From my first phone consultation where I explained my rather complex case, I felt right at ease with Scott. He was attentive and clearly able to sift through my complicated legal issues in order to take actions to help me. Scott outlined a plan and kept a clear and tight communication with me throughout our case. I was always in the loop and whenever I emailed or phoned him, Scott always answered me in a timely, efficient and clear manner.
I found Scott to be honest, kind, sincere and with good will. He possesses a strong work ethic. He is intelligent, warm, knowledgeable and friendly and when he said he would do something, he did it! I hold Scott J Summer in my highest esteem and I highly recommend him. It was both an honor and a privilege to have him represent me and I will use him again in a heartbeat should the need arise!

A couple yrs back I got hit by a car on a bike and I was all screwed up thousands of dollars in debt in hospital bills. I didn't know how I was gonna pay it back was pretty much done for. So when I got home from hospital I was in a lot of pain and stressed out cause my bike was totaled and didn't have money to pay the hospital bills due to not having health ins. Then there was a knock at my door and it was mr Landry my life saver he knew about my accident and said he wanted to help me. He then told me about how it all works how he don't get paid if I don't get paid and I don't have to come out my pocket for nothing. Therefore I signed the paperwork and went threw with it. He then began to fight my case immediately, at the time I was working I was out of work for a while but then went back but he kept in contact for a while, then I didn't hear from him for a while we lost contact and I pretty much gave up on the case I even considered getting another lawyer but that wasn't the case my house phone was acting up and wasn't saving my messages so I bought a new phone immediately I got a message from him and a missed call we then was back in contact. He then told me he was trying to reach me for some time but never could because I was never home and not replying to his messages. Then my phone got shut off and we lost contact again so he couldn't reach me and I lost his phone number. Out of no where he pops up at my door and says man your are a hard man to reach so I came by to make sure you were ok.I thought that was real cool, I have family that don't even come see me and he did. He then told me how he was still working on my case and he has a couple of deals to go over. We went threw the deals and he said we might be able to get better deal but might take a little more time or we can close this right now. So I said see what else you can do and he did. He kept in contact and was telling me the deals and everything going on with case like the hospital bills and what the opposite side was disguising and we went further with the case. A few months down the road we had a solid deal and I was please with the option so we. Closed the deal and before you know it I was free in debt my hospital bills were paid off and I was stress free. He called me a few times and discussed the paper work with me and told me to read it carefully and if I have any questions to contact him ASAP . I then got the paperwork and everything looked good it showed the hospital bills how much I was going to get and his percentage I just had to sign it and send it back to him and in a few weeks I would get a check. A few weeks later I got a check in the mail and it was what it said it was going to be and I was real happy cause I really could use it right then. He kept in contact and made sure I got the check and everything was ok and told me to save his number in case anything ever popped up or know anybody going threw the same problem. So if anybody needs a good lawyer I would recommend Kevin Landry cause he saved me and hunted me down when he couldn't reach me and not sure if any other lawyer does that. So thanks Kevin Landry for everything

Kevin was recommended to me by a friend, and how right she was about Kevin and his staff. They were Always Friendly and informative. Kevin himself takes the time to call you himself and explain procedures and options and has your best interest in mind. I am SOOOOO HAPPY to say that my case was settled out of court and am going to receive a substantial monetary settlement (much more than I had hoped for!!!) Thanks to Kevin and his staff. I will certainly recommend him to anyone who may be in need of legal services.

Brian was very helpful in consulting me regarding the matter of the passing of my Mother. His level headed and business like yet personable approach was exactly what was required in our time of need. His rates were extremely reasonable and his experience in all aspects surrounding this matter were indispensable. After ward, we hired him a second time to draw up personal documents of our own. Again his rates were very reasonable and turnaround time was nearly immediate.

Mr. Harvey is a highly capable and professional attorney who is sensitive to his clients' needs. His initial consultation was very professional and respectful, and he helped me fully understand the bankruptcy process and what I needed to do to proceed with my case. Even after filing, he was readily available to assist when I was furloughed and when unexpected medical bills required quick action from the court. His expert knowledge of the court, its procedures, and important points of contact enabled him to help me quickly and saved me much pain and suffering as I worked through the 5-year bankruptcy process. You will not find a better attorney in this area. Period.

I called George after sustaining an injury in a car accident that I was involved in. He was very diligent and responsive with my case and easy to deal with. What I really liked about him was that he was very prompt with returning my calls.
Before I hired George, I spoke with another attorney who said my case was not worth much because of my injuries but George was very aggressive with the insurance company and got me a lot more $$$ than I expected or what the other attorney had said my claim was worth.
Will definitely recommend to everyone I know !!!!

