Lawyer in Rhode Island

While everyone wants to have their day in court, few people actually ever hope they end up in a courtroom. Going to court means some challenge has come your way: a car accident, on-the-job injury, dog bite, or even a real estate concern. When they’ve been hurt or found themselves facing a legal hurdle, many people don’t know what to do.

It isn’t uncommon for people who have been seriously injured to “suck it up” and “move on.” In fact, while the majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court, only about 5% of eligible people pursue legal action. This means that, of the five million people injured in accidents every year, the vast majority have “left money on the table.

The Rhode Lawyer hates to see that happen.

Lawrence J. Signore has a fierce dedication to the people of Rhode Island- he takes your personal injury case personally. In fact, he takes it so personally that he’ll come to you!

Our attorney, Lawrence J. Signore – aka “The Rhode Lawyer” – is literally on the road, personally visiting injury victims in their homes and hospital rooms across Rhode Island. If you have suffered a work-related injury or personal injury accident, the whole team at the Law Offices of Lawrence J. Signore is ready to fight for you.

Buying Real Estate in Rhode Island? Don’t Get Surprised!

Owning a home, vacation house, or commercial real estate is a life goal for many Ocean Staters. However, it’s possible for what looks like a dream scenario to become a nightmare quickly. Many buildings on the market have a history of undisclosed issues, including faulty wiring, the presence of mold and asbestos, or uneven foundations. In other cases, what seems like a fair market price may be dramatically inflated.

While most sellers are honest in their business dealings, an attorney can ensure your home closing or other real estate purchase goes quickly and smoothly. Our legal team can thoroughly vet and research any property you’re planning on buying. This includes title searches, initial inspections, and more. With Lawrence J. Signore on your side, you can ensure your new property will be a source of pride for years to come.

Wrongful Death in Rhode Island? We Can Make Them Pay.

Wrongful death cases are among the most heartbreaking legal actions a person can bring. If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or malice, no amount of words or money can help repair the pain. However, you can hold the responsible parties accountable, and we can help you do it.

The Rhode Lawyer has extensive experience in handling wrongful death cases, including helping the friends and family of the deceased through a trying time. Lawrence Signore can help determine who’s responsible and how to best make them pay. We take wrongful death cases especially seriously and devote all available resources to building the strongest case, including pre-trial investigative work, collecting evidence, and interviewing witnesses.

Why Choose Us?

We’re Proactive, Not Reactive

Many law firms take a passive, reactive approach to solving legal problems. We do not. The Rhode Lawyer doesn’t believe that’s the best way to approach a case. When you hire us, you’re hiring full services. We believe that because your well-being and future are on the line, we must be proactive and aggressive. We carry the fight to the opposition and seize every opportunity to resolve your case in your favor.

We Come to You

Many lawsuits result from serious injuries sustained in a car wreck or other type of accident. In many instances, people find it challenging to seek legal counsel. Often, insurance companies are hoping that people who have been hurt let their injuries get in the way of seeking justice. Lawrence J. Signore knows that legal strategy, and he doesn’t like it. That’s why if you’ve been hurt and need to meet with a personal injury attorney, The Rhode Lawyer comes to you. Contact our office to learn about scheduling a visit with our attorney in your home or hospital.

A History of Rhode Island Excellence

While some attorneys consider the law a vocation, Lawrence J. Signore considers it a calling. With two decades of experience serving the Providence region, he sees himself and his firm as fulfilling an important community role. Whether you’ve been hurt in a car accident or need representation for a workers’ comp case, The Rhode Lawyer doesn’t see you as a client – he sees you as a neighbor in need of help.

A Name You Can Trust

Our two-plus decades of experience serving Rhode Island mean that we’ve established a proven track record. Don’t take our word for it- we can present twenty years of positive client testimony. Lawrence J. Signore and his entire legal staff pride themselves on their hard-earned reputations for courtroom victories and client success. Don’t believe us? Ask your neighbors! If you know someone who’s won a civil suit in the Providence region, there’s a good chance it was with us!

Avoid the Courtroom

In many cases, our attorney can make sure you can collect a check without ever setting foot in a courtroom. That’s because his decades of legal experience have given him the insight and wisdom to negotiate settlements and reach deals instead of having to appear before a judge and jury. Not only is this the least stressful, least expensive option for you, but it also means you can put the case in our hands and get on with your life while we do the heavy lifting.

