None

I had to hire Brenda to handle my divorce. Brenda handled it professionally and caring at the same time. Any time I had a question, Brenda was there to give me an answer! My sister had used Brenda for her divorce and recommended Brenda to me. I would recommend Brenda to anyone who needs legal consult...ation. Brenda truly cares about her clients!

Happy client

I hired Brenda for my divorce, which was kind of complicated, after having two previous attorneys on the case. She stayed on top of everything and finally got me divorced. I was also very happy with my settlement. Whenever I called or emailed her, she always responded in a very timely manner. I w...as very pleased with her services and would highly recommend her.

Difficult Case, Resolved Quickly

Brenda adeptly advised me on how to avoid the pitfalls of a long litigation battle and instead we promptly settled my child custody case. An aggressive attorney on the other side made this extremely difficult; he is known for dragging the parties through years of litigation, and that would have been ...to the detriment of everyone, including my child. Have a difficult family law case? I highly recommend you at least consult with and consider hiring Brenda.

Best Lawyer I could ever recommend

Brenda and her inside consultant Angel were there every step of the way for me. They communicated with me very effectively as they were representing me from out of state. They were able to tell me when I needed to be in Rhode Island and Brenda was able to get the case heard and completed in that 1 d...ay. She was compassionate and sincere. I felt like an old friend was there for me even though we had only communicated by phone and email prior to the day in court. If I ever needed an attorney for anything back in Rhode Island there would be no doubt I would call her first.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
