Glenn Slate M.A., J.D.

Managing Attorney

Glenn Slate grew up cutting hay by hand and chopping ten cords of wood every winter for his family’s 150-acre farm. Milking a cow with his Father was a daily chore and he can recount many a great story his Father would tell him about the important things in life. He eventually left for college at the University of Massachusetts, where he got his degree in psychology. Glenn was fascinated with how the mind worked. When he graduated, he was employed at a lockdown residential facility for dual diagnosis patients. It was here that he learned to “see behind the curtain” and understand how people made decisions, and what motivated and helped them reach their goals.

In his thirst for more knowledge, he left for graduate school in Georgia, where he obtained his master’s in psychology. Graduate school introduced him to law and psychology, which led him to Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. By the time he passed the bar, he had already worked as a law clerk, defending families who had lost their children to foster care.

Glenn employs the values he was taught growing up; things like speak with integrity, back up your word, treat people with respect, and always take the high road. One of his favorite sayings is that “the best result you can get in family law is to convince the other side it’s not worth the fight. However, if you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t prepare well enough.” Ever the white knight, he vigorously exposes and defends against opposing parties who will lie, manipulate or try to take advantage of others. If you want to see him get his dander up, try to use a child as a weapon in negotiations.

Glenn’s career has had two focuses: family law and business law. For ten years, he was General Counsel for one of Oregon’s fastest growing technology and e-commerce companies, when Internet law was still the Wild West. Since then he’s managed his own civil litigation firm in Northeast Washington and Idaho.

Glenn has received multiple awards, including “Client’s Choice” and “Top 10 Best Divorce Attorneys”. He’s also on the Character and Fitness Board for Washington State and is a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, where he was a featured speaker on “Third Party Custody” at the National Conference in 2016.

Heritage Family Law I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Heritage Family Law and my attorney who has been an unwavering pillar of support during my challenging custody battle. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for my situation have made a profound impact on my life and the lives of my children. From the very beginning, my attorney took the time to understand the intricacies of my case and provided me with a clear and honest assessment of my options. They were always available to answer my questions and address my concerns, making me feel heard and understood throughout the entire process. During the court proceedings, my attorney was well-prepared and articulate, presenting a compelling case on my behalf. Their knowledge of family law and their ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome for my children and me. What truly sets Heritage Family Law apart is their genuine empathy and compassion. They never treated me as just another client; instead, they made me feel like a valued friend who was going through a difficult time. Their emotional support and encouragement helped me stay strong and focused on what was truly important - the well-being of my children.

Christine Dow was one of the easiest most down to earth Attorney’s I’ve dealt with! Definitely helped me through a tough time and made sense out of a lot of courtroom talk for me! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

My experience with this law firm was amazing. It all started with my consult with Glenn where he was very informative and upfront about the cost of their services. and then Joshua was great as a paralegal. He was on top of everything with all the paperwork. And Amanda was a Rockstar Lawyer. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and I had all faith in her that she would get the job done. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a family lawyer.

Let's be clear, talking to a lawyer, well its never fun. That being said, this went as well as I could have hoped. I feel confident having spoken to Mr Slate, he is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I felt well informed with a clear idea of what the next intended steps were. When I was finalizing the paperwork, it felt like the office staff came together to help me and make sure I had everything I needed. Everyone was patient, kind and friendly. It speaks to a good atmosphere in the office, and to me that says a lot about an Attorney's Office that deals with Family Law. I would absolutely feel good recommending them to anyone that is in need of legal help in Vancouver, WA.

Josh and Amanda Thank you so much for skillfully correcting course on my complicated case. I appreciate your hard work, attention to detail, open communication, and unwavering courage. You delivered us a level playing field -- my faith restored in the process. Grateful to have Heritage Law on my team, at my side, as we move to close our case. Let's play ball!

Dealing with divorce from an emotional and business perspective is difficult! From my initial consultation with Glen then working through the details with Georgia and Joshua, I felt I had a responsive team providing efficient, practical, and fair advice that made for an efficient divorce process. My ex-wife ended up filing jointly through Heritage because her attorney was not as responsive. Professional, moral, knowledgable, and efficient. I liked that if one was busy or in court, another team member was available and knew about my case. Doing most the work with Joshua also saved on the overall costs. I felt the billing and time spent was open, honest, and transparent in how they reported/charged their time, and invoiced it back to the retainer. We completed the Divorce process, including supported my Ex as needed, all under the initial retainer budget. The team was understanding and compassionate about the tough time we faced through my divorce...tactfully professional.
