“I became an attorney to level the playing field.”. Attorney Mariam Alexanian Lavoie has been a proud member of the Rhode Island Bar Association for almost thirty years.    She was born in Bloomington, Indiana but lived in her native state and Livermore, California for six brief years before moving to Mexico City. Attorney Lavoie spent her formative years in Mexico, graduating from an all-Spanish speaking high school, the Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, in 1980. She attended Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman, Montana, at age sixteen while her father spent his sabbatical year in MSU’s Physics Department.. In 1981, Attorney Lavoie moved to Rhode Island to attend the University of Rhode Island (URI) and graduated with highest distinction in 1985.  She always knew she wanted to be an attorney.. “As far back as I can remember, I have had a strong desire to see that all persons receive equal access to justice and equal treatment under the law.   I relate to regular men and women and passionately believe we all deserve to have the same top notch legal representation as those who can afford the best.”. She graduated from URI knowing law school was next but wanted some real-life experience before entering legal academia.. As soon as she received her bachelor’s degree from URI, she turned to the yellow pages looking for potential employment at a law firm. The “Se Habla Español” piece of a large Lovett, Schefrin, Gallogy & Harnett ad caught her eye.  She made the call, met with the one and only King of workers’ compensation himself, Raul L. Lovett, and got started. This marked the beginning of her experience with workers’ compensation law and the exciting world of medical science in the context of legal actions.. Work in a vibrant legal environment gave Attorney Lavoie the confirmation she needed:  she would enter law school and dedicate her working years to representing the injured and disabled.    While attending law school full time, she remained active in the legal community, representing injured workers before the then Department of Workers’ Compensation and United States residency applicants under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. She graduated cum laude from Suffolk University School of Law in 1990.. Since her admission to the Rhode Island Bar Association in 1990, Attorney Lavoie has continued to advocate for the rights and benefits of her injured or disabled clients.  In 2004, she joined Marasco & Nesselbush where she widened her experience in the areas of personal injury law and Social Security disability.  She has represented hundreds of adults and children before Administrative Law Judges in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.  She enjoys giving frequent presentations related to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits before attorneys, medical providers and medical support groups throughout Rhode Island.    She is an active member of the Rhode Island Bar Association’s Social Security Sub-Committee, the National Organization of Social Security Claimant’s Representatives and the Rhode Island Association for Justice.. Attorney Lavoie is admitted to practice law in Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island.. She lives in West Warwick with her husband Roger, their two adult children, Troy and Elly, and their Bengal cat Mowgli. She enjoys the arts, travel, the great outdoors, nights at The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre, her Cranston Public Library book club and her church family at the Armenian Evangelical Church in Cranston, Rhode Island.. “My anchors are faith, family, friends and a good fight advocating for my clients. Everyone deserves a fully prepared attorney who can be trusted to battle as long as there is something worth fighting for.”

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.”
