As a native Rhode Islander, I was proud to return home home after attending Smith College (A.B. 1993) and DePaul University College of Law (J.D. 1997) and to set to work for my community.
I have dedicated nearly two decades to seeking justice for injured Rhode Islanders through the aggressive pursuit of fair compensation. Since my earliest days, I have recovered more than $20 million dollars for accident victims.
I handle every aspect of every case, from the first meeting through resolution or trial.
I am a proud member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and the Rhode Island Association for Justice.
My persistent goal is to provide my clients with the personal attention they deserve and with the most effective advocacy possible, working within a system that requires creativity and tenacity.
When I'm not working, I can be found at home, surrounded by kids and dogs and, hopefully, cooking something delicious for my family . . .
