Trusted Legal Representation Across Rhode Island’s Most Serious Cases
Every personal injury claim is a unique challenge, but our approach remains the same. We choose cases carefully and prepare each one for trial from the start. We won’t let insurance companies control the timeline. Over the past thirty years, we have secured multi-million dollar settlements for individuals and families affected by car accidents, serious injuries, and wrongful death. We have built our reputation not by handling large volumes of cases but by putting in more effort than our opponents. We don’t define our firm’s success by how many clients we take on, but by the significant impact of the checks we deliver.
Personal Injury Cases — Attorney Amanda L. Corrao
Serious accidents on Rhode Island’s roadways, waterways, and properties leave victims facing mounting medical bills, lost income, and painful recoveries while insurance adjusters push for quick, inadequate settlements. Attorney Corrao represents injury victims throughout Providence, Cranston, Warwick, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, North Providence, East Providence, and communities across all five Rhode Island counties.
Just a few of the case types Attorney Corrao handles include:
Collisions on Interstate 95, Route 146, Route 195, and the heavily traveled corridors through Providence and the surrounding metropolitan area cause devastating injuries that require sustained legal advocacy. Insurance companies move fast — Attorney Corrao moves faster.
Narragansett Bay, the waters surrounding Aquidneck Island, and Rhode Island’s extensive coastline make boating-related injuries a recurring and legally complex matter. These cases often involve overlapping state and maritime law, and experienced representation is essential to a fair outcome.
Property owners throughout Rhode Island, from commercial businesses in downtown Providence to residential landlords in Cranston and Warwick, have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail, Attorney Corrao holds them accountable.
When negligence costs someone their life, the surviving family members left behind deserve both compassionate representation and determined legal advocacy. Attorney Corrao handles wrongful death claims throughout Rhode Island with the seriousness and care they demand.

Military Law Cases — Attorney Nelson Robles
Naval Station Newport on Aquidneck Island is one of the most significant military installations in the northeastern United States, and its presence means thousands of active duty service members and their families call Newport County and the surrounding communities home. Attorney Robles represents service members and veterans facing military legal matters throughout the East Coast and in applicable federal matters, bringing firsthand JAG experience to every case.
Court-martial proceedings, Article 15 non-judicial punishment, CID investigations, and NCIS inquiries all require an attorney who understands the Uniform Code of Military Justice from the inside. Attorney Robles defends service members against the full range of UCMJ charges, from sexual assault allegations and drug offenses to desertion and conduct unbecoming.
Military careers can be derailed by administrative actions that receive far less attention than criminal proceedings but carry consequences just as serious. Attorney Robles handles separation proceedings, bars to reenlistment, security clearance denials and revocations, military record corrections, Article 15 rebuttals, VA claim denials, USERRA violations, and the full range of military administrative matters.
Criminal Defense Cases — Attorney Nelson Robles
Rhode Island residents facing criminal charges in the Providence County Superior Court, the Kent County Superior Court, the Newport County Superior Court, or the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island need a defense attorney who prepares every case as though it is going to trial. Attorney Robles represents civilians throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts facing:
How Long Do You Have to Act in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island’s statutes of limitations place strict deadlines on the right to pursue legal action, and missing them can permanently foreclose options that would otherwise have been available.
For personal injury claims in Rhode Island, most victims have three years from the date of injury to file a civil lawsuit. Wrongful death claims follow a similar three-year window. Evidence fades, witnesses’ memories change, and surveillance footage is overwritten — acting promptly after an injury protects your ability to build the strongest possible case.
For criminal matters, involving defense counsel from the earliest possible stage — before statements are made to law enforcement, before evidence is gathered and preserved by the prosecution — is one of the most important decisions a person can make.
