I was referred to K&K after being in a car accident. Chris and his team set up a time to talk to me even before I was discharged from the hospital, which I really appreciated. Everyone was very thorough and explained every single detail and process, as this was my first time dealing with an attorney of any kind. Chris was willing to hear all of my concerns without any judgment and gave a fair and honest evaluations promptly. Chris and his team were available whenever I needed the. Thank you, Chris, Steve, Pam and the other attorney that I can't think of his name! for helping me get the result I wanted. Because you all, my financial burden decreased a bit, and I can't thank you enough! Please reach out K&K if you are looking for a personal injury attorney. Definitely recommend!

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 to anyone involved in a motor vehicle accident due to someone else's negligence. Should I ever need his services again I would make sure he was my attorney.

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.

Choosing the right attorney for a custody case is one of the most critical decisions a person can make, and after working with Jennifer Reynolds, Rose Hernandez, Veronica Assalone, Madison, and the entire Assalone and Associates team, I can confidently say there is no better law firm in Rhode Islandâor anywhere in New England.
From the very beginning, Jennifer has given us more than just her timeâshe has given us her heart, her fight, and her unwavering dedication. She listens intently, cares deeply, and invests herself fully in every detail of the case. Jennifer is a true fighterâshe doesnât back down, and her passion for securing the best outcome for her clients is unmatched. What sets her apart is how responsive she is; when you are navigating a challenging custody battle, knowing your attorney is there for you, always just a call or message away, is a comfort that cannot be overstated.
The entire team at this firm embodies excellence. They are compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive and strategic in every way. The advice, guidance, and care weâve received have been beyond anything we could have imagined. They are not just skilled professionalsâthey are people who genuinely care about their clients and the outcomes of their cases. The strategies they develop are thoughtful and effective, giving you peace of mind that you are in the most capable hands.
Going through a custody battle is an emotional and difficult journey, but this law firm has made it infinitely easier to navigate. I find great comfort in knowing that I can lean on them, trust them, and rely on them to do everything that needs to be done to present the best case possible. They have fought for us, supported us, and stood by us in ways that have made this process manageable and, more importantly, hopeful.
After working with multiple attorneys in the past, I can honestly say I wish I had found them sooner. There is no scenario where I would ever consider working with another law firm again. If you are even thinking about hiring them, let me assure youâthis will be the best investment you will ever make. You can rest easy knowing that you are in the best hands possible.
It is simply the most incredible experience to witness professionals who are not just excellent at what they do but are also deeply passionate about helping their clients through one of the most challenging times of their lives.

These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
