After months of trying to recover a significant down-payment for services not provided by a painter, we contacted Mr. Slate Stern. He promptly gathered the facts, did excellent legal research, a quickly persuaded the painter to seek counsel. Within four weeks the painter agreed to a reimbursement schedule that is satisfactory to us. Mr. Stern did great legal work, was most respectful and cordial with us, kept us informed of all developments, and used his obvious intelligence and long legal experience to obtain a fair result.

Through no fault of our own my husband and I found ourselves in a complex legal situation. We had trouble finding a lawyer willing to help, and had we lost the case it would have been financially devastating to us. Slate genuinely wanted to help, not only was he effective and efficient in resolving my case, his calm and empathetic demeanor was emotionally reassuring throughout the ordeal.  We whole heartedly recommend him.

Slate is one of the most patient, kind, and compassionate people, let alone attorneys, I've ever met. He managed to make me feel confident and optimistic about an otherwise overwhelming situation. Most importantly, he took a case others said could last 2+ years and won it for me in less than a month!

We are eternally grateful to Slate for the work he did for us. He led the way out of a very dark place for us. It was an arduous journey lasting two years of our life in misery at its worst. It is because of his honest and selfless efforts that we got our lives back. We will forever be indebted to him.

Slate assisted me in a very complex litigation matter where an enormous amount was at stake for me financially. The legal issues were so complex that most laymen could not understand them. Through many sleepless nights for both Slate and I we eventually prevailed in the lawsuit.

Medical Malpractice

I had medical malpractice case that Slate assumed my representation in three years into the litigation. The initial attorney I hired in the case turned out to be terribly incompetent and knew nothing about litigating a complicated medical malpractice case. She withdrew from the case acknowledging it was way beyond her ability to deal with. Slate saved the day. He's an amazing attorney.

Slate is tenaciously and courageously persistent with an outstanding and shrewd legal mind. He represented me in a matter that other attorneys advised me was “impossible” to succeed in. Nevertheless, Slate managed to accomplish the impossible, bringing about a highly positive outcome. The day before the court proceeding, Slate told me that “all we can do is our best and let the chips fall where they may.” Slate did his best, persevered, and triumphed. I will forever be grateful.

After I suffered a serious accident, a well known corporate attorney recommended Slate Stern, a skilled commercial and personal injury attorney. Throughout my entire process, Slate was dedicated and professional, Although I live out of state, he kept me constantly informed and was quick to respond to any questions and concerns. The large insurance company that we faced learned early that Slate was quick and efficient acting against all misrepresentation and evasive maneuvers. He performed extensive research, secured experts to validate my condition and circumstances, and compiled impressive evidence which ultimately led to a successful conclusion. I'm grateful to my friend for suggesting Slate Stern as my attorney. I too highly recommend him.
