Client Testimonials
"Always About Helping Me"
“I had talked to a lot of lawyers before I hired Mat. As soon as I met him, I knew he was the lawyer for me. It was never just about the money for him. It was always about helping me get my life back.”
"Knowledge, Work Ethic and Character"
“I’m an automobile insurance claims adjuster, and I deal with attorneys every day. When I was hurt in a car accident, I could have called any of them to help me with my claim. I chose Mat Slechter because of his knowledge, work ethic and character.”
"Made Sure I Got What I Deserved"
“I really enjoyed working with this law firm, nice, friendly, professional, and made sure I got what I deserved. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. Love y’all, Meredith.”
"Truly Been a Friend"
“We couldn’t even afford a headstone for Dad until Mat settled our case. I really appreciate all his hard work. I hope that the end of our case doesn’t mean we won’t talk anymore... he’s truly been a friend.”
"Every other lawyer in town turned down my case"
“Every other lawyer in town turned down my case. Mat agreed to help me, and got me every penny of available insurance money.”