George was a great from the very first call. He is honest and works hard for his clients. He is not your typical lawyer who waits to be retained and then does nothing. He is currently working on my husbands immigration case and My husband and I could not have picked a better lawyer. He is sharp, responsive and passionate about what he does.
Thank you George for making this horrible situation tolerable.

When my son was diagnosed with a rare disability, I was told I would be his best advocate. Sometimes being an advocate isn’t enough, and a legal expert is necessary, and that’s where Ellen comes in. She truly cared m about my child’s needs, and made sure I could ensure those needs were met. I highly recommend!

Ms. Saideman represented both of my high functioning Autistic sons' in their individual SSI cases. This is after, other, bigger, law firms turned us down. She worked tirelessly to help them through their cases. My wife and I were very pleased with her efforts throughout this experience. She patiently answered our questions, set expectations, and addressed our fears as well as each of the boy's. In each case I was very impressed with her competence in the courtroom as she methodically addressed the expert testimony and the judge's questions. I would definitely recommend Ms. Saideman to anybody in a similar situation as us.

My Son and and I met Ellen Saideman due to a Plan drawn up at his high school, by his Teacher and the school Therapist. This Plan stated that due to my Autistic Sons' stress level and social anxieties, that he be limited in attending class functions such as field trips, and outings where he could be taught to interact in social situations. This Plan excluded him from such activities by denying him to go on all day activities outside of the school, by suggesting that he remain at home on said day or if it was raining or snowing, he was not to attend school on those days, as he had anxiety on those days. As we know, this drawn up an between Teacher and Therapist was unacceptable and unlawful. Attorney Saideman assured this school and it's faculty that it was indeed against the law and against Special Needs groups to have such a Plan in place.
Attorney Saideman, my Son, certain members of school faculty and myself, sat down to a meeting of what was and was not acceptable and all that it entailed in this situation and all was resolved.
Ellen Saideman was also instrumental in taking the time to get to know my Son by reading all school records and by including him in our meetings.
We were both appreciative in the assistance and guidance that was offered us by Ellen. She is very knowledgeable, professional and sensitive to the needs of those who cannot speak for themselves.
I would without hesitation, recommend Ellen Saideman in her representation of others in need of her services.
Sincerely,
Sandra

Atty Pederzani provided excellent representation for my divorce and child support cases. He has a calm and informative manner that put me at ease. In the court, however, he is aggressive and fought so I received everything I deserved. Several friends have used him and were also highly satisfied. Would highly recommend!

During long divorce proceedings, Attorney Pederzani worked with me patiently and professionally.His office manager always kept me informed, and I truly felt that the three of us were an effective team which resulted in a positive outcome for both the divorce settlement and, later, an increase in the child support. He's very knowledgable about the technicalities of military divorces and I would highly recommend him.

Will was able to resolve my claim against a governmental organization quickly! He drafted an excellent strongly-worded letter, addressing both the legal and factual issues. I was shocked when, only an hour or so after the letter was hand delivered, Will called me up. The organization, which had initially denying my claim in full, was now agreeing to everything I had requested! This result really speaks to Will's top-notch research and writing abilities. He also kept me informed every step of the way and kept to his word on the timeline. I would highly recommend Will.

Will advised me when I had an issue with buying out a partner. I'm glad I reached out to him before taking any action. His advice on the negotiation processed saved me hours of time and lots of capital. I was able to avoid many of the common mistakes and ultimately lead to my desired outcome.
I did not have to pursue legal action because of his initial advice.

I was extremely fortunate to get an excellent referral to Mark Gemma from a trusted mutual friend. Without this referral, I was uncertain how to begin searching for a lawyer to represent my best interests by putting me first, which is exactly what Mark and his law firm did without question or hesitation.
When I think of Mark Gemma and Gemma Law, these words immediately come to mind: Accessible. Attentive. Caring. Considerate. Ethical. Family. Honest. Intelligent. Professional. Prompt. Reliable. Responsive. Thorough. Trustworthy. There are many lawyers in Rhode Island and only a select few like Mark. I give Mark my absolute highest recommendation and will surely return whenever I am in need of his fine expertise legal services.

