Dan Slater has experience representing people in a wide variety of areas of law:
Dan has quickly become one of Southern Colorado's top attorneys for personal injuries and automobile accidents. In 2004, Dan received the "Young Lawyer of the Year" award from the Colorado Trial Lawyers' Association, a prestigious honor that had never gone to a Southern Colorado attorney.
Dan is actively involved in the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association and attends numerous continuing education seminars throughout the year. "It is critical to stay up-to-date in this area of law," says Slater. "The tactics used by the insurance industry are constantly changing; the medical science regarding automobile injuries are constantly changing, and the laws are constantly changing. It is imperative to watch these developments closely -- and constantly"
Dan assists clients with an overriding philosophy: the client has to be informed. Too often, attorneys fail to properly explain the ins and outs of automobile insurance coverages and other key points of a personal injury case. "My clients expect a bit more," Slater explains. "When you call my office with a question, I answer it, or I do the research necessary to find the answer to it. This isn't assembly-line work; these are people's lives. Maybe that attitude comes from a small-town way of thinking that I grew up with, but I've found that clients appreciate it."
Real Estate Law:Dan Slater has extensive experience helping clients in a wide variety of real estate disputes. From complicated boundary disputes to simple purchases and sales; from construction projects gone bad with dozens of lien claimants to drawing up simple easements, Dan has helped dozens of Southern Coloradans with their real estate legal needs.
Employment Law:There are only a handful of Southern Colorado law firms and attorneys who handle employment law issues. Why? Probably because the laws and rules surrounding employment law are so complicated. For employers, though, employment law counseling and preventative maintenance of an employer's personnel policies can be the difference between a messy dispute with an ex-employee and a good understanding between the employer and its employees about their relationship. For employees, an action wrongfully taken by an employer can doom an employee's job future.
Whether you are an employer or an employee, if you need employment law counseling, Dan Slater has several years of experience representing both employers and employees, from sexual harassment suits to non-competition agreements, to employment contracts.
