Not a good experience. Lost my case and blamed me for his mistakes. Was not professional in his work ethic nor his demeanor in front of the Judge on numerous occasions.

Biggest mistake to trust David to represent. He failed to inform even the basics, threatened outrageous additional fees when requested that he pull a cited record; absolutely refused to defend people. He repeatedly came to court unprepared saying "I was working on a big case." He would go months not returning phone calls or emails. Completely could not be bothered, stating, "I only took your case because I was going to be at the courthouse anyway."

I would highly recommend David Slepkow. Mr. Slepkow is an amazing man who cares very deeply about his clients. He went above and beyond to help me in my time of need, even if it meant working well past office hours because he is a very busy man. He'a always at the top of his game, knows all the in's and outs, and pointed me in the right direction EVERY time! Hand's down the BEST lawyer I have ever had!

David is an amazing attorney that knows the law. We came to him originally to consult with him in 2011 from out of state to talk to him about custody of my husband's son who lived in RI. Dealing with an out-of-state custody situation can be costly and complicated. He was upfront and honest and let us know his best opinion and at that time it was to wait until he was "of age" to decide.
Fast forward 6 years... The situation with my step-son had a lot of different variables, a lot of different things that a typical custody case. We were not going up against the mother; unfortunately she had passed away and the great-aunt had guardianship. David was strategic and skillful throughout the whole process. With a situation such as ours, it could have been long and drawn out. Everything moved quickly and from start to finish. ( approx 8 months) We now have custody and my step-son now lives with us out of state. Thank you David!

I have been through several lawyers in my custody battle. None of them handled the case like David. David spent countless hours fighting for not 1 but 2 of my children. He was very invested in our case and he really cared about the outcome of our case and my children. He was able to accurately depict what was going on with my childrens father and was able to win several cases that my ex had put against me. I have been through 4 lawyers in the state of Rhode Island and none of them cared like David did. He is the best lawyer in Rhode Island without a doubt. I would definitely recommend David to anyone looking for a lawyer. He is an amazing lawyer and Person.

As a female Ivy League trained Ph.D. with no legal knowledge, I understood the importance of hiring a knowledgeable and competent lawyer while doing through a divorce with real estate and children involved. I found Mr. Slepkow to be a strong advocate. He walked me through each step and paid exceptional attention to every detail. He was well versed in R.I. law. I felt that he was not only looking after my immediate needs but also protected my long term investments. He took the time to make sure I was well versed in all aspects of my case. He not only took the time for me, but he also offered to meet with my spouse to go over all the details of my requests. I could not have hoped for a better outcome. Mr. Slepkow worked around my schedule for appointments and returned every call promptly. On the personal side, I found him intelligent, pleasant and caring. I would recommend him to my closest friends and would use his firm for all future legal matters.

Won't follow theough with request to send copy of judgement 3 months of promises now. Told us we couldn't claim foster to adopt children as dependants to offset child support agreement. Charged 850 for one court date. Beyond the word horrible

Terrible Communication, spoiled and tempermental, lacks proper preparation, easily becomes frustrated and innefective. His level of attention greatly increase with the depth of his clients pocket.

David recently represented me in an uphill struggle to vacate a plea, then fight it. He was able to vacate the plea (which itself was an enormous accomplishment ) and then have the case dismissed. David is very knowledgeable, and clearly has done significant research in his field. What was also especially impressive to me was his excellent client service. He never went more than 24 hours to respond to messages, works on weekends, uses emails, and he clearly communicates procedures and potential scenarios. He was always on time, and sincerely wanted to provide tough defense. Hiring David is money well spent, and I wouldn't think twice about it.

David went above and beyond for my case. I had a difficult legal issue involving my children that spanned two jurisdictions with little case law. I had been frustrated for many years with travel out of state when my children lived here in Rhode Island with me. David spent a lot of time with me discussing the case, making sure I understood the legal issues and what we needed to do to get a result that benefited my children. He did an excellent job of responding to complex legal issues in open court. He was extremely responsive to me and always returned calls and emails very promptly. I also felt as though he cared about doing what was best for my children. I highly recommend him.

David is a great lawyer. He takes time to meet with clients to discuss their cases. He listens to the client and does an excellent job representing him/her. He is professional, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. Also, he is punctual- whether it is for a meeting or returning a phone call. I would highly recommend David to others.

Dave's representation is superb. He's been working diligently to make things right with my case. My wife was ordered back from Ca with my kids because of Dave’s relentless pursuit of justice. I have joint custody and have a great visitation schedule all because of Dave. He is highly organized, affordable, dedicated to his clients, and he never gives up. Friends and colleagues who have gone through a divorce have commented to me that they wished they had Dave Slepkow on their side after hearing my story. I feel very fortunate to have found him to represent me and wouldn’t change a thing. He is an asset to the field of family/divorce law.

He truly takes forever to get back. I would have to leave him 2-3 messeges before I would get a call back. Very bad communications skills. Most of the time I had to do my own research and get back to him with it all the while patting himself on the back

THIS GUY is why people HATE lawyers! He takes forEVER to ever get anything done, really doesn't seem to have a firm grasp on law and consistently goes against client wishes. When even the court clerks make fun of you, THAT"S BAD!
