Our practice covers all levels and jurisdictions: trial and appellate courts throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire; federal courts, including the U.S. Bankruptcy, and District Courts.  We represent clients in all types of dispute resolution, including: AAA, and court-supervised arbitration and mediation, contested cases before administrative agencies, civil hearings, trials, and appeals.

A lawsuit can be a time-consuming, expensive, and a challenging experience for parties involved. Knowing this, many people are tempted to ignore a problem that might result in a lawsuit, hoping the issue will go away. Some people even fail to respond promptly when a lawsuit has been filed against them. Such delays can drastically reduce their chances of a desirable result.

By contacting our firm at the first sign of a possible lawsuit, you greatly increase your chances of negotiating an amicable and acceptable compromise. If settlement is not possible, our attorneys can make sure you understand your options and help you prepare your case or defense well in advance, thus putting you in the strongest possible position when the suit is filed.

Our commercial litigation categories include, but are not limited to alternative dispute resolution, bankruptcy, breach of contract, business torts, commercial contracts, condemnation, construction disputes and litigation, debt collection, insurance coverage disputes, licensing and administrative matters, real estate and construction disputes, zoning and land use.  We take a thorough, comprehensive, business-minded approach to handling our clients' business disputes. We begin by taking the time necessary to understand each client's situation and then research, document, prepare evidence, and fully brief every legal issue involved to place our clients in the strongest possible position heading to court.
