I needed a lawyer for a divorce.

Debt Case
Chris and his staff were upfront, professional and trustworthy from the very beginning.

C...
Michael: I enjoyed working with you. And I think for the most part the results were nothing short of a grand slam home run. Financial disaster can affect people of all walks of life. Fortunately, we have laws that can help honest people like yourself. Keep me mind for future legal needs. I appreciated your trust and confidence in myself and office staff.

Some couples want to get the process done yesterday. If a couple has an agreement, then the Rhode Island family Court generally gets a 10/10 rating in my opinion getting cases assigned quickly for resolution.

Bankruptcy Guidance
I entered into Chapter 13 bankruptcy with another lawyer, but as I got into negotiating with my Trustee, I found out much more about how the Trustee would be reviewing my income and finances during the bankruptcy that my Lawyer did not communicate to me. I contacted Chris and got an accurate picture...
