Farrauto Berman Slater & Michaeli

I have had the privilege of working with Cheryl Slater for the last six years, and she has been nothing short of outstanding. Cheryl is an incredibly talented attorney who tackles even the most difficult and stressful situations with confidence, determination, and grace. What sets Cheryl apart is not only her expertise, but her communication. She speaks to her clients with kindness, respect, and honesty. Cheryl never sugarcoats things—she tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Her transparency makes you feel informed, supported, and prepared every step of the way. Cheryl’s dedication to her clients is unmatched. She listens, she advises with care, and she works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes. For six years, she has been someone I could depend on—professionally, ethically, and personally. I am grateful for everything Cheryl has done, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is truly an exceptional attorney and an extraordinary person.

Cheryl Slater went above and beyond for me in more than one situation, and she is truly the best lawyer I have worked with to date. She is kind, patient, honest, and incredibly responsive. Cheryl was always quick to help, clear in her communication, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was handled properly. I’ve had other lawyers over the years—some good and some not so good—but none compare to the level of professionalism, dedication, and trust Cheryl brings to her work. On top of being an excellent attorney, she is simply a great person and someone you feel comfortable working with. I highly recommend Cheryl Slater to anyone looking for a lawyer who truly goes above and beyond.

Cheryl has been a trusted advisor and friend, and helped me navigate a complex custody situation to get 50% custody of my daughter. Aside from being tough as nails when necessary, she also handled my concerns with grace and humor and that speaks volumes for the kind of person she is. Cheryl is both highly experienced, loyal, fierce, and compassionate. She continued to advise me way beyond my initial custody and support cases to present day. I have referred her to all my friends going through similar situations. She is without a doubt the best person to have in your corner for anything family law related.

Working with Cheryl through a life-changing and devastating event made the process far more manageable than I would have thought possible. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and confidently advocated on my behalf without being intimidated or sidetracked by opposing arguments. Throughout a long and complex divorce, she provided not only excellent legal counsel, but also steady guidance—both tactically and emotionally. She is incredibly personable and easy to engage with, which made it comfortable to discuss very personal and sensitive aspects of my life. She is also well connected with trusted experts whose services were needed and who likewise provided excellent support. Because my children were young at the time, they were sometimes present when I met with Cheryl. Her interactions with them were kind and gentle, and rather than feeling awkward in her presence, they were genuinely happy to see her again (especially when Oreos were involved). Even more than 10 years after my divorce, when other legal matters have arisen, she has consistently jumped back in with a strong recall of important details and a clear ability to quickly set the stage for a new course of action. Her professionalism, insight, and advocacy have been invaluable.

I have worked with many attorneys, in my career, and Cheryl is one of the finest. I had to retain her services for a complicated post-matrimonial judgement matter, from 20 years ago (my former attorney unfortunately made mistakes along the way). Cheryl is a true professional, diligent, insightful, very thorough, and she gets it ("the big picture", she was in tune with my needs to navigate through the process, and the courts ). I also found her to have compassion, to have civility; having a nice way of politeness about her; and respectful to my thoughts. I would definitely recommend Cheryl to my friends and colleagues. I wish I had her, as my attorney, twenty years ago.

I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful this firm is. Cheryl Slater represented me in a pretty complicated divorce that lasted about 2 years. She did this in a manner that goes way beyond just her representing me in a divorce. I remember my first phone call to her to explain my situation and at the end right before we hung up she said Jamie I got you. And a big shout out to Destiny who is Cheryl’s sidekick - thanks !! Thank you for everything

Cheryl Slater is excellent! Exactly who you would want by your side and in your corner. Cheryl is tough and a firm negotiator on my behalf. She provides me with great advice. She takes the time to explain things. I have been very happy working with Cheryl and her team when needed over the past 8 years.