I recently went through a nightmare of a work discrimination situation, and am forever grateful that I found Louise! Her responsiveness was incredible: when things were time sensitive—she magically carved out moments to be on the phone, right when I needed her most. I was amazed at her ability to work with large amounts of information and immediately get to the heart of the matter.
I had talked to several lawyers before finding Louise Herman, and most of them sounded like car salesmen. They would immediately chat me up, asking me about my kids and hobbies, feigning intense interest right before quoting me huge dollar signs. In contrast, Louise is a truly genuine human being. I never doubted that she actually cared about my predicament. I’m sure being a lawyer is extremely difficult, but Louise has clearly retained what I can only assume is her true passion for helping people.
And I had only worked with her briefly before being amazed at the results: I ended up with more severance than I ever would have expected!
I am forever grateful to Louise, not just for the improved outcome for my work situation, but for her encouragement and support during one of the most difficult times of my life. I will never forget the clarity and compassion she offered when things were at their most difficult as she swiftly helped me navigate very complex issues. If you’re looking for a lawyer, you just found one.

I had a great experience working with Chris. He was very organized, thorough, and knowledgeable throughout the entire home buying process. Chris always took the time to walk me through each step and explain/clarify any questions I had for him. He was an extremely effective communicator - not only with myself, but all other parties involved (mortgage lender, real estate agents, seller etc) and made the entire process very easy for everyone. I highly recommend Chris and his team for their services.

I recently worked with Andrew to renew the E-2 visa status for our company and 4 of our employees. He and his team were extremely proactive and communicative throughout the entire process - providing detailed guidance, answering every question we could throw at them, and pulling all our paperwork together in a timely and efficient manner.
Their thorough approach gave us confidence to get on with our day jobs, and we ultimately breezed through our embassy interviews with no issues. We will be working with Andrew and the team at Green and Spiegel again in future, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody seeking help with immigration!

I hired Andrew to work on my green card application. He helped me throughout the entire process: collecting documents, reaching out to family for reference letters, putting together all of the paper work. He was extremely helpful in reviewing my work as I put it together and offered helpful feedback; he was always prompt in his replies.
Once we put in the application the process went well, including the interview, for which he helped me prepare. When there was a mistake made by the government in processing my application, Andrew very quickly went above and beyond to help me work through it and we had a successful outcome.
Andrew was nothing but professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him.

Angelina provided excellent counsel during my divorce proceedings. She discussed and reviewed all of my options in great detail, which was especially important to me regarding placement of my children. I especially apprecaited that she presented all options, with the pros and cons and likelyhood of success, without leading in me in one direction or another. I appreciated having the information to make the decision instead of having it made for me. It left me with the confidence that I chose the best available path forward.
In writing the agreement, she anticipated a number of areas that needed to be covered in the agreement that later proved to be critical.
In addition, her billing was very fair and accurate. Although I was the plaintiff and she did most of the work (initial complaint, wrote entire agreement and entered the order) her bill was smaller than my ex-wife's attorney's bill, which represented only a fraction of the effort of Angelina's work.
Lastly, going through a divorce, especially with small children involved, can be very emotional. She dealt well with my occasional emotion state by acknowledging my concerns and then calmly discussing the path forward.

Angelina is very easy to talk to, which is helpful in high stress situations, and was able to calm situations that would have otherwise been worse off. I would recommend her to anyone and have.

We hired Richard Gallone after a work related auto accident. Richard is very well educated and knowledgeable in his profession. He is very personable and yet very business oriented at the same time. He was right there for us from the very first time we met with him. We've hired other attorneys in the past but they were nothing like Richard. Anytime we called, he would either be right there to answer our questions or if he wasn't available at the time he would always return the call. That in itself was a huge difference. If you want the job done right, Call Richard Gallone We will recommend him to everyone we know.

Not only was I very happy with my closing, but I feel very knowledgeable of the process with his guidance. Everyone should use this lawyer.

I would highly recommend Mr. Slepkow to anyone requiring legal assistance.

I was in an automobile accident that left me in pain and without a car- it was a total loss. John Flanagan was able to successfully secure ample financial compensation for my pain and suffering. But what I found most impressive was his genuine concern for my well-being. The process of hiring an attorney seemed daunting and nerve wracking. John Flanagan made it apparent my health was his primary concern. Because of this, I was able to focus on my recovery while he took care of all the exchanges between the insurance companies. He was always professional and accommodating of my work schedule when scheduling meetings. He was readily available to discuss any questions or concerns I had at any time. I highly recommend John Flanagan.

