Rhode Island lawyer David Slepkow is honored to be a member of the United States Supreme Court Bar, having been admitted to the nation’s highest court in 2012. For David, this distinction represents the pinnacle of a legal career built on dedication to his clients — but rather than resting on that achievement, he remains committed to providing high-quality, aggressive, timely, and effective legal representation to Rhode Island and Massachusetts clients for many years to come.
Sworn Into the U.S. Supreme Court Bar
On February 22, 2012, David traveled to Washington, D.C. for a formal swearing-in ceremony at the United States Supreme Court. He was among a small, select group of accomplished attorneys admitted to this exclusive bar that day — a distinction reserved for a limited number of practicing lawyers nationwide. David was honored to have been selected for this recognition by a major law school, further validating the caliber of legal work that defines his practice.
Admission to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar is not an automatic credential; it requires an attorney to meet specific eligibility standards, secure sponsorship, and formally petition the Court. For David, earning this recognition capped years of dedicated advocacy on behalf of Rhode Island clients in personal injury, family law, and beyond.
A Precedential 5-0 Win at the Rhode Island Supreme Court
David’s admission to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar followed closely on the heels of a significant and precedential legal victory closer to home. In 2011, representing his client in Rogers v. Rogers, David challenged a decision issued by a Rhode Island trial court judge. He successfully persuaded all five Justices of the Rhode Island Supreme Court to vacate the lower court’s incorrect ruling — a unanimous 5-0 decision in favor of his client.
The ruling was more than a personal win for David’s client; it was a precedential decision that helped clarify and define the jurisdictional boundaries of the lower court. Cases that shape how future courts interpret jurisdictional authority carry significance well beyond the individual parties involved, and David’s role in securing this outcome reflects the depth of his appellate advocacy skills.
AVVO “Superb” Rated Attorney
David holds a “Superb” rating from AVVO, a leading legal information and attorney-rating platform — the highest rating AVVO awards to any lawyer. This rating reflects a combination of experience, professional conduct, and client feedback. David takes particular pride in the many five-star reviews he has earned from former clients over the course of his career, a track record that reinforces his impressive resume.
In addition to his AVVO recognition, David is a member of the Rhode Island Bar Association and the Massachusetts Bar. For more than ten years, he was also a member of the Bar for the Federal Court, First Circuit, District of Rhode Island. David is a Partner and Owner of Slepkow Law, LLC.
