A Team Approach to Better Serve Your Legal Needs in Kent County
At Assalone & Associates, we take a team approach. For our firm, “team approach” is not just a marketing phrase. To us, it means efficiency, as our team helps get the job done faster. We have daily meetings to discuss all our current cases together to get all of our attorneys’ input and experience. When you hire our firm, you will have an entire team dedicated to your case for the same cost, or less, of hiring one attorney.
Call us at (401) 589-5599 to discuss your case.
Compassionate With Our Clients.
Aggressive in Litigation.
We take a compassionate, efficient approach whenever we can. However, sometimes the other party does not work to resolve the case and it must go to court. When this happens, we have years of real trial experience to back us up in the courtroom. Divorce attorneys with trial experience are rarer than most people think. Many cases in Rhode Island are referred to Assalone & Associates when they must be litigated because of our legacy of results and our extensive experience. We are compassionate and amicable whenever we can be, and we are aggressive when we have to be.
Our team answers common questions
and provides insight into what to expect.

Why Choose Assalone & Associates?
Unwavering Dedication to Achieving a Resolution-
A Sense of Belonging
We treat all of our clients with compassion, dignity, and respect. With our team approach, we really are all in this together and our clients experience the extraordinary difference and benefits of our unique approach to practicing law.
-
Full Support
At most law firms, one lawyer will show up to represent you if your case goes to trial. With our team of lawyers, you get the entire team, as needed, for the cost of one lawyer. This provides excellent representation as well as a strong sense of support.
-
Full Coverage
Because our attorneys each have unique backgrounds and skills, our team approach helps us make sure that every facet of your case is considered and covered. We also get to know you and your unique needs to build a case that meets your goals.
-
Cost-Effective
With most firms, one attorney will handle every aspect of your case, even the small things that could be handled much more efficiently by a junior lawyer or paralegal. We use the least expensive resources needed to get the job done and we pass these savings on to our clients.
