also known as Lou Riley
I am a real estate attorney, investor, and broker with a deep understanding of real estate transactions, land use, zoning, and foreclosure law. My practice focuses on conveyancing, land development approvals, and foreclosure proceedings, ensuring that clients—from investors to institutions—navigate these complex areas with efficiency and confidence. Having handled thousands of real estate transactions, I bring a practical, results-driven approach to every matter, whether structuring deals, resolving title issues, or advocating in court when necessary.
I’ve also been involved in a precedent-setting Rhode Island Supreme Court case, shaping key aspects of foreclosure law. While I believe in resolving issues efficiently, I don’t hesitate to litigate when the situation demands it. My background as a broker and investor gives me a unique perspective—one that extends beyond just the legal mechanics to the business realities of real estate.
Outside of the office, you’ll find me on the golf course, skiing in the mountains, or flying recreationally. I appreciate the precision and strategy in each—whether it's landing a plane, lining up a shot, or navigating a legal challenge.
If you need an attorney who understands real estate inside and out, delivers straightforward guidance, and gets results, I’m here to help.
