Rhode Island Results-Oriented Civil Litigation & Criminal Law Attorney
Helping businesses and individuals successfully resolve disputes.
No one wants a lawsuit. No one “wins” a lawsuit. Generally, lawsuits cut down the losses resulting from bad events — a car crash, a dispute of an estate, a dishonored contract.
I am a trial lawyer. My role is to get my client the least painful result at the lowest cost.
When legal disputes disrupt your business or personal life, I can help you in all types of general civil litigation in state and federal courts, including:

Helping you when you are in really serious trouble.
No one expects to be charged with a crime. Yet, the number of federal and state laws establishing new crimes has mushroomed over the past 25 years. Simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time can make anyone a potential defendant. Familiar examples are: driving while intoxicated; driving just a bit too fast with a resulting crash and serious injury to someone; accusations of sexual assault; child pornography, where the defendant honestly believes there are no children in the pictures;a domestic argument that gets out of hand; a little puffing of a loan application which suddenly becomes bank fraud. The examples are really endless.
The best criminal defense is the one asserted before there is a formal charge. Delay in dealing with a potential charge is often fatal.
If you have been charged with a crime in Rhode Island, if you know you are under investigation, or if you have received a “target letter” from a prosecutor’s office, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side. For more than 45 years, I have been fighting to defend the rights of my clients. I have built my reputation on getting results. I am intimately familiar with all facets of both the federal and the Rhode Island criminal justice systems, and I have the knowledge and skill to make sure you understand your legal options and to guide you through the legal process.
I have successfully appealed criminal convictions. I have represented clients in state and federal courts on charges ranging from minor offenses to serious felonies, including:

When you have charges on your record that you want eliminated, I can help you get those charges sealed or expunged, or represent you in appellate court.
