intelligence, professionalism and courtesy I received at Slater & Zurz Attorneys. I met Mr. Jeff Hawkins at a restaurant I was working at. I had Mr. Hawkins handle an auto accident, a divorce follow up and a personal matter. I was very satisfied with the way matters were handled. Mr. Hawkins and Mel were constantly in contact to follow up and inform me of my case. I would highly recommend Slater & Zurz for any legal case.

My father's dream was to be a lawyer. He attended Harvard Law School but joined the U.S. Army during World War II and was never able to finish his legal education. I originally became a lawyer to fulfill my father's dreams. However, my career is about so much more than that. I take great pride and satisfaction in helping others resolve their legal issues.
