He now provides outstanding representation to our clients in product liability, general liability, medical malpractice, and intentional misconduct cases. In addition, due to his achievements before the Rhode Island Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Mr. Klein now personally handles almost all appellate matters for our clients.
