Helping Those Who Have Suffered Catastrophic Injuries or the Wrongful Death of a Loved One

After a serious injury or the loss of a loved one, you deserve the best legal representation. The at-fault party should be held accountable, but you may face numerous obstacles along the way.

A Rhode Island personal injury lawyer will level the playing field so you can pursue the compensation you need to rebuild.

Since our establishment in 1975, we have had unparalleled success in holding individuals and corporations accountable for their negligence and wrongdoing.
