Best of the Best

I was a client for a divorce. Richard provided aggressive, thorough legal representation from beginning to end. He was very accessible and always there when I had questions. Although I reconciled with my husband in the 11th hour, Richard never made me feel as if I had done the wrong thing or made a b...ad decision. He was very supportive throughout the whole process. He is an excellent attorney and an utmost professional. I would highly recommend his services.

Divorce and Child Custody Attorney

Mr. Merola personally handled my divorce and Child Custody Cases. Mr. Merola and the members of his staff professional representation and mannerisms guided me thru the darkest time of my life. During this time emotions are high and having a professional like Mr. Merola is essential to insure a pos...itive future. Mr. Merola lived up to his reputation and my expectations and as a result, my daughter and I reside together and live a very enjoyable life. None of this would have been possible without Mr. Merola and his wonderful team. Sincerely David

Berard overall

Richard proved himself a great, well rounded attorney. He has successfully represented me and members of my family on several occasions on cases in Family And District Courts. He is very personable and explains the process and expectations clearly. I look forward to using his services again.

Best family court attorney in R.I !!!

I had Richard as my attorney for my divorce and custody battle. In the 1 1/2 years it took to complete, I not only won placement of my child, but also got everything thing else I could possibly have. He is very knowledgable and very well respected within his field. He is not the typical attorney only... concerned on his pay day. He truly cares for what is in your best interest. I would highly recommend Mr.Richard Merola esq. For any and all legal needs! Especially when it comes family court! No words can describe the respect and gratitude I have for him as a person. The best attorney and only attorney I will ever have!!!
