So many good things to say about Anthony Conte and his law firm. My family and I can’t thank him enough for his expertise and guidance. Anthony doesn’t treat you like a number or a case; he treats you like family.
He approached our case with an open mind and was very efficient in assessing and navigating its complexity. Moreover, he was able to connect the dots in a world where another well-known law firm had failed. He was fearless and unreserved in his pursuit of understanding the facts of our case.
His expertise, resources, and commitment to justice are second to none. He is driven by a true passion to help others, not by greed. He stands out in a field full of his peers.
Just when we thought there was no hope for justice, he became the light we needed. We had almost given up until we were fortunate enough to have Anthony on our side.
At the end of the day, he checks all the boxes. Thank you, Anthony!

The Conte Law Firm exceeded my expectations in legal counseling. I would recommend The Conte Law Firm to anyone looking for professional, trustful legal counseling in the areas of insurance claims, personal injuries, civil litigation, and other areas of law.
Thank you, Anthony and the great people at Conte Law Firm for everything you have done for me and my family.” They are Professional, courteous, friendly, fast, knowledgeable, punctual, very empathic to my situation, and offer top-notch legal advice.
A pipe burst in my house and my insurance company denied my claim. Immediately Conte Law Firm took up my case and started demanding action from the Insurance Company. I was amazed by the professionalism that Conte Law Firm provided. Everything Anthony advised me happened! There wasn't one moment throughout this process where I felt that Anthony didn't prepare me or advise me correctly. He tells you that it is not what you want to hear and I admired and respected that about Anthony. He was very thorough and very experienced. Anthony knows what he’s talking about.
The Conte Law Firm was a step ahead of the competition and the insurance company. When I spoke to Anthony I felt like I was talking with a family member or a good friend. He is that easy to talk to! You could genuinely feel that Anthony wanted the best for me and more importantly wanted to maximize the return on my claim.
The Conte law firm is a law firm that is not driven or motivated by money. Anthony is a genuine person with a good moral compass that puts the customer's needs before his needs. He is willing to work with your situation and come to an agreement that best fits the client's needs.
This is by far my go-to law firm if I need any legal representation in the area of personal injury or insurance claims. I recommend Conte Law firm without a doubt.

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.

Mike is a real genuine human who is really in the business to help others. He is compassionate, dedicated, and hard working. Additionally, he is timely, a great communicator, and honest. I had a really tragic work situation occur and he fought for me with all he had. I had worked with an attorney prior to this who simply was not committed to helping me, and when I chose to confide in Mike, he gave me hope. I would recommend him to any family or friends who are in need of an outstanding attorney -- you will not regret working with him!!!

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.

Michael Judge did an excellent job handling my case. It quickly became very clear to me that I had made the right decision to choose Mr. Judge for my legal representation. With his 30 years of experience handling DUI legal cases, he was able to make the whole experience a smooth & seamless process.
Using his excellent communication skills, he makes you feel very confident & comfortable with the information he provides. Allowing you to make informed decisions as you move forward through your legal case.
The outcome of my case was much better than I expected, thanks to Michael’s ability to navigate through the legal system. If, you are in need of legal counsel or unsure how to move forward with your situation, I would highly recommend contacting attorney Michael Judge. You will be able to feel confident & secure while bringing your case to closure.

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. His powers of communication were excellent- he listened to me carefully, he grasped a complex situation immediately, and he wrote a strong clear letter that was effective in resolving the matter quickly. I recommend him highly, without reserve.

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 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.

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.

Richard Gallone did a great job on my case and was there for me through the whole process. If I needed any question answered he was there or called me back immediately.

I would recommend Richard Gallone to my family and friends, he handled a negligent death lawsuit for my family and surpassed our expectations. He was very knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, trustworthy and worked hard to grind out the highest possible settlement on our behalf. The case he handled for us was complex and required much investigation and research, he was relentless working on our case til the very end. Richard has incredible knowledge with personal injury and accident cases and will work to the very end to get his clients the very best award possible.....my family is extremely happy with the tremendous work Richard Gallone did for us.

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.

Professional, Caring, and Attentive it was worth saying twice. The title should say it all! About five years ago I was nearly killed in a workplace accident (2016). The accident left me in a scary place to say the least. When I was introduced to Peter my case had been started by another attorney. Long story short, Peter sat patiently while I rambled on about what happened to me. He formulated a general plan to start and presented it to me in a way that I could understand. Peter is a down to earth person that was always attentive and made me feel like I was his only client. I could go on and on about Peter Cerilli, but the bottom line is, read the title again and then make the call and let Peter do what he does best. Peter, thank you for helping me get through a few of my dark times (you were more than my lawyer and I can never repay you). Peter, you did the right thing for me even if it wasn't best for you. You always did what was best for me and my family. THANK YOU!

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.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
