Our Practice Areas

The Rhode Island personal injury lawyers at Decof, Barry, Mega & Quinn, P.C. handle cases that make a difference, not only to our clients, but also to our community. We work entirely on “contingent fee” arrangements, which means our clients do not pay any fees unless we are successful. We represent individuals and families, and never represent insurance companies or large corporations. Most of our clients have experienced the most significant injury or illness they will ever suffer, and therefore require the extraordinary experience, skill, and dedication of our attorneys.
