Excellent service

Called Attorney Palumbo to assist with a will and trust. They took my information and he called me right back. I made an appointment and met with Dona and she helped go over the paperwork and made sure I understood things. Attorney Palumbo then advised me on how to proceed with trust for myself a...nd my husband. It was quick and I was completely satisfied with the outcome. Attorney Palumbo and his staff were all kind and respectful to us throughout the entire process. I would recommend their firm to anyone with a legal matter that needs solving.

Eviction

Kayla Oconnor represented me on a tenant eviction for a property in Rhode Island. Kayla was thorough in your explanation of my options, it helped me make an informed decision. She was detailed and clear in our e mail correspondence. Richard's office has the support staff to make these services smooth.... I found everyone friendly and professional to work with. I would recommend them for landlord representation to anyone who asks.

A+

Hired for an eviction for an incredibly difficult and manipulative tenant who pulled all the stops. This office stayed through and followed up until the end for an ordeal that seemed never ending. They promptly answer the phone, give very clear expectations, and go well above what many offices would ...do. Special thanks to Kayla and Michelle. Going through an eviction is incredibly stressful for small time landlords but they made this as painless as possible. Thanks again guys!

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.
