Cranston, RI Lawyer for Injury, DUI, Criminal, and Family Cases

Firefighters respond to a two-car crash at a Rhode Island intersection

I'm from Cranston, and many of my clients come from Cranston. When something goes wrong (a crash, an arrest, a divorce), you want a lawyer who knows the community, knows the courts your case will go through, and gives you a straight answer. My office is at 1370 Chalkstone Avenue in Providence, a short drive from anywhere in Cranston.
