Testimonials
Slape & Howard were incredibly professional and diligent in dealing with my case. I am beyond satisfied and recommend them as it’s clear they want the best for their clients. Phil and Melissa are so genuine. I felt like they were truly my teammates. They explained to me in depth the whole picture and allowed to understand the legal process, working hard to get the best outcome for me. Definitely trust the process—it can take a while but the wait is worth the increase in return I got! Thank you again, Phil and your team for your amazingly hard work and care.
Jon is very efficient. I had two separate cases, and he was able to close them both out within a year. Miriam, Vanessa and Natalia are all exceptional at relaying messages and getting you the answers you're seeking. I had never been through any type of court case, and my team was able to explain and navigate me to success.
I recently used Slape and Howard, specifically Jo, to help handle and settle a case I had. Jo was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process, always keeping me in the loop as things moved along, making time for all of my questions. I greatly appreciated this! Additionally team members, Delynn, Maura and Alfredo were helpful and crucial to the success of my case! I would highly recommend Jo for any of your needs!
Phil, Melissa, Delynn, and Natalia were great to work with. They kept me updated on where we were with everything and how long each step in the process should take. Any time I contacted them, I got a response right away. I highly recommend choosing them as representation.
Miriam and Vanessa were always attentive to my messages and to help me with whatever I needed. Miriam always took great care of me and always had my best interest. Thanks to Phill for being an honest and patient lawyer. The girl at the front, Emily, was always very friendly and always offered me water or a coffee. Thanks to my legal team (Miriam and Vanessa and Phillip) and when they were not available, Alfredo, and all the rest of the Spanish-speaking team for always being willing to listen to my anxieties and answer any questions I had!
I want to give my legal team a huge thank you. Phil was very nice and patient with me. Miriam and Vanessa were always keeping me updated without having to ask, they always kept me informed, and anytime that I had questions they were always willing to speak with me and get me the answers I was looking for. Thank you!
I want to thank Miriam and Vanessa, who helped me understand the process better and helped me with translation and interpretation when I needed it. I want to thank my attorney Phillip Slape, who helped achieve a better outcome in my workers' compensation case and was able to fight for me and always had my best interest.
