About

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page, I am a Rhode Island attorney and I focus in criminal defense for a variety of charges, including, but not limited to: DUI’s, weapons charges, sex offenses, theft, drugs, domestic violence, disorderly conduct, and white collar offenses.Unlike other Rhode Island lawyers, I have a unique background and experience. Prior to becoming a full-time private criminal defense attorney, I worked as a civil rights attorney at the U.S. Department of Education, an Assistant Public Defender for the State of Rhode Island, and an Equal Opportunity Specialist at HUD.Before practicing law I had the honor and pleasure of representing our country for over eleven years in the United States Coast Guard. After separating from the Coast Guard, I attended/graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Law with my Juris Doctorate.  Currently, I am an active member of the Rhode Island Bar Association and the Rhode Island Criminal Bench Bar.  As my resume reflects, I am a strong advocate of public interests, particularly equal rights and due process, and I will agressively advocate/fight for my clients.

Mr. Barrett helped me through a very difficult time in my life, with many uncertainties. He was responsible, answered all my questions very calmly and professionally, even when I sent 10 emails a day. As I live outside the state of Rhode Island, he made the process a lot easier and took care of everything without me having to worry about it. Thank you very much Mr. Barrett, for your work, and for the outcome of my case. I am extremely satisfied. I recommend you to everyone in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Thank you, Lorena

Kensley is very professional, down to earth and understanding. He answered every single question with great detail and patience. He responded to my emails really fast (even while on vacation). Very easy to get in touch with - be it via phone, text or emails. His willingness to explain everything clearly and thoroughly is outstanding. Last but not the least, fees is very very reasonable and nominal. I would highly recommend Kensley.

I must say that Mr. Barrett did an outstanding job helping me resolve my case, He even got my case dismissed. I had talked to different people for consultations and no one was willing to fight the case I had against the RI court system in an appeal. Mr. Barrett was willing to do what's right and fight for my case and defend me against what was happening when everyone else told me to accept the charges I received! Mr. Barrett stayed in touch the whole 8 months it took until we got it all resolved! Mr. Barrett was very professional, and was always there to explain a situation or anything that I had questions about. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have a real sticky situation dealt with and or also wants an honest opinion about fighting any case. Thank you again Mr. Barrett I appreciate everything.

Mr. Barrett was professional, responsive, transparent, and clear-spoken, and he succeeded in getting my traffic violation charge dismissed just before the trial started. I would recommend his services as a defense attorney.

Ken did a good job questioning the police officer to find issues with his testimony and then used his knowledge of RI law to help get my case dismissed. He was well prepared.

I needed representation for a speeding ticket and Kensley Barrett was the first and only attorney I needed to speak to! He was very friendly and made himself available. He explained to me my options in court and what he would be able to do to assist me. The ticket was dismissed and all is well. If you are in need of a lawyer i would highly recommend this man. I was very happy with the results. Thank you attorney Barrett!

I hired Ken for a domestic violence charge that I believed was unfairly presented against me. It would have been considered a third strike which is a minimum sentence of one year. Ken was helpful, honest, and articulate. I am kind of a worry wart and would call kind of frequently. Ken never made me feel like I was a bother and reassured me. I would receive a call back the same day I left a message. His fees were more than reasonable especially for his level of representation. The charge was dropped down like he told me it would be and I only had six months of probation. I would recommend Ken without a doubt! He is brilliant and well respected by the Court.
