Wrongful Death

"Caring, sincere, genuine, loyal, dependable, reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and resourceful. How can I ever thank Mike Slack and his legal assistant enough? They went out of their way — even meeting with us at the hospital or the Ronald McDonald House."

Carol B.

Client

"Slack Davis Sanger came highly recommended to me by a colleague. From my first meeting with Mike Davis, I knew my sisters and I had made the right choice. Emotionally, dealing with the situation was difficult for us. Slack Davis Sanger managed all of the details and people day-to-day, involving us only when necessary. This law firm delivered — and more."

Kyle Smith

Client

"All law firms should operate and handle their clients just as you do!"

Rebecca F.

Client

They have assisted our clients with personal injury matters and have served as our co-counsel in planning for our clients’ personal aircraft ownership and operations issues and needs. Our experience and our clients’ experience with Slack Davis Sanger has been outstanding. We recommend the firm highly and always look forward to working with the lawyers and staff there."

Stephen Saunders

"In the 15 years since starting The Exhibit Company, I have worked with more than 400 law firms nationwide. I have had the distinct pleasure to work with Slack Davis Sanger for 13 of those 15 years. I can honestly say that they are not only exceptional at what they do, but also have the utmost integrity and are a pleasure to work with. Their desire to stay on the cutting edge of technology and persuasive communication is uncommon in the legal industry, and it shows in their results. I never hesitate to recommend their services."

Sherrie Wirth, M.B.A.

President, The Exhibit Company

"Mike Slack and I are presently working on a case together. He puts the client first and works very hard for the client. I am lucky to be working with Mike, and Mike’s client is very lucky to have him as her lawyer."

Steve McConnico

Scott, Douglass & McConnico, L.L.P.

"It has been my great pleasure to work on many cases with Mike Slack and Mike Davis over the years — and to refer clients to them whose cases I couldn’t handle for one reason or another. In my book, they are the best of the best our profession has to offer. Not only do they work hard and employ their abundant skills on every case, however complex, but they also care deeply about their clients, and it shows. They don’t teach that in law school. I would, with total confidence, recommend these outstanding lawyers to anyone in need of help in even the toughest of legal battles."

Tommy Jacks

Attorney

"It was obvious to me, very early in the process, that my family was in need of an advocate that could match the legal resources of the airline involved. Through the recommendation of a family attorney in Austin, I was most fortunate to contact Mike Slack with Slack Davis Sanger LLP. I had not been on the phone with Mike for more than 10 minutes when I knew that this was the man and legal team that would represent my family."

Victor McLerran

Client

"On behalf of my siblings and I, we thank you and your team for taking on our case following our father’s passing from a tragic vintage plane crash in Arizona. As you know, we were originally working with another firm and just getting started when a family member referred us, insisting you were the best choice for our situation. With one phone consultation, I knew you were the one who would take care of us. During the time of our first call, I found you to be professional, fair, understanding, and, most of all, you confirmed my instincts on how a settlement would be processed given all the family dynamics and other concerns (i.e., multiple states, multiple claimants, etc.). I immediately felt you would have our backs and best represent our family."

Theresa M.

Client

"We have been referring cases to Mike Guajardo for many years. He has always been responsive to our needs, and he treats our clients with dignity and respect. Mike has a proven track record of success. He is hard-working, innovative, persistent and persuasive. We are very pleased to continue to refer our cases to his firm."

"I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff at Slack Davis Sanger. We contacted Slack Davis Sanger to pursue a wrongful death case. They fought the greatest fight for my kids. They knew the aviation industry and left no stone unturned. Their courtroom strategy and manners are equaled by no other. Thanks for your compassion and helping us through this time."

Kathy Hagerman

"I would like to commend Slack Davis Sanger for their willingness to contribute to the local educational community. In an era when state- and federally allocated funds are scarce, schools are forced to look to public–private partnerships to fund educational initiatives. The partners at Slack Davis Sanger were not only willing to listen to our proposal in a climate in which responses are few, they ultimately provided us with resources. We appreciate the educational opportunities, facilitated through partial funding of technological upgrades at our campus, that Slack Davis Sanger has provided."

Kara Thompson

Kyle Smith

Client

"After a lengthy stay in medical facilities and medical trauma, approaching a medical negligence claim or lawsuit was a daunting task for me. I was aware of Ms. Sweeney's reputation as a very highly regarded medical negligence lawyer and inquired whether she would be willing to take on my case. I knew it was a hard one since I had a complicated medical situation. My experience was excellent. Ms. Sweeney and her staff were totally professional and I cannot think of one time that I did not hear back from them the same day if I wrote or called, always with explanations for any questions I had.   I was kept fully updated on the status of my case. I felt so comfortable with Ms. Sweeney and her paralegals which made the pursuit of the claim so much easier and more relaxing for me.  It was clear that my best interests were foremost and that Ms. Sweeney had an excellent grasp of the medical facts of my case. I highly recommend the firm and in particular, Paula Sweeney."

Terry M.

Their firm has treated our referrals with outstanding professionalism, quality service, and prompt attention. Based on our experience and trust in Slack Davis Sanger, we look forward to a continued relationship for years to come."

"When we got into this I had no idea what to expect. You have all been honest and supportive through this whole process. This whole time I have felt like someone was on our side. That is not something we get very often. I can only hope that if someday you need something from me...I can deliver like you all have for us. If you ever need a reference, no one could explain it like me. We love the fact that your team is still fighting the good fight. I hope you nail those bastards until they have no choice but to fix the problem and make sure it never happens again."

Mike was the utmost of professional in assessing and explaining the complexity of injury related settlements and the impact they have on the individual and their family. At the same time, he was compassionate and sensitive to the emotional impact it had on both me and my family as we went through the process. He was diligent and thorough in identifying facts, witnesses, expert witness, and gathering information needed in order to fully present my case. His entire manner throughout my case was thoughtful, meticulous, caring and understanding of my ongoing medical issues.
