As effective advocates on behalf of Rhode Island (RI) and Massachusetts (MA) children and families, we encourage settlement and compromise and strive to bring about resolutions that help minimize the financial and emotional impact of divorce. Our extensive experience as litigators, mediators and Guardian Ad Litem give us a unique perspective on the best way ¿to get to the middle of what can often be a challenging situation. However, when required, we vigorously uphold the rights of our clients and aggressively pursue their best interests.
In addition to our practice in family law, we also serve clients with Rhode Island (RI) and Massachusetts (MA) personal injury claims, estate planning needs, and District Court criminal misdemeanor matters.
Retaining your own legal counsel is a wise decision. Dissolving a marriage is emotionally exhausting and legal complications often occur. Each party should retain an attorney to ensure that his / her interests, both present and future, are best served in the final decree.
