One of the biggest things I noticed from the Google reviews is that many people reported the Slate Legal Group would take their fees before anything was settled.

The person below even mentions that they had to call Slate Legal Group to remind them to make the payments.

Slate Legal Group appears to be a Debt Relief law firm that is pitching debt settlement. I wouldn’t be surprised if Slate Legal Group was tied to a much bigger organization as it appears that there are more of these firms that have similarities.
When I look at these companies, I like to understand how old the website is and see any information I can about the company.
What I found interesting is that Slate Legal Group's website (per Wayback machine) has been around for almost 5 years according to BBB, but their website is only 3 years old.
