The law is his business- he knows his business well!

John Coughlin has handled many of my legal matters since 1981-82. I originally obtained him as my legal counsel when I had problems with one of the law firm partners at a Providence, RI law firm who was handling a car accident injury case. John was fresh from law school (he worked his way through law... school) when we met. He got me a good settlement for injuries sustained in a rear end collision despite the fact that I had a previous, serious, neck injury. Throughout the next 30 years John has always been available to me with just a phone call. I have referred dozens of people to him throughout the years and have never had anyone come back and bad mouth the man and his abilities. About 15 months ago he attempted to help me with a banking issue with a major New england bank that mistakenly removed funds from my mother's bank account at the behest of John Hancock. Unfortunately there was no resolution to that case as my sister was supposed to supply John with information and she dropped the ball. He paved the way for me to take it the rest of the way and get my mother's funds replaced, make the bank waive fees, and also to see what actions the Atty. General can take against John Hancock as they told the bank my mother was "deceased" though they had no death certificate. If you need a personal injury attorney that will be there when you need him John Coughlin is that man.

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.
