Louis Grande is an outstanding lawyer to say the least. His transparency, and ability to break down the steps of the case assured me he was the right lawyer for the job. He 100% stuck to his word and got me the most I could for my severe injury. In my experience, I will say Louis Grande is the best Injury lawyer in Rhode Island.

I would highly recommend hiring this amazing team of lawyers and Frank Orabona especially. As soon as he took the case he knew exactly what to do and was as aggressive as he needed to be in order to get a positive outcome. When situations like this happen it is always a scary process but Frank and he’s team always made me feel at ease knowing they were doing everything posible for me. They explained everything step by step and thanks to them I am now able to continue my life with a positive outcome on this case. I cant imagine how life would've turned out had Frank not been involved.

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. ;)

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.

I was a client for a divorce. Richard provided aggressive, thorough legal representation from beginning to end. He was very accessible and always there when I had questions. Although I reconciled with my husband in the 11th hour, Richard never made me feel as if I had done the wrong thing or made a bad decision. He was very supportive throughout the whole process. He is an excellent attorney and an utmost professional. I would highly recommend his services.

Mr. Merola personally handled my divorce and Child Custody Cases.
Mr. Merola and the members of his staff professional representation and mannerisms guided me thru the darkest time of my life.
During this time emotions are high and having a professional like Mr. Merola is essential to insure a positive future.
Mr. Merola lived up to his reputation and my expectations and as a result, my daughter and I reside together and live a very enjoyable life.
None of this would have been possible without Mr. Merola and his wonderful team.

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!

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.

It is difficult to rate a lawyer. Obviously you like your lawyer if it goes your way and not if it doesn’t You can get lucky with a judge who takes your side which may have nothing to do with your case or your lawyer. We all know that the judicial system is most definitely partial. I feel that I am in a good place to review as I had several lawyers for my divorce and following the settlement. Oftentimes the law does not protect you even though it has made a ruling and it is necessary later to go back to court. Finally, Steven Wright was recommended to me by a lawyer acquaintance. The difference between Steven and all others was his knowledges of the law, his diligence, skill and honesty. He answered my questions before I had them. He immediately had a plan and a task list. He was also amazingly compassionate. My ex husband is a scoundrel. I had no idea of the difficulties I would face. My only regret was that I hadn’t found him from the beginning. Steven will work for you, not for an easy settlement as many do. He knows the system and the people to get things done. In no short order he saved my dignity, my career and my children from the anguish divorce will cause. I am not a person that writes reviews on anything because I believe opinions vary and are not always helpful. I’m writing this now because if I had Steven as my lawyer from the start I would have saved a lot of time and money and that is not an opinion- it is fact.

Steven worked with me on my divorce and custody case which certainly was not the easiest. Neither he nor I expected for my case to be as contentious or drawn out as it was, but he great about easing my anxiety and ensuring that I didn't back down on anything important. Steven showed great professionalism in and out of the courtroom and looked out for the best interests of my son and I. In the end, everything worked out pretty much exactly as he had indicated that it would from the start.

I hired Albin Moser after being in two motor vehicle accidents in a period of 5 weeks. I have chronic pain, have gone through surgery and was having an unbelievably hard time just getting out of bed during the weeks and months following this horrible window of time. Albin is dynamic, responsive, knowledgeable and able to communicate the complexity and parameters of the law in an accessible way. He is also a top notch negotiator and has checked in with me frequently over the past few years to keep me up-to-date on both my cases. He has been a godsend. If you need help with a personal injury case: Albin Moser is your guy!

I have had the privilege of having Susan Pires as my attorney for over 14 years. Her friendship, courtesy, knowledge and honesty have been very important to me during the last three years that she has represented me in a child support case while my Disability case has been pending. Susan is always there whenever the need arises for her representation. As an individual with many anxiety issues, her empathetic demeanor always gives me emotional support for the court appearances that are necessary. I am extremely grateful for her service and would highly recommend Susan without any reservations.

