Newport County resident

Kevin and Craig represented me in a very difficult case where potential of jail time was being considered. They negotiated with the local and state prosecution pointing out flaws in the facts that were presented They protected both my personal and professional interest in making a plea arrangement. I... would recommend Kevin and his team to anyone dealing with any of these driving issues in the state of Rhode Island.

Couldn’t be happier with Kevin and CJ! I was in a terrible situation and they immediately made me feel better. They told me exactly what to expect and it all played out exactly how they said it would. I always felt comfortable to call them with any questions even after the case was resolved. Hope I d...on’t need their help again but if I do I won’t hesitate to call.

Exceptional Lawyer!

Working with Kevin has been an absolute pleasure. I can't thank them enough for their exceptional service. Their deep legal knowledge, responsiveness, and excellent communication made me feel confident throughout my case. Kevin truly cared about our situation and worked to secure a positive outcome. ...I highly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation. Thank you, Kevin, for your outstanding work! Kevin has continued to communicate efficiently afterwards as well, as we had some additional (unrelated) questions about our business.

no nonsense

Kevin and his office have been incredible since the beginning. They are a very no-nonsense firm. He did exactly what he said and had everything situated. Would refer him to anyone.

Amazing Team!

From the first call I knew I was in good hands. Kevin, Domenica and Craig were professional, compassionate and diligent in handling my case. I am so grateful that I had them to help me get through a situation I never thought I would be in. I highly recommend Kevin and his team.
