I am incredibly impressed with Michael Campopiano and the exceptional service he and his team provided throughout my case. From our initial call, it was evident that Michael Campopiano was not only highly professional but also incredibly organized and dedicated. He and Lidia offered clear, insightful advice and took care of every detail, allowing me to focus on life without having to worry about the case. They went above and beyond to ensure I received the best representation/ results. Thanks to his tireless effort and commitment, I ended up very pleased as he exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Campopiano for anyone needing a top-notch attorney who will truly advocate for your best interests.

I highly recommend Tom and am confident in his expert representation for any legal matters. From the first call, he was on top of my needs. I recently moved to Florida and needed an expungement in Rhode Island. I called his offices and left a message with my name, what I needed and my phone number. On the initial call, he had already looked up my record, had an answer for me and a very reasonable quote for services. I didn't even need to travel back to Rhode Island saving me both time and money. He was responsive, professional and reassuring throughout the process. I will definitely rely upon him again for any legal matters.

Attorney Saikon and her team did a phenomenal job with my case. I had an immigration case where I have been an international student in the US for a while and then I got married so I had to do a change of status. She made sure that we had everything that we needed, to the point where we did not need an interview. My case was approved within 6 months and everything went smoothly. Attorney Saikon is very thorough, strategic and professional. She went the extra mile to make sure that everything was done perfectly and within a timely manner. I highly recommend her services. My husband and I are grateful for everything she has done. Definitely worth it!

This was my second time working with Saikon. Both of my cases were settled fast and to my satisfaction. She found great places to repair my cars. Within an hour of speaking to her, I had rentals within my budget. She handled every bill relating to the accidents. There was so much weight lifted off my shoulders during both processes and it was great having someone who cared about my overall health. Thank you Saikon!

Rui has been an exceptional attorney since I first hired him two and a half years ago. When I first consulted him about my separation and divorce I was not anticipating the high level of conflict my divorce would have. Rui was there for me every step of the way offering his extensive legal expertise, support, compassion, and the hard truths of the family court system as necessary. He was able to get my children and I out of an abusive situation and obtain an advantageous divorce agreement both financially and in regard to custody arrangements. When my ex has attempted to drag me back into family court Rui and his team have been there to assist me quickly and with excellent results. Rui is mindful of his clients’ time and money, and is a caring and honest person. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone in need of a family court attorney.

Joe is not only a great lawyer, but he’s also very empathetic and straight forward with every step of the process every time I left his office or got done with emails or phone calls with him I wasn’t left with questions because of how much information he really does give you to make sure you are fully confident in everything going forward and understanding of the process! Joe is an outstanding attorney he made the court process as smooth as butter making sure I had all of the information a few weeks beforehand and met me outside of the court room because he knew I was anxious about all of it! I will always recommend joe to every family member or friend who is going through what I just did or anything else he could help with because he seriously made such a stressful situation not as stressful as it would have been! Thank you Joe for everything!!!

I would highly recommend Attorney Greg Hoffman. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly has a calming and compassionate demeanor. He was quick to answer all of my questions at any time and explained the processes in a very thorough manner along the way. While tirelessly advocating for me, he settled my case, and I was able to receive well above my expectations. I am immensely grateful to Greg for the help he provided, and I would highly recommend!

Greg was better than I could have imagined. My case came up just a few days before I was supposed to leave the country and he handled it perfectly. He talked with the judges and prosecutors to move my court dates earlier so I was able to travel, explain my situation and worked out a solution that allowed me to continue my plans as if nothing happened. Even while out of country he has been in contact with me for resolutions on all matters. Everything in my power will make sure I never need a lawyer again, but if so, or if someone I know needs a recommendation, I will not hesitate to give them Greg’s contact. If more than 5 stars were possible, I’d give 10.

