What Eight Decades Has Taught Us About Caring for Our Clients

Maintaining a distinguished and strong reputation can be difficult for any attorney. After all, lawyers as a whole aren’t exactly seen as saints. This is why we follow a deep-rooted sense of morality and compassion that has been handed down over the generations. Our values and hard work have allowed us to create and maintain an astounding legacy of success. In addition to securing a well-founded reputation for success, we strive to ensure that our clients are 100% satisfied with our representation.

We have spent decades honing our skills in order to assure our clients’ satisfaction. As a result, we have been able to strengthen our bond with our clients. A few of the strengths and values we bring to all our interactions include:

Taking the time to ensure you completely understand the complexities of your case and understand what to expect throughout the process.
Providing respect and compassion for your situation, while remaining frank about the prospects ahead.
Working with you to plan the best course of action for you and your family.
Pursuing each case as if it were our family. We are noted for our willingness to push for a trial to get everything our clients deserve, in contrast with many other attorneys who look for the quick settlement.
Fighting for the goals you choose. We’re not afraid to take your case to court and fight respectfully for your financial security.

More Experience, More Skill: Why We’re One of the Most Seasoned Litigation Firms in Rhode Island

Life is anything but predictable. You could be perfectly happy and healthy one minute, and the next completely overwhelmed. In these moments, being able to depend on a helping hand is one of the few assurances you can hope for.

It’s alarmingly easy to succumb to the anxieties of a frustrating legal battle. In addition to planning your case, you must also be able to understand all aspects of the law while trying to keep your life in order. “Overwhelming” doesn’t even come close to describing it. However, you can take comfort in knowing that you’re not the first (nor the last) victim that the legal system has entangled—and you’re definitely not the first to need help.

After 80 years of advocating and fighting for people like you, we know what you and your family are going through. We also know how to help. Whether you’re battling an insurance dispute or attempting to hold your ground in a family feud, Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys at Law have the experience, fortitude, and skill to help you come out on top.

Your Legal Success Is Our Legacy

Ever since our founding in 1933, the Cranston attorneys at Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum have diligently fought for the rights of our clients. Over the years, we have helped thousands of clients throughout Rhode Island secure their financial futures and get the answers and support they needed during a difficult period in their lives. Now it’s time for us to help you. Allow our extensive experience and knowledge to help guide you through all aspects of your personal injury or family litigation disputes, including:

Personal Injury

When you or a loved one have been seriously injured as a result of someone else’s negligence or incompetence, you have the right to recoup your losses. The accident wasn’t your fault, and therefore you shouldn’t be forced to pay the consequences, no matter the cause. We will fight to secure justice for a wide range of personal injury accidents, including:

Auto accidents
Slips, trips, and falls, and other premises liability claims
Work injuries and workers’ compensation claims
Product liability claims, such as airbag malfunctions, medical equipment failure, or unintended drug effects
Medical malpractice
Nursing home abuse
Dog bites and animal attacks against children and adults
Wrongful death

Family Law

When an unexpected turn of events results in the need for a separation or division of family assets, property, or ties, we’ll help ensure that every aspect of your case has been thoroughly addressed and fairly decided. This includes:

Divorce support and litigation
Asset disputes
Custody battles
Property settlement agreements

Business Disputes

These days, it sometimes seems as if owning or managing a small business is an open invitation to conflict. Customers, vendors, competing businesses, and even partners and stakeholders can try to tug your business policies in a new direction—or even to wrest the company from your hands. Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys at Law, brings nearly a century of experience to bear on your business dispute in order to find the best available resolution.

Bankruptcy

Most Americans are just one or two paychecks away from financial difficulty—and an extended illness or loss of a job can mean financial disaster. Fortunately, our federal bankruptcy code permits impossible debt burdens to be managed, or even forgiven, provided that very precise rules are followed to the letter. We have helped hundreds of families obtain debt relief at a critical time. Why not let us help you?

Probate

Rhode Island probate law deals with what happens after someone dies or becomes incompetent to manage his or her own affairs. The law in this area is very complex, and anyone who expects to leave behind a legacy to family or friends is well advised to get experienced legal assistance. Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys at Law, has an established reputation for skill in handling all aspects of probate, including:

Estate planning, including strategic tax planning
Development and drafting of wills, trusts, and power of attorney and durable power of attorney documents
Selecting an executor
Estate administration
Estate disputes, including contested wills and breaches of fiduciary duty
Guardianship disputes

Practice Areas

Personal Injury

At Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys At Law, Inc., our experienced attorneys know how to fight insurance companies that deny claims for injury victims and their families. We thoroughly prepare each case, which often leads to favorable settlements. However, when a trial is in our clients' best interests, we litigate aggressively. In fact, attorney Christopher Russo is often called on to assist other firms that are taking challenging personal injury cases to trial. Please contact us for a free consultation with a Cranston accident attorney today.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

As one of the oldest and most prestigious law firms in Rhode Island, we at Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum are ready to do whatever is necessary to maximize our clients' compensation when they've been involved in auto accidents. Our approach as lawyers, one that has obtained over a million dollars annually, involves meticulous discovery and a willingness to go to trial. If an insurance company is unwilling to settle for a dollar amount that is commensurate with damages, we won't back down. With our extensive experience and the premium we put on discovery, we know exactly what cases are worth and pursue action that allows us to arrive at ideal outcomes.

Family Law/Divorce

At Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys At Law, Inc., we take each family law case seriously, regardless of its complexity. We understand that your future depends on a fair divorce settlement and receiving sufficient time with your children. Our Cranston lawyers work hard to achieve each client's goals. Please contact us today for an initial consultation with a Rhode Island family law and divorce attorney.

Workers’ Compensation

For most people injured in the workplace, a workers' comp claim is uncharted territory and the process can be immensely confusing. Combined with the fact that many insurance organizations have no incentive to pay for work-related accidents, claimants can feel lost or marginalized. Claimants may want to see their own doctors, and employers may tell them they need to follow a different protocol. When these types of events happen it is of immense benefit to partner with an experienced Rhode Island workers' compensation attorney who can guide claimants optimally through the process to ensure a best-possible outcome. Get the help you need with your workers' compensation claim today. Consult with our Cranston lawyers at Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum by calling 888-591-9976. You can also consult with our lawyers online.

Business Disputes

At Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, we combine nearly a century of legal experience to help clients with receivership, corporation and partnership issues. Because we have extensive legal experience in development and insolvency, we know exactly where issues can and do arise, and how to account for them at the outset.

Probate Disputes

The death of a family member is obviously difficult, but when issues of estate disputes arise, the situation can be exponentially more stressful. Attorneys at Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum have been working on estate planning and probate issues for over 75 years. We're ready to put that comprehensive knowledge and experience to work for you in your issues of probate litigation.
