My case had some complex elements that required an attorney who would give careful attention to my input. I was glad to discover that Ehren not only allowed, but anticipated, many of my ideas concerning how to keep a focus on the facts. He was honest from the start about the potential for success in this type of libel suit. We didn’t achieve the best outcome but it was the best possible in this set of circumstances. In retrospect, I might have fared better filing against a single party rather than several opponents who were able to apply tag team tactics. We had to contend with multiple attorneys and a frivolous countersuit. We might have avoided some of the chaos by narrowing the scope of my complaint. However, the final decisions were always mine. I was well-informed about all legal considerations, kept up to date, and had every question answered. The support team at the office offered outstanding and timely assistance. I chose an attorney with scrupulous integrity and don’t regret that because it represented the very purpose of my defamation suit. Some of the opponents’ tactics caught me by surprise and at times I felt we allowed them to control the process. But I didn’t want any sacrifice of principles and Ehren was without a doubt the right attorney to preserve that approach. I needed an attorney I could respect, and after spending many hours observing the opponents, the only attorney in the room at the end of the day that I felt had earned respect was mine. It was a stressful and difficult process and I doubt I would undertake this type of civil proceeding again. My takeaway from the experience is that it’s critical to have an attorney that you not only trust, but can respect regardless of the outcome, win, lose or draw. If honor, dignity, and integrity are important to the client, they must matter greatly to the attorney as well, and I found that to be the case with Ehren Slagle.
