My areas of expertise are in personal injury/accident law in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. My focus areas are car accidents, truck accidents, bike accidents, slip and fall accidents and general negligence.
I have lived in the Rhode Island and Massachusetts area my entire life. I graduated from Brown University located in Providence, R.I. While at Brown, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Public Policy and American Institutions. Upon graduation from Brown University I then received my Juris Doctorate degree from the Roger Williams University School of Law. Immediately after graduation and passing the Bar Examination in Rhode Island, I then opened my own legal practice and have been at it ever since. I am admitted to the Massachusetts and Florida Bars as well as the Federal District Court for Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