I hired Gregory Hoffman to represent me in a civil case against an ex-partner of mine in December of 2020.
I will start off by saying that every case is different, and therefore, every outcome is different. Below is an account of my unique case and experience with Gregory Hoffman.
My case was kind of a two-parter and because of this, Mr. Hoffman and I had to appear in court a couple of times. Both times, Mr. Hoffman was incredible enough to travel over an hour from Rhode Island to Massachusetts where my case was being heard, and both times he wasn’t just punctual; he was early. I’ve heard horror stories of people waiting for their lawyers to show up for hours, and I’ve even heard some where the lawyer doesn’t show at all. Rest assured, Gregory Hoffman will show and he will be there on time, if not early.
Mr. Hoffman, himself, was quite professional. In court he was well dressed, articulate, calm, confident, and when it came to knowing the “rules of the game”, as they pertained to Massachusetts law, he was very well versed. He made sure that in the weeks leading up to the court date he and I were both thoroughly equipped with all the documentation we needed to aid us in emerging victorious.
What really speaks to the professionalism of any lawyer, though, is what hopes and dreams they try and sell you about your case. Please be aware that any good lawyer, will not attempt to sell you a single one. A good lawyer will not give you any false hope, nor make any promises nor guarantees as to the outcome of your case, and Gregory Hoffman was up front about this with me right from the start. He also didn’t compare my case with any other, either. He treated my case as its own unique entity and that’s exactly what I was looking for in representation.
Mr. Hoffman was also very compassionate and understanding when it came to me and the details of my case. Again, I’ve heard horror stories where lawyers will not walk through things with their clients because they don’t care, don’t have the time, or both. Once again, rest assured that Gregory Hoffman has a heart and actually cares about his clients. He was always readily available to answer any and all questions I had, he explained things clearly so that I understood, and he even made time after the second hearing to talk to me and give his opinion on my then situation, which I appreciated and valued very much.
The Court’s decision after the second hearing did, indeed, result in victory for us. Again, this review is not to guarantee a win should you hire Gregory Hoffman, but my opinion based on my personal experience is; if you do hire Mr. Hoffman, your chances of coming out on top and satisfied with your outcome are pretty high. ;)

Joe Marasco leads a fantastic team of PI attorneys. I have had two auto accidents (one quite serious, neither my fault), and this firm has made recovery from injuries possible for me.

Attorney Francis Connor lll met my hopes and expectations and then some. He was forthright, conscientious and reliable. He did what he said he was going to do in the demanding time frame we had to work with. He has superb judgment and simply put, very smart. He edited the draft of my written response so that it was unassailably professional. The environment was non-judgemental which supported unhampered dialogue. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the process and the outcome.

I greatly appreciated Mr. Connor's legal help. He was a very reassuring presence during a difficult time.

I recommend him highly, without reserve.

Attorney Manosh clearly knows what she is doing, cares about her clients, and proves it over and over again. The work Attorney Manosh did for me made me feel confident and in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to a friend, family member, or colleague.

Sometimes life's circumstances require navigating the particulars of our legal system and that journey is certainly made easier with Manosh Law.
Like most, my legal needs required an experienced attorney who understood the details of my case and they related to governing laws. But I also needed an attorney who would listen, advise & educate me throughout the process. Attorney Kara Manosh did exactly that.
The consistency of her timely responses to all my inquiries - regardless of the hour - gave me the confidence and trust that Kara was treating my case as I was treating it: with the utmost importance and priority.
Providing calming words and perspective when needed, Kara proved time-and-again she cared not only about my case but for me as an individual.
I would recommend this firm to anyone without hesitation: Manosh Law took on a role as my attorney and ended as a trusted advisor and advocate who will always be my first call if life's circumstances involve the legal system again.

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!

Good day. Approx. 3 years ago me and my service dog were attacked by 2 pitbulls that were loose. My dog was almost killed and I sustained serious injuries that kept me incapacitated for months.
The dog's owner had no home owner's insurance and he would not cooperate. D'Oliveira and associates refused to take the case because there was no insurance. Attorney Morse took my case out of kindness and he did a fantastic job. He didn't have to take my case and I am eternally grateful for his help and insight. He is a class act and deserves any accolades sent his way.
THANK YOU SIR.

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

Miriam Ross, Esq. is absolutely fantastic! She has been a trusted advisor of mine for years and across multiple businesses/industries. She has a vast amount of business and legal knowledge and connections combined with a reputation that is second to none. Whether you need to form an entity, draft internal, supplier, or consumer contracts, NDA's or other legal documents/letters, Miriam A. Ross is the one you need to call. Her knowledge and experience have provided me with the proper legal structure and advice for both of my start-up companies and I will continue to use her services as long as she is in business. She also handles partner disputes with finesse and although I have not used her for this reason yet, I wanted to mention another one of her specialties I am aware she does a great job at!

