Can’t get her on the phone ever. If you wanna pay 10k to only talk to her receptionist then go ahead but that’s the only person you’re going to talk to. Everything she told us was so far from the truth. I don’t want to say she lied because over the course of two years we only talked to her a hand full of times but everything her office told us and everything she told me in court was a lie. You’re better off burning your money and praying to the heavens above than hiring her.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I WISH I COULD GIVE HER NO STARS. COULD NOT GET HER ON THE OHONE TO SAVE MY LIFE. WHEN I DID TALK TO HER SHE LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. NOTHING SHE TOMD ME TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE COMPLETELY MISLEAD ME ON EVERYTHING.

She took 7 months to do what I hired her to do. Because of the time frame there was a lot of hardship with my son's schedule. I agreed to something I shouldn't had too, only because I wasn't going to use her in front of a judge with her mindset. I would had to fire her and hire someone else. I don't have time to fight everyone. If she smells a chance of making DOR a dollar she'll throw you and your child out on the streets to make her little friends happy. She seems to work more off self belief then logic or reasoning.

Let me see, where do I start. Well before calling her to speak with her about my issue, I left my information she called back as promised within 5 minutes several times before I made an appointment to meet with her in the office. I read the bad reviews and they are absolutely correct. She made promises on how she will solve this simple issue quickly and that was in April and today I’m still in court November. When I say I have the simplest case I truly mean that, she does not talk to you before your name is called in court, she does not communicate with you at all or does not call you back. You can leave several messages and her receptionist always make excuses of why she hasn’t called back on excuse after another. I thought she will continue the communication and standby what she said she will do that’s the only reading I retained her, but after she gets your money and you sign a contract stating you will not receive a refund if you are not satisfied with her work etc you pretty much stuck because your money is there, there are good lawyers out here that is truly professional, that communicates with clients and standby their words in Ocala and by personal experience you need to look elsewhere and stay away from here you will be kissed off. One or several reviews clearly stated that all of her MOTIONS GET DENIED THAT IS ALSO TRUE TO FACT. I should have stayed away, but when you hear good promises, you take your chances I’m sorry I believed this lady.

Ms. Slaughter has helped me with several issues over the past few years pertaining to divorce, parenting plans and assisting with enforcement needs. Although these aren't pretty issues everything was handled professionally and in a timely manner. The part I like most about Ms. Slaughter is her desire and ability to handle a lot of problems outside of the courtroom. She was able to work with the other side to come to agreements without years of going before the Judge. Another 5 stars for Deborah who assisted with my case and made the process smooth while explaining all the steps.

Once I paid for services all communication stopped. Debbie was extremely rude and has more excuses then a pregnant nun. I eventually had to hire another...
