Slosberg was representing Sally Morse on a criminal case before the superior court when he was expecting to be formally appointed as the attorney of Ms. Morse for the following week. When he was not appointed, he considered the court as "very offensive" and that he was "screwed" many times before. He even tried to argue with the court using offending language and threatened the court of complaining to the presiding justice to the committee on judicial responsibility. His disrespect towards the court led to violation of Maine bar rules 3.1(a), 3.2 (f)(4) and 3.7 (e)(2)(vi).

After the court made inquiry on the case proceeded by the state, represented by deputy district attorney, it was found that Slosberg have failed to understand the agreement proposed by the state. Machado agreed to plead before the court understanding the sentences to be concurrent but Slosberg did not inform Machado that the sentence were consecutive. In view of the court, Slosberg violated the Maine bar rule 3.1(a)(2) for which he was declined from the case. A new attorney was to be appointed for the proceedings of the case.