Kristin Pettey is an amazing attorney. While only 10% of her business falls within the family law side, I myself was going through a complex divorce to include an unreasonable ex-spouse as they were on their third attorney when our case closed. Family law is very difficult in general to deal with and I found when dealing with attorney's in the family law realm that a lot of them are not trustworthy, or at least I myself felt they did not have my interests at heart. I had family law issues in multiple states, which made it complex; Kristin took on my Rhode Island case. Working with Kristin compared to other family law attorney's that I have in the past was a night and day difference. Kristin was a zealous advocate, an extremely competent attorney, and overall a pleasure to work with. She told it to me straight and I trusted the advice that she gave me. Overall I felt happy with the outcome of the case because of her actions. Keep in mind that if you are going through family law litigation, you must accept and understand that your outcome is limited by what the state accepts as fair. Kristin will do what she can to defend your rights and what is fair. If you heed her advice, even if you do not like it, you can expect your case with her to go as smoothly as possible. My ex attempted many different strategies to get the most she possibly could out of our case, buty Kristin was able to turn these to our advantage and she set me up for success. Over the year+ that I worked with her as we were approaching a final court date I felt very confident that it would go positively for me because of her advice and hard work. In the end, my ex came around and we were able to obtain a consent decree. Mine is not normal; it has a lot of nuances in it because of the gamesmanship that my ex attempted to play. I feel very comfortable moving forward in our consent decree and that my current and future interests are looked after. I also look forward to coming to Kristin in the future as things change, and the decree needs to be modified.
In sum, I highly recommend Kristin, you can’t go wrong. I would expect her quality of advocacy to be just as high in her other areas of practice, no matter if it is family law, medical malpractice, or litigation.

On behalf of our mother, who was the client and with her participation in preparing this review, Mandell, Boisclair, & Mandell, Ltd., already came highly recommended as the premier law firm in Rhode Island where our mother's injury occurred. This was a relationship and educational process spanning nearly 5 years. Ms. Boisclair and Mr. Mandell were kind, patient, methodical, available to allay our mother's concerns and on top of this situation from the get-go. Our mother, while permanently affected by the issue, is more at ease after being heard and cared for not only with the legal experts but also their legal staff behind the scenes. We believe she was given the best advice and analyses of all outcomes. While we don't hope for others to be in similar circumstances, this is the law firm that will fight for their client's justice and in the end bring about the best possible outcome.

Attorney Rory Munns understands the unique traumatizing, diverse, and complex situations that may face the clients he represents, as well as their families and loved ones. He takes on a very compassionate and humanistic approach towards directly connecting with their needs; and he brilliantly combines his approach with an experienced, knowledgeable, confident, well-respected, and innovative legal skillset. This fierce combination allows Attorney Munns to DELIVER FAST, POWERFUL, AND POSITIVE RESULTS!
Attorney Rory Munns is nothing at all like what we used to think of when we thought about Rhode Island criminal defense lawyers (or lawyers in general really). We viewed them as just another part of the system; lawyers to us, were the grease that kept the big wheel of Rhode Island Courts to just keep on turning. But Attorney Munns has proven to be different… Much different. He was able to get serious probation violations and criminal arrest charges taken care of properly. He fought for justice in a justice system that isn’t always just. He communicated valuable information to prosecutors, judicial officers, family members and myself with personality, professionalism, confidence, and extremely well-versed legal acumen. He was able to avoid/prevent ACI incarceration holds without bail, when prosecution requested such holds.
Whether or not you believe and higher powers such as Santa Claus, God, Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Greek mythology, science, Angels, demons, Justice, Donald Trump, ancient aliens, saints, or anything else (LOL)… Believe in Attorney Rory Munns, because he is of a higher power in the state of Rhode Island and he can make seemingly divine miracles occur.
A nightmare that could have lasted in jail time for many months or longer was converted into a reunited family based solely upon the legal counsel and representation of Attorney Munns. His work with my family and I, his work behind-the-scenes, and his work in the courtroom led to incredible results that were the best of the best.

Attorney Rory Munns understands the unique traumatizing, diverse, and complex situations that may face the clients he represents, as well as their families and loved ones. He takes on a very compassionate and humanistic approach towards directly connecting with their needs; and he brilliantly combines his approach with an experienced, knowledgeable, confident, well-respected, and innovative legal skillset. This fierce combination allows Attorney Munns to DELIVER FAST, POWERFUL, AND POSITIVE RESULTS!
Attorney Rory Munns is nothing at all like what we used to think of when we thought about Rhode Island criminal defense lawyers (or lawyers in general really). We viewed them as just another part of the system; lawyers to us, were the grease that kept the big wheel of Rhode Island Courts to just keep on turning. But Attorney Munns has proven to be different… Much different. He was able to get serious probation violations and criminal arrest charges taken care of properly. He fought for justice in a justice system that isn’t always just. He communicated valuable information to prosecutors, judicial officers, family members and myself with personality, professionalism, confidence, and extremely well-versed legal acumen. He was able to avoid/prevent ACI incarceration holds without bail, when prosecution requested such holds.
Whether or not you believe and higher powers such as Santa Claus, God, Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Greek mythology, science, Angels, demons, Justice, Donald Trump, ancient aliens, saints, or anything else (LOL)… Believe in Attorney Rory Munns, because he is of a higher power in the state of Rhode Island and he can make seemingly divine miracles occur.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?

- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
