Actually TALKS to Clients/Prospective Clients

I am a retired attorney myself, now seeking an attorney to help with a defective mesh implant I had years ago. I called between 10 and 20 firms claiming to be “experts” in hernia mesh claims. I received a return call from every single firm EXCEPT DAVID’s from someone at a call center screening for va...lid mesh cases who followed an apparent script they had been given. The screeners had no apparent legal or medical experience and they certainly weren’t attorneys. They did not understand any medical procedures, especially if not listed on their script so I found myself explaining medical processes to them. In fact, because my situation is somewhat unusual and I couldn’t honestly say “yes” in response to one of the screener questions but rather need to explain my answer to someone who understood the medical and legal processes, I was told by several screeners (with no legal or medical training or experience) that I did not have a claim and their lawyer “couldn’t help me.” The majority of the firms did in fact accept my claim and agreed to represent me after a several day process of lawyer review, but David LISTENED TO ME on my initial call, understood exactly what my medical situation was and took it upon himself to represent me in conjunction with another attorney he asked to contact me directly. David is extremely knowledgeable and he listens and he helps clients. From now on, I will always call David first and not waste hours and hours talking to screeners and non-legal, non-medical call center employees.

Honest and straightforward

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.

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 than 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!

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 time...s 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.

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 t...he 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!