John Flanagan has been our family Attorney for over 25 years. His services and involvement have run the gambit of car accidents, personal injuries, wills, powers of attorney, general counsel and personal advice, business start-ups and business closings. adoptions, divorces and tort incidents. Our family, in-laws and friends have been very well served for a number of incidents and although when younger, never realized the real importance of a good attorney, John's long term relationship and success is a testimony to his competence, character, integrity and sense of justice in a time where they very difficult to find, if they can be found at all.

We have worked with John Flanagan over a number of years. We had 2 car accidents and were very pleased with the outcome of both of them. He was very easy to work with. He was always quick to get back to us when we had questions. He always took the time to make sure we understood. I would recommend him and have recommended him to other people and these were also pleased with him. Thanks!

I was in need of lowering my Child support, 1 of my Boy's has already reached the age of 18 and my other is about to. I was going to handle this on my own, thinking it was a open and shut case. After reading the overwhelming snip it's online about how bad that really was to represent yourself, I started having 2nd thoughts. Then my Divorce started to flash through my head on how expensive that was to retain the Lawyer, then the court/filing fee's etc..etc.. So this time instead of looking up the top names in RI, I decided to surf the web for reasonable Attorneys. I am glad I did that and glad I came across Mr. Pearsall, he was and is nothing short of professional, called me back when needed, answered all my e-mails in a timely manner and recommended we try and get both Boy's child support terminated together so I would not have to go back to court again in 2 months. Glad to say with his help and guidance all went well today, and I am now free of Child support. Would recommend Mr. Pearsall to anyone in need of a Lawyer that will work for you.

After what I thought was a mutual and uncontested divorce I had to retain Attorney Pearsall when my X began alienating my children from me and threatening to litigate against me if I did not pay more in child support that I was required, or pay her additional monies she was not entitled to. I unfortunately handled the case PRO SE and made a few legal errors which came back to haunt me. Attorney Pearsall was able to block litigations against me attempting to extract additional monies, and get a court ruling providing for once a week parenting time with my minor daughter. If I had retained his services instead of going it PRO SE things would have been so much easier and turned out so much better for me and my kids.

I was served with divorce papers only one week before a court hearing and was expected to answer. By law 30 days are required to answer. I had no idea how to proceed with this under the stress I was in on such short notice. I was desperate to find legal representation at the last minute. Beside the fact of the stress I was under because my husband was divorcing me for another woman. Having little experience at this situation left me anxious and afraid. I did an internet search for local attorneys and stumbled upon attorney Christopher Pearsall's website www.rhodeislanddivorcetips.com. Being a skeptic, I scoured the internet to find reviews on Attorney Pearsall's work. He seemed like an honest guy so I took a chance. Under the time constraints, Attorney Pearsall came through for me literally the day of my hearing. He handled everything for me with the utmost professionalism and reassured me that everything would turn out alright. Attorney Pearsall also did not charge me an arm and a leg for his service like some attorneys. He kept me informed while waiting for my husband's attorney to file the final documents, late once again. Going through a divorce is tough enough, make sure you get a professional attorney that is concerned for your interest. Attorney Christopher Pearsall is that person. He will prove that to you. I highly recommend attorney Christopher Pearsall.

I hired Matt to help me with my wrongful termination case against my former employer. He strategically communicated with my former employer and their lawyer in a way that facilitated positive action and conversation. From this he negotiated a successful settlement for me — which gave me some cushion and peace of mind for the next step in my career and life. Matt was very generous, responsive, and flexible with his time and fees. He was truly a steadfast advocate for me in what could have been stressful experience — it felt like I was working with a good friend!

Matt Plain is a knowledgeable, thorough, and fierce advocate who represented me while I dealt with my former employer. After three years of service and consistently positive reviews, I was given a negative review and encouraged to move on due to school house politics. Mr. Plain knew the laws and my rights and was thus able to fight for my best interests. Thanks to Matt, I was able to leave with my dignity and the means to provide for my family during a difficult transition. I cannot thank him enough for his work.

I have gone to Attorney Martinous for several different legal matters. He is courteous and professional, easy to talk to, and accessible when I needed to speak with him. He promptly returns phone calls.
Martinous Law is quite a beautiful building, inside and out. But what I really appreciate is the convenient onsite parking and accessibility for all his clients. The firm is only a few minutes away from my home.
I have referred, and will continue to refer, all of my family and friends to his firm and all have been very satisfied with his firm and staff members. I would not hesitate to return to Attorney Martinous in the future, should I need legal services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal services.
