Claims and Dispute Resolution

Slates Harwell’s lawyers are recognized for their litigation skills with many receiving statewide and national accolades for their work. Slates Harwell stands ready to assist clients with any issues that might arise while remaining committed to an approach that is cost-effective and that seeks a resolution that is in the best business interests of our client.
