Samantha Leigh Olson McCarthy

Samantha is originally from North Dakota, but fell in love with the Rhode Island beaches and the accessibility of the east coast! She currently resides in Warwick, Rhode Island with her husband Rian, their daughter, son, and two dogs. In her spare time, she actively volunteers with a local animal rescue where she helps to find homes for abused and neglected dogs and consults with the rescue regarding legal issues.

Attorney McCarthy is licensed to practice law in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts state courts. Prior to starting McCarthy Law, Samantha worked for an estate planning firm in Cranston, RI and a Fortune 100 financial institution and trust company.

She earned her J.D. from Roger Williams University School of Law where she was recognized by the Feinstein Center for Pro Bono & Experiential Education for her extensive public interest legal work and commitment to public service.

Samantha is a member of the Rhode Island Bar Association Probate and Trust Committee and the Board of Directors at the Hope Alzheimer’s Center in Cranston, Rhode Island. She also serves as Secretary of the Board.
