This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Travis Decosta helped me find the information I needed regarding tenants that refuted late fees I held from their security deposit. He directed me to the exact section that I needed. Travis took the time to contact me via phone. He was very patient with all my questions and answered in full detail. ... I will be consulting with Travis on other legal matters.

Tenant/Landlord Issue

Travis has been such a great attorney. I’m not from Rhode Island originally and got myself into a tough situation with a landlord who charged me two months rent for a deposit, and then refused to return any of it 3 years later when I moved and left his home spotless (with proof). My landlord is highl...y connected and I have been nervous to pursue him, but Travis showed me that I have the law on my side. He was willing to work with my financial situation, eased my fears of losing, and gave me the courage to try. I think as a single mom of two, new to RI and it’s laws, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

Travis DeCosta

Travis represents my business interests in tenant eviction matters, as well as other facets of my personal and business life. Travis has a good understanding of the law in many areas, making him exceptionally versatile. However, what truly separates Travis from others in his field is his keen people ...skills. He uses these interpersonal skills to his advantage, resulting in more positive outcomes.

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.
