I have an uncommon advantage over most personal injury attorneys practicing in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Prior to law school, I spent several years as a casualty adjuster for a major insurance provider. In that position, it was my job to value cases and find flaws in personal injury cases. This knowledge gives me a unique edge against my competition.
After spending those years working for the defense side of insurance claims I studied at one of the country's premier law schools and after graduation started my legal career at one of New Englands most prestigious plaintiff trial firms. All I handle are personal injury cases and I feel uniquely suited to do so.

Very Satisfied
I am a 70 yr. old female who has never been in an accident and had no idea of the procedure . I called Atty. Joseph Lamy on the phone and he walked me through the process and made sure I knew exactly what to do. He stayed on the phone with me until the police arrived and continued to ask if I was O...

Let my case lapse and misinformed me.
He let my case lapse in court and never notified me of it. He also wrote me letters and e-mail correspondence saying the case was really still going on when in fact it had already been dismissed because of his non action.
I take my job and professional responsibility very seriously. Truth be told, this review haunts me. I lose sleep thinking that I let someone down, and obviously Michael was not happy with my representation. For that, I am truly upset. That said, these statements are simply false. Neither my actions nor inactions harmed this case. I was one of several attorneys who looked at this case and felt nothing could be done. In fact, I believe Michael has left similar negative reviews for the other attorneys who took on his representation. I ask anyone looking at my profile to please look at all of the other reviews and commendations on my profile and not form an opinion based on this case.

I was happy with my representation with Joe. I had never been in an accident before and was even hesitant to present a claim but my husband suggested that I contact a lawyer because of unpaid medical bills. A friend referred me to Joe. He explained everything to me at the beginning and I was grate...

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney
I was in a car accident and went to a different attorney. I was very frustrated and upset because my attorney would never answer my calls or tell me what was going on with my case. After seven months like this, I told my old attorney I was leaving. I called Attorney Lamy and asked if he would ...
"Joe Lamy is the consumate client's lawyer. He is always on the phone or in the conference room with his clients, works long hours getting them what they need. Keeps his clients well informed. The fact that he used to be an Insurance adjuster is amazing since he knows exactly what the other side is thinking before they do! Joe is also a very fair and honest man to work with as a peer, his word is his bond."
