About Donald
Biography
I have been working in Rhode Island as a civil trial attorney for the past thirty years. I spent my first nine years working as a defense attorney for insurance companies, and have worked solely for personal injury victims since then. You will find that my bilingual staff and I firmly believe that hard work and close, ongoing contact with clients are essential to achieving the best results for them. As a solo practitioner, my office represents civil claimants and plaintiffs exclusively. We have settled, arbitrated and tried hundreds of civil matters, with excellent results. I will fight hard to win your case, and I don't get paid unless you , to set up your free consultation.

Thanks for everything
I've been going to Don for years, and he has been extremely helpful every time. He just handled a probate matter for my wife and I, even though I know he doesn't usually do that. Thanks again.

James V. Solis, Esq.
I found Attorney Woodbine both affable and at the same time very knowledgeable. Our subject matter involved the interaction between Medicare Recovery and Personal Injury Loss.
