Personal Injury Cases – Attorney Amanda L. Corrao
Pawtucket fits more than 75,000 people into roughly nine square miles. I-95 and US 1 run along the city’s western side, while Route 114 (Broad Street) and Route 122 (Lonsdale Avenue) carry traffic through its neighborhoods. Attorney Corrao represents injury victims in Pawtucket, Providence, and communities across all five Rhode Island counties.
Just a few of the case types Attorney Corrao handles include:
Collisions on I-95, US 1 and Pawtucket’s busy cross-streets cause injuries that require sustained advocacy. Rhode Island’s pure comparative negligence rule reduces your recovery by your share of the fault instead of barring it, and insurers know how to use this against you. They act quickly. Attorney Corrao acts faster.
Oakland Beach, Conimicut Point and Warwick Neck provide the city with more Narragansett Bay shoreline than anywhere else in Rhode Island. Boating accidents along this stretch often involve conflicting state and maritime laws, and getting those conflicts wrong can ruin a strong claim.
Older multi-family homes, former mill buildings, and commercial lots come with cracked stairs, weak lighting, and snow and ice that nobody cleared. Property owners have a legal duty to keep visitors safe. Since 2019, Rhode Island law has also said that a hazard being open and obvious doesn’t bar your claim on its own.
When negligence costs someone their life, their family left behind needs compassion and support. Attorney Corrao handles claims under Rhode Island’s wrongful death statute with seriousness and care that they require.

Military Law Cases – Attorney Nelson Robles
Naval Station Newport and Quonset Point anchor Rhode Island’s military community. Service members, Guard members, Reservists and veterans live throughout Providence County, including Pawtucket. Attorney Robles represents them on the East Coast and in federal matters.
Court-martial proceedings, article 15 non-judicial punishment, CID investigations and NCIS inquiries all require an attorney who is familiar with the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Attorney Robles represents the full range of UCMJ offenses, from drug crimes to desertion and unbecoming conduct.
Administrative actions get less attention than courts-martial, but they can end a career just as fast. Attorney Robles handles separation proceedings, barriers to reenlistment, bars on post orders, security clearance denials and revocations, military record corrections, Article 15 rebuttals, VA claims denials, and USERRA violations.
Criminal Defense Cases – Attorney Nelson Robles
State criminal cases from Pawtucket usually start in the Sixth Division of the Rhode Island District Court at the Garrahy Judicial Complex in Providence. This court hears misdemeanors and deals with the initial appearance for most felonies. Then, felonies are transferred to the Providence County Superior Court, while federal charges are sent to federal court in Providence.
Attorney Robles prepares each case as though it’s going to trial. The Pawtucket border with Seekonk and Attleboro is such that a case can begin on either side of the state line. He represents civilians in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts who are facing:
How Long Do You Have to Act in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island’s statutes of limitation place strict deadlines on the right to pursue legal action. Missing them can permanently foreclose options that would otherwise be 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.
Criminal matters run on a different clock entirely. Statements made to the police before an attorney is involved are almost impossible to take back later, and evidence gathered by prosecutors in those early days tends to shape the entire case. Getting a defense attorney involved early is one of the most significant decisions a person facing charges can make.