My business hired Miriam to write a contract for a Convertible Note for some potential investors. Miriam helped us set up our business's LLC structure to accommodate such a Note, and helped us execute the agreement successfully. We subsequently hired Miriam to write a Joint Venture Agreement with another individual to pursue an opportunity to grow our business further. Again, Miriam worked with us from the beginning until the agreement was successfully executed to ensure that we got it right. Miriam is thorough, asks the right questions, and always comes to an understanding of exactly what it is that you want. She excels at translating your wants into black-and-white contracts that thoroughly protect your interests, are fair not only to you but also to the individual(s) with whom you're contracting, and that navigate laws and potentially unforeseen scenarios to provide resolutions in advance to potential problems that could occur throughout the duration of the contract. Miriam has helped us lay a solid foundation for our business from which we have been able to thrive, and I would recommend her services to anyone.

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 !!!!

Thank you George for making this horrible situation tolerable.

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.

He won my case and my settlement was more than I hoped for. His staff was always helpful and professional. I would certainly recommend Mark.

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.

First, let me say that I am so very grateful for the legal counsel and guidance that Attorney Louise provided. Louise was a fierce advocate, a discerning legal expert, and a consummate professional. She fought for me when I could not fight for myself. Through it all, she has become a lifelong friend to whom I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Attorney Louise's services without hesitation!

I am an entrepreneur and have worked with many different attorneys in the process of launching and growing a number of different businesses. As a client of Henry Kates, I have found Henry's council to be extremely useful in shaping our agreements for funding, contracts, support work, talent and more. Henry's value to us has included his business building perspective that extends well beyond legal support. In many ways, Henry has become our go-to source for sound business advice coupled with legal work that enables growth rather than inhibiting it because of adversarial legal posturing. I can enthusiastically recommend Henry for any client seeking to have their legal work contribute strongly to incentivizing business growth.

Attorney Kates is a rarity. He combines a deep foundation of law and business with common sense, developing practical solutions for even the most complex problems. I have used Attorney Kates to both open and close businesses and for a myriad of transactions in between for my for-profit businesses and as an adviser for several large, non-profits for which I volunteer. Attorney Kates's breath of experience and attention to detail set him apart, and he quickly becomes a trusted business partner. I recommend Attorney Kates without reservation for any organization, whether for-profit or non-profit.

The Greater Providence YMCA has legal needs that range from complex land issues to quick reviews of contract clauses. In all cases, Henry Kates responds quickly breaking down the issue to a specific legal point that can be addressed and resolved. He is able to provide guidance in negotiating solutions that are satisfactory to all. When we are not able to resolve a matter to our satisfaction, Henry clearly identifies the ramifications of any compromise necessary and helps us arrive at a decision. Henry is readily available for a quick phone call to answer a pressing question for immediate resolution. We have great confidence in Henry and have comfort that we can rely on his advice and expertise.

We retained our own lawyer in an adoption case because of the incompetence of the adoption agency's lawyer. Strachman stayed on target through multiple hearings and kept the case moving along. He ensured the termination of parental rights of both birth parents and helped foster an open adoption agreement between us and the birth mom.
His communication is direct, succinct, and realistic. He helped seal what should have been an easy case. He is pricey, but it's worth every penny!

Attorney Strachman is an excellent attorney. When I was getting a divorce, he was extremely professional and was intimidating at first but it was a good thing against my ex-husbands attorney and I got way more than I thought I ever would. Yet it was a very fair settlement considering my ex owed me for taking all of my credit which I have great credit now only after a few years apposed to 7 years or more!

Andrew has executed with nothing less than absolute athourity and confidence in the law. I am incredibly thankful to have had Andrew representing me on a number of occasions. Also, everyone that I have referred Andrew to in the past has also called me and thanked me for pointing them in the right direction. Professionalism, accuracy, and diligence are the 3 adjectives I think of when describing him in the legal situations.

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 worked with me on a relocation case for nearly a year. She was prompt getting back to me and did so much leg work during the case and has continued to remain on top of things after it was settled. She was always understanding and explained things so that I didn't have any further questions. She was incredibly thorough and a constant professional. 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.
