Very good lawyer with free consultation

Highly experienced Attorney

Attorney Bernard P. Healy is a highly skilled and fair attorney. He helped my family with a case involving my 4 year old son involving an incident at his day care. Needless to say we were angry upset and didn't know what to do. When we sat down with Mr. Healy he assured us justice would be served and... it was. He is dedicated and kept us updated at every turn. Through the years I've gone to Mr. Healy for other issues and he is always there for me right away. He works on Saturdays too. I highly recommend his services. He will do all he can for you from start to finish. Best and most honest lawyer in Rhode Island hands down.

Attorney of great integrity

I have had several occasions to consult with, and use the legal services provided by Attorney Healy. He is knowledgeable about his own specialty, and is able to convey information in a straightforward and comprehensible manner. Throughout our interactions, he displayed a high level of integrity and t...rustfulness. I found him to be conscientious and accessible. I would recommend Attorney Healy very highly.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
