Brenda F. Rioles

Prior to my ex filing for divorce he mentioned it so I thought I should seek legal council not wanting it but anticipating it might happen. A dear friend referred me to Brenda and we had two consultations where she provided me with valuable information on how to proceed if that was what my ex desire...d. Sure enough, and although I anticipated the possibility, I was blindsided by a 6:20am text from a constable on my children’s first day of school. I immediately retained Brenda. Our case was very complex with children involved and she navigated the ship with precise legal knowledge, care, compassion, and understanding. She always responded, sometimes within minutes, to my questions, issues, and concerns. She guided me not just for my own wellbeing but for what was in the best interest of my children. Brenda worked alongside my ex’s attorney to obtain the most equitable agreement and that is what divorce should be about. Brenda is a skilled attorney who knows how to manage, prioritize, and work together with other attorneys to provide the best outcome out of one of life’s most difficult situations. It is a 50/50 chance a marriage will survive and if it does not Brenda will be there, not to resuscitate because when it is over it is over. She will be there to guide you through the devastation and trauma so you can move forward and live again. She is kind, caring, compassionate, and has legal expertise that is above all others. With this being said, she is a team player and part of her team is Kiara her assistant. Every email sent she responds to sometimes within minutes. Her communication is above all others which is key and she dissipates the anxiety of having to enter an office to sign emotionally pressing paperwork. She intercepts and prepares all of the necessary legal documentation involved which is often intricate and complex. If you ever, unfortunately, find yourself on a ship in rough seas with little hope and/or knowledge of how to navigate Brenda and Kiara will guide your ship home to safety. In addition to this and in my opinion, you have to approach an attorney with an investment mindset. Divorce is not inexpensive for anyone but with the best attorney it is an investment. Brenda is the best of the best and will provide you with a profitable return, most notably what is in the best interest of your children.

I hired Brenda to handle my recent divorce and had an excellent experience working with Brenda and her firm. The divorce had some financial complexities and also my spouse was representing herself which presented additional challenges. Brenda’s deft handling and caring approach toward resolving iss...ues with my spouse enabled the divorce to proceed uncontested, and Brenda then ensured that the final judgement was secured efficiently and with very little drama. Olivia and other support staff were also very helpful and easy to work with. I felt I had chosen wisely and would highly recommend Brenda and her firm to anyone in a similar situation.

I hired Brenda for my divorce after she was highly recommended to me by a lifelong friend. This review has been a long time coming, the opposing party just wanted to drag things out, Brenda and her staff worked extremely hard to have this case finished and come up with an extremely favorable outcome.... Amazing is what I can say about Brenda, she is an excellent communicator, incredibly brilliant, savvy, experienced, tough and prepared. Her calm, professional and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most during a most difficult divorce. Brenda has the mental toughness to get the job done, she impressed me at every turn.I could literally see that the court had confidence in how she practiced her profession. In closing, Brends is “A force to be reckoned with”, I was fortunate to have her on my team. My ex needed a second attorney just to keep up! It was a battle, but I am very happy with the results. Thank you.

I hired Brenda for a very contested divorce after hiring two previous attorneys with no success. Brenda handled the case with ease. I have never met a more professional, understanding, knowledgeable and experienced attorney. She got me everything I wanted and more. She truly is the best attorney in ...R.I.
