Wills preparation

We hired Steven for help with our will preparation. He took the time to understand our needs and clearly answered more than a handful of questions as to why something should or shouldn’t be done. The whole process was so easy once the draft was ready. We reviewed and approved it and went in for signi...ng. His staff is extremely helpful as well. Would absolutely recommend him to all !!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

If you are looking for an honest, straight forward attorney, an attorney who is fully invested in your best interest, and will go the extra mile for their clients; look no further! I had blindly put my trust in the hands of the most sleaziest Rhode Island Realtor Team, Nathan Clark, I had a really... bad feeling immediately after signing the contract, and falling for their sales gimmick. I'm thankful that I at least had the sense to get my own closing attorney, and was incredibly blessed to have Samantha on my team. This remarkable team truly saved my life, in spite of my bad choice of Real Estate Agencies. I definitely made one of the best counteractive choice's in my life by choosing the Law office of Steven J. Hart! Samantha went above and beyond, standing up against the low ethical standards of the Nathan Clark Team, and their problematic abhorrent practices. If you or someone else has made a poor choice, or you need the reassurance that you've chosen the best representation, I HIGHLY recommend you get in touch with Samantha at Steven J. Hart today and I can guarantee you will NOT regret it. This recommendation is fully based on past experiences and is one that I would stand by all day long!!! Blessings, Carla

Excellent Attorney and his assistant

I called Attorney Hart's office for a legal issue, and the call was answered by Samatha. Shamatha is such a nice lady and she promised me that attorney would look over my issue. As it was not a very complicated matter, she told me attorney Hart would provide legal advice for free. Samatha called me t...he second day and gave me attorney Hart's legal opinions and she was so nice even explained in much details for my matter. I definitely recommend Attorney Hart and his office to anyone who wants his legal advice or representation.

Best Divorce Attorney

I can’t thank this Law Office enough for making a tough situation bearable. They were efficient, timely, and gave me the peace of mind that I was properly supported. My divorce went as smooth as one can go and I would recommend this firm to anyone! Thank you.

Sample of Legal Cases

Joanne Miller v. Henry Saunders, et al

The Court affirmed the order of the Superior Court in favor of the Defendants

Stephen NOTARIANNI on behalf of Joseph NOTARIANNI, SR. v. Joseph NOTARIANNI, JR.

None of the exceptions to the mootness doctrine are applicable to this matter. Because Joseph, Sr. has died, the plaintiff's protection from abuse action is no longer in controversy. Thus, the case is moot.

Estate of Brian W. Hart a/d/a Brian William Hart v. Cheryl A. LeBlanc

This court reversed the judgment of the Superior Court in favor of the Petitioner

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
