Robert C. Slim:
well um my name is Robert Slim I have uh a solo practice here in the Dallas Fort Worth area I have an office in Dallas and I’ve been practicing in the Dallas area since 1995 I graduated from Baylor law school in May of 94 and was licensed to practice law in November of 94 and uh my first job out of um uh Law School here in the Dallas area was in personal injury and that’s where I cut my teeth and I worked uh for a firm uh for about four years five years or so before I went off my off on my own uh in uh 1999 and so since then I’ve been working on my own as a solo practitioner and uh you know I pride my practice on staying a solo practitioner I like to stay small and manageable and make sure that I am dealing personally with the clients rather than you know it’s really frustrating one of the things I hear from a lot of uh people out there is they they never hear from their attorney and and uh yes and and and they never get to talk to their attorney and and I hear uh quite the opposite from my clients uh sometimes they think I talk to them and deal with them too communicate with them too often but uh that’s the way I like it
Host:

Robert C. Slim:
intake yeah yeah and you know when I say I’m a solo firm I mean that literally it’s just me and my computer and so I uh and I’m I I operate paperless and so uh I’m able to uh service my clients in a very efficient manner and I keep my case load manageable you know
Host:

Robert C. Slim:
absolutely you know on my website I have a uh uh a case information form that I always encourage people to fill out and send to me kind of give me a brief description of their case and I read it over and I reply to them fairly promptly probably within you know 30 minutes sometimes an hour maybe a couple hours just depends you know if I’m busy at the time but I reply to every single one and uh uh if uh further discussion is necessary I’ll call the number that you leave on there or uh you can call me or whatever it is yeah well
