About

My life’s work has been to use my skill, experience and compassion to help people through the countless challenges they face after being injured. I have ratings of 10.0 from AVVO and AV Preeminent from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest ratings possible from the largest independent attorney review sites. I mention this not to brag, but only so you can trust I have the ability to help you when you are making the important decision of who to hire if you are in need of legal representation. I'm now in my 25th year of helping injured people. My philosophy is to treat you the way I’d want to be treated if I were in your situation. I’ll work tirelessly to make sure you get justice. My main goal is to earn your respect through the quality of the service I provide.The past 25 years and my entire professional life have been devoted to the practice of injury law. I gained invaluable experience by working at every position in a busy personal injury firm during law school. I fetched coffee, ran errands, gave rides to clients, answered phones and performed paralegal support work.  I was hired as an associate attorney by this same injury firm after graduating from law school.After working for several years as an associate attorney handling personal injury and workers’ compensation claims, I founded my own firm in 2002. By learning every aspect of personal injury practice from the ground up, I bring a unique perspective to my representation of clients that provides you with exceptional attention to every detail of your case.Every injury is personal to me.  You can trust that I have the skill, experience and dedication to help you. I limit the number of cases I take in so I can handle each case personally.  I put my experience to work for you so that you can be assured that you will receive the maximum compensation possible for your injuries.No fees or expenses are charged unless we recover compensation for you. Flexible appointments are available to meet your needs. I can even come to you if your injury prevents you from being able to get to my office.In addition to my experience, our former long time paralegal was a claims manager at a major national insurance company for many years.  This provides us with an edge that many firms don’t have. Since we know things the insurance companies don’t want you to know about how the claims process works, we can obtain the best compensation possible for each case.I invite you to contact us and ask questions of me and my firm. We think of ourselves as a family.  Our goal is to make each of you feel like you’re part of our family too as we help you through difficult times.

Working with Rich was an absolute pleasure. He is trustworthy, dedicated and attentive. Not only is he a talented and hardworking lawyer, but he was also very supportive when I sometimes just needed to vent about the situation. Even after reaching a very agreeable settlement with the insurance company, he worked for months helping me dispute my chiropractor's questionable billing practices. I am generally apprehensive about interacting with people- but after the initial consultation, talking to Rich was like talking with an old friend. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He's not just a great lawyer, but a great person in general.

He explained everything at my level, making it very easy for me to make an informed decision. Talked with me about my case not at me. If ever I need a lawyer again I will be back and would recommend to everyone. Thank you again Richard!

My wife and I were stopped while attempting to enter a rotary in Warwick. An apparently distracted drives hit us without braking before impact. We sustained injuries and work loss. Attorney Richard Sands at Sands Law was able to quickly and efficiently resolve our claim and to navigate the required interactions with or medical providers. We are so thankful that a friend referred us to Sands Law.

Richard has to be without a doubt the most honest, reliable and hardest working attorney I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He handled and advised me through my workers comp case and provided me with a support system for times when I was down and frustrated and just needed someone to listen. His staff is as professional as it gets and is as friendly and supportive as Richard himself. He is as genuine a person as one can get and after everything was said and done I not only consider him my attorney but a friend as well.

Richard is awesome!!! I was involved in my first accident throughout my life last year. I was hit by another car from the back. I have no idea what to do afterwards so I decided to look for a lawyer. I found Richard on Thumbtack, I decided to work with him because his reply and suggestion to my case were professional,caring and sincere. He left a great first impression on me. It took almost a year to deal with my case. Throughout the process, Richard is always ready to answer questions, quick to reply emails, and initiative to further more benefit for me over the other party's insurance company. The result of my case is very satisfied. I appreciate everything that Richard did on behalf of me. I highly recommend Richard without any hesitation. I am also willing to share with everyone my experiences, feel free to contact me if needed.

Since our first meeting after my car accident, Richard has been competent, thorough, tenacious, caring, kind-hearted, considerate, perceptive and courteous at all times. He was consistently available and catered to my needs on a regular basis. He always reached out to reassure me the status of my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Sands to anyone seeking justice.

I was not the type of person to call a lawyer when involved in an auto accident. To be honest, it never crossed my mind to do so until the insurance company would not cover my medical bills after I was rear-ended. They claimed that the treatments were excessive since it was a soft tissue injury. I called Rich and was happy that I did. Rich worked with the insurance company to develop a settlement that would take care of my medical expenses. He kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was pleased with his professionalism and his willingness to go the extra mile. I highly recommend Rich Sands. He will make you and your case a priority and work hard for the best results.
