Sloan Law Firm

We hired Mike Heptig for an appeal on an eviction case. He’s a nice likable guy, which makes this review difficult to write. He won the case for us which was great, but at what cost. I felt he put the least amount of effort into the case one possibly could. Communication was terrible, he told me he’d have documents sent on X date, I’d call back the next week for an update and it still wouldn’t be done. I felt like I had to push him to get any work done. And on top of that, I realized later he was billing me for that time I had to use to get him to do his job. Makes me sick to my stomach. Finally to get an invoice, I felt like I had to pull teeth. No one would explain to me they have an online portal to pay and they wouldn’t give me an invoice number to pay which was required to pay. After the case was done, they (not Mike) sent me one final update email saying my case was complete and said if I had any remaining questions to ask Mike. Well I tried. 2 months later and still no reply to my emails and voice mails. I don’t get it, you guys really don’t want repeat customers? I guess you don’t need to worry about it then. How do you go about winning the case for me, and yet I still feel like I lost.

Vernon Jarboe is very well known in this town. He was my father’s lifelong friend and attorney. I used to think of him quite fondly and had a lot of trust in him. That has changed dramatically in the last year. My father told me one thing about his life insurance money/will, 5 weeks before he died. Vernon via his paralegal Jill Skowronski executed a dramatic change to my father’s will and life insurance that was quite the opposite of what my father told me, just 90 or so hours before he died. My father was on his deathbed, hospice had been called in, he was unable to perform basic daily functions and was making all kinds of mistakes during his final days. He had brain cancer in addition to many other types of cancer. When he died I loved my father and didn’t want to increase his pain, especially not over money, so I didn’t fight what I felt like were unethical actions from Vernon’s law firm, even though I felt like they would be financially/emotionally harmful to me because I truly believed that people involved felt like they were doing what was best for me and that they had good intentions. I never imagined someone I always thought so fondly of my entire life would let me down in such gigantic ways. I’m speaking of Vernon again. I don’t believe that my father’s true intentions for me have been acted on in good faith by Vernon Jarboe since last year. A year later it’s my perspective I have been harmed emotionally and financially by the trust I put and that my father put in Vernon Jarboe and I’m writing this review to let people know of my experience with him. Ethically isn’t it an attorney’s job to make sure a “dying wish” is exactly that and not fear and paranoia from the demons that brain cancer can manifest? I think it is. If my father had known I’d rather not inherit ANY money versus take it under Vernon’s control as trustee (conflict of interest anyone?) I don’t believe he would have done what he did. It’s my opinion he was advised poorly by Vernon Jarboe. I deeply regret not speaking up for myself more forcefully when I still had the chance.

I am sharing this story, because it’s raw, unfiltered and real. Parents if you’re in a situation where you don’t know who to call, call SLOAN’s law firm. I’m sure they’re all good, but I can for sure put my word in Allison, Ryan and Aaron! I met Ryan when I was at my lowest. Ryan listening to my story, sitting behind his desk, very attentive. Our first consultation was a bit of a mess...And that’s because I couldn’t make sense of anything I was facing. I didn’t plan for divorce, I didn’t plan to get married, have children and see that all crumble... Nope, but it happened. All I can say is...Each lawyer, legal aid, Secretary and employee that ever handled my case, did so in a respectful, dignified manner. I felt such a support network of caring attorneys. Ryan was very caring. Allison was amazingly talented, and a heavy hitter! She’s intellectually witty, and knows the law. Aaron is a good listener, and dials in with attentiveness because he cares about the truth. I’ve read some of the things people say in google reviews, but the truth is, SLOAN’s cares about their clients. Here is a wise word for parents. All children deserve to see the other parent, with some very limited exceptions!!! I learned a lot through divorce...Children suffer, and they are victimized. You must protect and shield them! If you expect any lawyer to pull rabbits from hats, you should just represent yourself! Be realistic, trust your attorney! You may not always like what they say, BUT THATS WHY YOU HIRED THEM!!! Judges will always award parents both time so don’t demand unrealistic things of your attorney. If they are telling you that somethings not gonna work out or that something you want to do klebsiella judge or is not consistent with the law, then you always wanna listen to them, because they know best. Trust Sloans they got me the rights I deserve. I’m a single father of four. They fought for me hard!! Allison was my attorney in court. She is amazing. If you have a good, honest, clean case and you truly love your kids and your facing tenuous times then you definitely want to call and ask for Allison. I can’t say enough good things about this LAW FIRM. Good luck in your journeys whoever reads this and may God bless you and your family and I’m sorry you’re having to go through anything that would require you even needing an attorney but if you need one definitely call and ask for Allison!

Allison is my attorney in a very important divorce case. I have four beautiful children, and they mean the world to me. In the short time Allison has handled my case, she has conducted herself with professionalism, and shown her expertise!!! She makes decisions based off fact, morality and law. Allison takes pride in her career, which reflects in her performance during decisions and court. One thing I also recommend is, if your a parent, be honest. Don’t lie to your attorney. They can’t help you if you’re not honest with them. Be prepared to offer evidence that supports your defense. Don’t expect them to represent you if your case is doomed by your own self defeating behavior. This is a “REAL LAW FIRM” If you want an ethical, powerful, honest and experienced lawyer, Allison is a great option!!! If you ever need an attorney, you definitely want to hire Sloan law firm, and I recommend Allison to represent you and your children.

They have handled two different law suits for me and did an excellent job. Very professional but personal at the same time. I’d recommend them anytime to all my friends.
