Sinapi Law went above and beyond in protecting my rights. Couldn't be happier with outcome! KNEW THE LAW AND PROVED IT WITH A FAVORABLE DECISION VS. TOWN OF PORTSMOURH!!! Highly recommended!!!!!
I had a long standing issue with unemployment here in RI and my back was really against the wall and nary a hand from anyone due to the deluge of UE cases the state is handling. I finally resorted to contacting an attorney. I was at my wit's end and dispirited as was my wife. Worried indeed. I mention my circumstances to him but even then I'm doubting anything will do it but a full on lawsuit. Well he listened, giving me all the room I needed to explain, grief included. He never cut me off! Then with the calm of a skilled professional he mentioned a few points to consider and as much some solutions that may be available. He told me he'd look into it and thanked for his time awaiting a call later on. Folks, he fully resolved this. I don't know what, how or whichever but there I was an hour later having this problem ironed out with another person on the phone correcting the log jam that to that point was immovable. Now, flashback to just prior to my call to Sinapi and the other attorneys I had called first. Apparently I am supposed to wait until tomorrow for call back. Who's got time for that. Attorney Richard Sinapi slam dunked it and moreover really LISTENED to my circumstances before acting. I knew he understood me. Oh the other attorneys and their tomorrow call backs? Now I can laugh at that notion. I found my lawyer. And it's simple, the guy just gives a damn and he's easily accessible. Thanks so much Rich!
Richard represented me in a workers comp case. He came recommended by my brother who is also a lawyer. He answered all questions and concerns professionally and clearly. His secretary Laurie was also a pleasure to work with. Richard settled my case quicker than we’d planned and significantly sooner than any timeframe others had quoted. Actually received a lot more compensation than was expected. Overall exceptional professionalism and pleasant experience, highly recommended.
I called Mr. Sinapi on a Friday to discuss an urgent matter. It was after hours but he called me back within an hour. He scheduled me an appointment for the following Monday with Joshua Xavier who did an outstanding job with my case.
Although if it was my first time in this situation Joshua Xavier made me feel very comfortable to discuss the situation and help solve the problem. Big thumbs up thank you
Was willing to stand up for my rights with the only prospect of financial gain for him being years down the line. Unfortunately harder than it should be to find an attorney willing to do the same.
We talked through the circumstances of my termination and he was willing to represent me moving forward but we decided it was not a strong enough case
