Highly recommending attorney Larsen if you are in trouble with South County police. I had several traffic and district court charges that attorney Larsen helped dismissed. The outcome was better than what I have hoped for. I hope I will never need her help again, but if I do I know a top notch attorney! In addition to knowing her stuff attorney Larsen also does not nickel and dime for every single thing. Her quote was based on outcome she expected based on the facts of the case and she did not charge me any more for getting the case settled on better termed than initially expected. She worked hard and I am grateful to her for being on my side. Thank you!

Her advice relating to my situation was very beneficial. I had absolutely no legal experience and was likely to do/ say something that could have hurt the outcome of my case. In fact, my case never made it through the grand jury. Her knowledge of the law and the process was exceptional. I'm thankful she spoke with me on terms that I could understand. She truly has the experience to win difficult cases.

I had a long standing issue with unemployment here in RI and my back was really against the wall and nary a hand from anyone due to the deluge of UE cases the state is handling. I finally resorted to contacting an attorney. I was at my wit's end and dispirited as was my wife. Worried indeed. I mention my circumstances to him but even then I'm doubting anything will do it but a full on lawsuit. Well he listened, giving me all the room I needed to explain, grief included. He never cut me off! Then with the calm of a skilled professional he mentioned a few points to consider and as much some solutions that may be available. He told me he'd look into it and thanked for his time awaiting a call later on. Folks, he fully resolved this. I don't know what, how or whichever but there I was an hour later having this problem ironed out with another person on the phone correcting the log jam that to that point was immovable. Now, flashback to just prior to my call to Sinapi and the other attorneys I had called first. Apparently I am supposed to wait until tomorrow for call back. Who's got time for that. Attorney Richard Sinapi slam dunked it and moreover really LISTENED to my circumstances before acting. I knew he understood me. Oh the other attorneys and their tomorrow call backs? Now I can laugh at that notion. I found my lawyer. And it's simple, the guy just gives a damn and he's easily accessible. Thanks so much Rich!

Richard represented me in a workers comp case. He came recommended by my brother who is also a lawyer. He answered all questions and concerns professionally and clearly. His secretary Laurie was also a pleasure to work with. Richard settled my case quicker than we’d planned and significantly sooner than any timeframe others had quoted. Actually received a lot more compensation than was expected. Overall exceptional professionalism and pleasant experience, highly recommended.

While a college student in Rhode Island, our daughter was in a serious car accident. She was stopped and hit hard by another motorist. Her car was totaled and she obtained injuries. We were advised by many to consult an attorney.
It was difficult for us to help her navigate this process as we live in another state and never hired an attorney before . We scoured the internet looking for the right firm. After many phone calls we found Nick Solitro at Robert E. Craven & Associates.
I’ll forever be grateful to the help he provided to our daughter. He’s patient, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. He was always available to us when we had questions or concerns. We felt supported and really cared for.
She just received a generous settlement which was more than we anticipated. It will help her immensely as she moves on from this event.
Look no further than Nick if you are looking for an attorney. Top notch all around!

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 Island—or anywhere in New England.
From the very beginning, Jennifer has given us more than just her time—she 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 fighter—she doesn’t 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 we’ve received have been beyond anything we could have imagined. They are not just skilled professionals—they 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 you—this 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. As I said, there is no better law firm in Rhode Island or New England, period.

Jared and the entire office support staff were all closely coodinated which made the closing process proceed quickly and without delays of any kind. Jared is an expert in the field of real estate law, and we were completely satisfied with all phases of the closing. A same day closing on both the house we sold and the house we bought was important to our financing, and he made it happen, saving us from a costly bridge loan.
We highly recommend this law office.

Karen Davidson has been my personal, family and business attorney for many years. She has helped me through a divorce, sat with me during a difficult deposition, created a trust for my grandson, wrote the wills and powers-of-attorney for both my wife and me; and Karen referred me to a colleague when my needs were better served by a legal specialist. Most of all, Karen has been a trusted friend, who has advised my wife and me in both good times and difficult moments. You can be assured that Karen is a great communicator. She will return your calls and emails at all hours, as she just did with me on a Sunday night. When you need an attorney, she is there for her clients, fighting to make sure your needs are met.
I highly recommend Karen for legal advice and any situations that require a need for outstanding legal representation. Karen Davidson is an excellent attorney.

Karen Davidson has been my families sole attorney for many many years. Her expertise in personal injury and wills/probate is superb. I had been injured at work and it really took Karen's know how to move this case forward to complication with results I could live with. The workers comp people were dragging their feet about many issues and Karen jump into action to resolve those issues. Karen is always very responsive, clear and concise, compassionate and just a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable in her fields and my entire family loves Karen and will continue to work with her....Thank you....

I don't do testimonials. I did one several years ago, and the next one may be many years more. But I am compelled to commend Moonan, Stratton & Waldman, LLP. Amy walked me through the process of updating many legal documents when I recently moved from another state, and they did so with patience, grace, and expertise. Perhaps most important to me, they continue to support my efforts to finish my tasks to complete this transition.
I don't need to think about who to call if or when I need legal assistance. I have them on speed dial.

My wife and I recently employed the Moonan/Stratton law firm to advise us on getting our affairs in order as an older couple and to prepare an estate plan. Kristen Moonan worked with us to ensure we provided all the necessary financial and other information needed. She then provided us with a plan involving wills and beneficiaries and healthcare provisions. She offered advice on making sure our retirement accounts and other financial accounts were updated.
Communication with Kristen's office was timely and productive. The completed estate plan is a substantial document, and we now feel much more at ease regarding our late retirement years. We highly recommend her firm.

Attorney Robinson was not able to handle a case for me in this instance. However, he spent hours looking into the problem prior to my appointment and spent 1.5 hours with me explaining various legal outlooks to me so that I could understand properly. He has worked with me in the past to my great satisfaction. Mike knew that he wouldn't be able to handle this complicated case and referred me to another attorney who works with this rare area of law. However, Mike Robinson is able to handle a wide range of law. You will find him to be capable, intelligent, speedy and caring.

Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