Enjoy Your Life

Some attorneys require that clients have an active, hands-on role in their cases. This can require hours worth of attorney meetings, travel to legal offices, courtroom appearances, and more. This can be stressful and cause some people to feel like they’re paying an attorney to serve as their own counsel. Not so with Lawrence J. Signore. He understands that he’s often seeing people during the worst time of their lives. That’s why he’ll take your case into his own hands. That allows you to step back and resume your family, friends, hobbies, and work obligations without having to worry about a legal case.

What Should I Do if I Get a DUI in Rhode Island?

Most Rhode Islanders are responsible when it comes to drinking and driving. In fact, with only 3,000 arrests per 1 million people, Rhode Island has one of the lowest DUI arrest rates in America. However, DUI is something that can happen to anyone anywhere. Even one drink “over the line” can result in an arrest, fines, and jail time.

The good news is that the majority of DUI arrests are for first offenses, and that most people never reoffend. That means there are plenty of opportunities for a second chance—especially if you have an experienced attorney on your side. The Rode Lawyer knows DUIs are often a one-time mistake, and will work with you and your loved ones to help move past a challenging time in your life.

What is a Proactive Legal Approach in Rhode Island?

Many lawyers will accept your payment, wait for your court date to roll around, and then show up on the day of the hearing to represent you. At the Law Offices of Lawrence J. Signore, we feel that this is an ineffective approach. Anyone can stand up in a courtroom and talk. Only an attorney can argue a case- and the Rhode Lawyer has been arguing them for over twenty years.

When you’re hiring Lawrence Signore, you’re hiring full legal representation, including pre-trial investigative services, strategy sessions, and more. In fact, with Lawrence J. Signore in your corner, there’s a good chance you’ll never even see the inside of a courtroom. With his proven legal expertise, The Rhode Lawyer is able to secure out-of-court settlements for a large portion of his clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Do You Charge?

Every case is different, and there’s no hard-and-fast, flat-rate fee to hire us. Legal fees not only include an attorney’s time and services but also our staff’s time, court fees, and other associated expenses. During your initial free consultation, we can go over with you exactly how much you can anticipate your case costing, including a breakdown of our charges and how your money will be spent on your case. We want every client to feel like their time and money are being well-spent and that we’re not only the best choice, but we’re also the best priced.

I’ve Been Arrested for a Violent Crime; Can You Represent Me in Court?

Lawrence J. Signore is a skilled and experienced civil litigation attorney with years of courtroom experience. However, he does not generally represent clients in criminal cases, outside of certain DUI cases. Criminal law and civil law require two entirely different legal approaches, with criminal cases often demanding most—if not all—of an attorney’s time. It isn’t rare for criminal defense attorneys to only take on a small number of clients and then dedicate all of their time to those cases. By focusing exclusively on civil law, The Rhode Lawyer is able to dedicate all of his time and attention to winning settlements for his clients.

I Can’t Afford Your Services; Can You Represent Me for Free?

The U.S. Constitution guarantees legal representation for those who cannot afford it. While most people are aware of this right, many do not realize it only extends to criminal cases. This means that if you are arrested and charged with a crime, you may be provided with a free public defender if you cannot afford to hire your own attorney. This right does not apply to civil matters. Civil suits are considered voluntary court proceedings and, therefore, not subject to the right to free counsel. We can discuss costs during your free initial consultation, including payment options.

Can I Get a Refund if I’m Dissatisfied with the Outcome of my Case?

While our attorney and legal team will work tirelessly for every client, we cannot guarantee the outcome of any case. Lawsuits include a variety of unpredictable and uncontrollable factors, including the decisions of the judge, jury, and opposing counsel. There is no way to predict how a case may end. Anyone who has ever followed a televised “trial of the century” knows that even seemingly open-and-shut cases can have unpredictable outcomes. While our attorney and legal team will work to ensure the positive outcome of your case, a portion of your charges will include court costs (such as filing fees) that can’t be returned.

Can I Hire You to Represent Someone in Another State?

Lawrence J. Signore is proud to have represented the Providence region for twenty years. He doesn’t just consider the people of Rhode Island his clients- he considers them his friends and neighbors. His dedication is unparalleled, and he takes deep pride in being able to serve them. Because of this focus, The Rhode Lawyer does not generally take clients who live or have active cases outside the state. Not only does practicing law in different states require individual licensure for each state, but traveling outside Rhode Island would severely limit our ability to serve the people of The Ocean State.
