A native of western Massachusetts, Moran came to Providence College on a soccer scholarship in 2000 and has remained in Rhode Island ever since. After earning a B.S. degree in finance in 2004, he embarked on a career in business development within the real-estate law field.. Moran had long wanted to be a lawyer, however, so after eight years in the business world, he enrolled at Roger Williams University School of Law. He worked for two years as an intern at in the general counsel’s office at Nortek, Inc., won a CALI Excellence Award for Personal Transactions, served on the executive board of the Phi Alpha Delta legal fraternity, and graduated with distinction.. By that time, Moran knew that he preferred to practice law on behalf of individuals instead of corporations, and joined the law firm of Weiss & Associates, where he handled a variety of legal matters. In joining, Marasco and Nesselbush in early 2016, Moran saw an opportunity to narrow his practice to plaintiff’s litigation involving personal injury, products liability, and medical malpractice.. To Moran, it’s work that provides personal fulfillment.. “When people are injured in a car accident or a slip-and-fall or as the result of some kind of medical negligence, they often can’t fight for themselves because they don’t have that expertise, so they look to us to do that for them,” he says. “I think we play a very important role in our society to help those who sometimes are in a position where they can’t help themselves.”

A graduate of Fordham University with a degree in journalism, Zimmerman demonstrated his passion for helping the less fortunate right out of college when he worked as a staff member for an organization that financed and built affordable housing. He continued helping the less fortunate when he worked for a non-profit health care company that helped families living below the poverty line gain access to subsidized housing and health insurance. He also helped address the nutrition needs of underserved rural and urban populations by expanding access to affordable, locally-grown produce. Zimmerman rounded out his broad experience addressing the challenges of under privileged communities by conducting legal and policy research in support of expanding opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) pilot programs throughout the United States. These experiences opened Zimmerman’s eyes to the great need that struggling families have for quality, affordable legal services.. Inspired to provide that legal support, Zimmerman enrolled at Northeastern University School of Law, where he consistently sought opportunities to support victims of discrimination and economic exploitation. He conducted legal research in support of the development of a supplement to Northeastern Law School Professor Lewis’ international human rights textbook, “Human Rights and the Global Marketplace: Economic, Social, and Cultural Dimensions.”. After receiving his law degree, Zimmerman worked as an attorney for HealthSourceRI, the health benefits exchange administering the Affordable Care Act in Rhode Island. He later worked for as a Social Security Disability attorney before joining Marasco & Nesselbush.. Zimmerman is admitted to the Bar in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He is a member of the Boston Bar Association, the Rhode Island Bar Association and the Downtown Providence Neighborhood Association. He is a volunteer for United Way of Rhode Island and serves as a pro bono attorney for RI Legal Services.. Zimmerman was drawn to Marasco & Nesselbush by the firm’s reputation in the community for its excellent service to clients and for its commitment to the community. “All of the M&N attorneys I have met always tell me what a great place it is to work”, said Zimmerman. “Now that I have been privileged to join the firm, I can see firsthand why everyone is so happy to be here:  a great culture, an amazing and hardworking staff, outstanding leadership, knowledgeable and experienced attorneys, and lots of opportunity to learn and grow.. Zimmerman said the Marasco & Nesselbush Charitable Trust was another factor that drew his interest in working with the firm. “I have never worked at a legal organization that had a charitable trust. What this shows me is how seriously the firm leadership views our connection and responsibility to the community, and how important they believe it is to encourage a culture of giving and volunteerism.  I’m very proud to join an organization that recognizes the importance of putting people before profits whenever possible.”

A combined interest in the law and a desire to do good for people led Ryan Kelley to become an attorney. In joining Marasco & Nesselbush’s Personal Injury and Medical Negligence practice group in early 2017, Ryan began working with colleagues at a firm he describes as having earned a great reputation for putting the client first and working as a team to deliver the best possible result for the client.. As an attorney, Ryan enjoys applying the applicable law to the facts of client cases in a forthright but persuasive manner. “My passion is helping those who were injured as a result of the carelessness or negligence of others get compensation for those injuries and the resulting economic losses.  In short, I try to make injured folks as whole as they can be after a traumatic incident,” says Ryan.. Ryan helped put himself through college and law school working as a bartender and server, experience that taught him to anticipate others’ needs and developed empathy for those in all walks of life.. “As the son of an old-fashioned salesman, I was always taught about the importance of doing what is best for the customer, being honest and living up to your word. I’ve embraced this philosophy as the only way to conduct business and an approach that will benefit everyone in the long run,” says Ryan.. Before joining Marasco & Nesselbush, Ryan worked for a leading personal injury law firm in South Boston.. A magna cum laude graduate of Providence College, Ryan advanced his interest in the law at Suffolk University Law School, earning his law degree with cum laude honors. He is a member of the bar in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, 2014 and is also admitted to the practice before the US District Courts of RI and MA. Ryan is a member of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys.
