I understand that legal issues are often very personal and evoke strong emotions. As an experienced lawyer, I treat each client with compassion, yet aggressively advocate for my client's rights. While my goal of reaching an amicable resolution for my clients is generally realized, I make it a habit to always be prepared for trial. I have had the opportunity to work along side the best trial attorneys in New England. While in law school, I interned with the Attorney General's Office as a Rule 9 Prosecutor in the Juvenile Crimes Unit and in the Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit. Additionally, I was a law clerk for a top probate & estate-planning attorney in Rhode Island. Since passing the bar, I have worked as Associate in a boutique law firm, focusing on Criminal Defense and Personal Injury, and as Chief Of Counsel for Attorney Paige Munro-Delotto's Firm, focusing in the areas of Family Law, Education Law, and Labor Law. I have now opened my own firm and practice before all Rhode Island State Courts (including Providence, Kent, Washington, and Newport counties) and in Rhode Island Federal District Court.
