About Kerry Rafanelli Attorney at Law

Whatever you're going through, we'll get you through it.

The law firm of Kerry I. Rafanelli specializes in all aspects of family law.

As effective advocates on behalf of Rhode Island (RI) and Massachusetts (MA) children and families, we encourage settlement and compromise and strive to bring about resolutions that help minimize the financial and emotional impact of divorce. Our extensive experience as litigators, mediators and Guardian Ad Litem give us a unique perspective on the best way "to get to the middle" of what can often be a challenging situation. However, when required, we vigorously uphold the rights of our clients and aggressively pursue their best interests.

In addition to our practice in family law, we also serve clients with Rhode Island (RI) and Massachusetts (MA) personal injury claims, estate planning needs, and District Court criminal misdemeanor matters.

Hired Attorney Kerry I. Rafanelli

I knew I had found the right attorney to represent me in my divorce when Kerry told me in our first meeting that his primary concern was for the welfare of my two children. He was focused on what was best for them throughout the process. He did a remarkable job in getting me a fair settlement and I have no doubt that he would have been outstanding if the case had gone to trial. He validated my concerns and answered a million questions with patience, humor and honesty. He's a RI treasure.

Hired Attorney Kerry I. Rafanelli

Choosing the right attorney to represent your legal matter is extremely important whatever the situation. Mr. Rafanelli walked me through the entire legal process, gave me all the facts and coached me every step of the way. Emotions can run high during legal situations and having an attorney that guides you both legally and emotionally can be critical to the process. Mr. Rafanelli was my advocate, voice of reason, fought hard, didn't back down, and got me what was fair and just.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
