Memberships & Associations
Mr. Slaughter represented my wife and I for a car accident injury case in which both of us sustained serious injuries on our way back home from the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
The final settlement that this law firm ultimately achieved for us was over 5 times more than the best and final “low ball” offer from the at-fault-driver’s insurance company – without going to court.
I recommend this firm for injury representation.
