Mr. Rafanelli was recommended by a friend who is also an attorney. Kerry made me feel comfortable…read moreand that he had my best interest at heart. He didn't talk down to me and he put me at ease with the decision to retain him as my attorney. He made it as easy for me as he could through the whole process. Having had a few unpleasant experiences with the legal system, Kerry put me at ease and I knew I could trust him. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney that will work professionally and get the case resolved as quickly and equitable as possible.

My experience with Jedidiah Rice was extremely disappointing. During a very difficult time in my…read morelife, I trusted this firm to guide me through a legal matter I did not fully understand. Over the course of my case, I was billed approximately $12,500, yet I did not see meaningful progress or action taken. I often felt that I was being charged for nearly every conversation, while my case itself did not seem to move forward. As someone relying on professional guidance, this left me feeling frustrated, confused, and unsupported. I understand that legal services can be expensive, but based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to carefully research their options before choosing representation.

I am thankful for the divorce mediation services my ex-husband and I got from Kerry as we went…read morethrough our divorce. My divorce was not combative as my husband and I agreed that the marriage was not working. We were able to decide how to divide our assets before talking with anyone. There were many details that we did not know about or think through and with Kerry's experience we did not get sidetracked and dealt with the issues amicably. He was able to come up with a financial agreement that accomplished what the intent of our original agreement, but saved us a significant amount of money and saved me from ending up with a large tax bill. A few personal issues did come up, unrelated to the divorce, which did slow us down, but having a mediator kept the process moving forward with each party feeling they were respected. Even in my situation, getting divorced is not easy emotionally and a couple of times I was caught off-guard by my reactions. Looking back, I am thankful that I had a non-judgmental mediator who created an environment of respect and listening. Kerry had been through this process many times before and was able to guide us around issues that may have become contentious.

I reached out to Attorney Fogarty as I was referred to his practice by the RI Bar Association. He…read moreexhibited no patience with me and was clearly frustrated with me from the very beginning. I desperately needed legal advice to a serious matter but was told to only answer yes or no and he would ask the questions. I wish he would have allowed me the opportunity to explain my situation before belittling me and questioning my character. I wish him the best and after reading his reviews which demonstrated positive attributes one can only assume he was having a bad day.

I cannot express how pleased I am with having retained attorney Ribezzo. Attorney Ribezzo was very…read moreeasy to talk to. He listened to everything I had to say and asked pertinent questions to obtain necessary case information. My case was fairly convoluted however he was able to obtain the result I desired. I honestly feel that the reason I am now safe is because of his hard work and diligence. He was very well educated with regard to evidence, statutes, etc. He worked harder than he probably should have during my hearing, which took much longer than expected. He was able to obtain necessary testimony and admit evidence incredibly effectively. I was under the impression that the defendant's attorney was nearly impossible to beat, and was fairly pessimistic regarding the result of my hearing because of this. Attorney Ribezzo was absolutely amazing and, in my opinion, completely changed my preconceptions of the defendant's attorney. I would strongly encourage anyone who has any legal issue to seek representation from Attorney Ribezzo. I cannot believe that anyone would retain this man and walk away dissatisfied. I thank Attorney Ribezzo for everything he has done for me and thus, for my family as well. I will not hesitate to contact him for any legal needs I may have in the future.
