I represent individuals and corporations charged with crimes in federal and state courts. I also counsel businesses in connection with internal investigations and assist them in responding to subpoenas. Prior to entering private practice I prosecuted narcotics, white-collar and public corruption cases as a Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General and cross-designated Special Assistant United States Attorney.

General practice lawyer | Jun 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I met attorney Ratcliffe a many years ago when he was opposing counsel on a divorce case. I was very impressed with his professionalism and how he was always very well prepared. He is an outstanding attorney. I have asked him in the past for his advice on particular criminal matters, and he was always very knowledgeable and helpful."
