- 5/5/stars – Posted by Mary July 20, 2019: ABSOLUTELY BEST LAWYER IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND! I would highly recommend David Slepkow. Mr. Slepkow is an amazing and kind hearted 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. He know’s all the in’s and outs, always on top of his game, and pointed me in the right direction EVERY time. Hand’s down the BEST lawyer I have ever had!
- 5 star review – Posted by anonymous March 26, 2019 – HONEST, HUMBLE ATTORNEY WITH SKILL AND EXPERTISE. David was the second attorney I hired. I was glad I made the change. While my first attorney was pressuring me to accept a bad deal, David always listened to my concerns and gave me clear legal advice leaving me in charge of my decisions. I appreciated this about him the most. In the end, he got me much more time with my daughter and a much bigger financial settlement. If you are seeking an honest, humble attorney with skill and expertise, David is your man. A rare find these days!
- 5 stars – Posted by anonymous May 13, 2019 – I hired David to represent me during my divorce. Right from the beginning David was clear about my options. My situation was a bit different in that I was dealing with concerns around common law marriage. David knew the law and gave me clear counsel. David worked with me thoughtfully. This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
- 5 Out of 5 “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.”
- 5 Out of 5 “David has been a blessing to my son. I was thrust into a custody conflict that coincided with a high profile Superior Court case regarding my son’s mother. From the onset the concern of David was my son’s well being. I was lost and paranoid with the legal jargon and overall overwhelming court process. After my first encounter with David as my counsel, my anxiety and fears were countered with confidence. David has the wealth of knowledge in the legal system that one desires in a lawyer. It is extensive and irreplaceable. He is also extremely respectful and caring to ones emotions during such a trying time as Family Court can effectuate. I did my homework choosing counsel. It paid off with one not concerned about himself, only my son. The stakes were my son’s well being now and moving forward. Because of David my son is home where he belongs and is succeeding emotionally and academically. I owe David more than I can ever give. My Son is my world and because of David, He is next me everyday”
- GRATEFUL FOR DAVID SLEPKOW! “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!”
- David is an AMAZING LAWYER. He is honestly brilliant. Ive had many conversations with him regarding my high conflict custody battle and I’m always incredibly impressed by how he assesses each situation. I respect him very much for always being honest with me, even if what he’s saying is not what I was hoping to hear. He’s very knowledgeable and has helped me to protect my child for years now. He has never let us down and I truly believe that he cares about my case and the outcome. He’s committed and experienced and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer. I had several consultations with several lawyers before choosing David, and I’ve never regretted choosing him once.”
- 5 Out of 5 “David has been my go to person for a continuing problem with my ex wife. We have a new motion pending, but I believe he will bring me to a favorable ruling as he has before. He is smart, personable, and well qualified to help you with your case. Thanks Dave- Robert K RID: 110445
- Courtney H. – I went to David with a work related DCYF matter. HE WAS EXCELLENT! He had my best interest from day one! Issue is resolved! He saved my career!”
- Posted by Sarah – BEST LAWYER IN RHODE ISLAND! 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. “DAVID SLEPKOW IS THE BEST!”
- Paula H. – I never take the time to write reviews because I am not easy to please I admit. DAVID SLEPKOW IS THE BEST! I feel connected to him because he held my hand through my entire divorce which wasn’t pretty. I interviewed 2 attorneys before him and felt like a number. Thank you David for not only winning my case but for allowing me to cry on your shoulder. I hope that women mainly see this review because any woman I know for a fact will be grateful for you! Also your prices we’re the most reasonable.
- Posted by anonymous – David Slepkow has a BRILLIANT COURT PRESENCE. He is articulate and concise. His knowledge of the law is unsurpassed. I have nothing but complete success on every legal issue in which he has represented me. I would go as far as to call him an advocate for women. I highly recommend David Slepkow. I first contacted David Slepkow in 2006 for advice on a difficult issue. When meeting in his office he is soft spoken and takes the time to explain the benefits and the consequences of every question and/or request you may have. He returns all phone calls and has always been flexible in scheduling meetings. David displays a personal investment in the best needs and outcomes of his clients. Knowing Mr. Slepkow for almost a decade, I find him to be a well-educated, intelligent and moral person.”
- 5 Stars- Posted by Michelle H. – “OUTSTANDING ADVOCATE” I was referred to David through a friend and client of his while looking to change counsel in the midst of a complicated motion in the Family Court. After meeting with David to review my case, it was evident that his knowledgable and understanding of the complicated Family Court System, that at times can leave families feeling quite vulernable, was outstanding. David did an exceptional job for me from explaining what the process would be, to the pros and cons of certain decisions, pointing back effortlessly to Case Laws which ultimately made the experience easier. What had been an ongoing struggle for months was effectively worked through in a half day morning session. I cannot say enough good things about his influence and abilities in the Family Court. David is a true champion in his field and comes highly recommended.
- 5 stars -Posted by Nicole – “EXCELLENT ATTORNEY, AMAZING PERSON!” I am not typically the type of person who writes reviews, however, I feel that in this case it is necessary. David was my attorney in a very contentious divorce that took place over a 2 year period. He bent over backwards for me and my 3 children. He was my saving grace! He went above and beyond the call of duty! David is extremely knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. David’s level of communication was great and his attention to detail was above par! I would highly recommend David!

- We have had a 5 year relationship with David Slepkow as our family lawyer. He helped us with a divorce and a custody battle. The mediation he did during the divorce made a amiable agreement possible. The custody issue was more involved and we felt confident the whole time that we would end up with the result we were hoping for. Most of the time the Father gets the short end of the stick. But with David we won full custody and placement. Something that rarely happens. We were also very impressed with the respect he receives from peers at the court and how well all the other attorneys and judges know him. When we go to court with him, we feel he is at ease and at home in the Rhode Island family court. He is very efficient and always returns calls and never seemed to rush through things that were important to us. When we get the bill, it seems reasonable and very accurate. We would highly recommend anyone in Rhode Island to use David Slepkow as an attorney.

- I recommend David Slepkow.
- David handled my Criminal Defense matter.
- 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.

- Very Diligent Family Lawyer
- I recommend David Slepkow
- David handled my Family matter.
- I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.
- 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.
