Attorney Renee M. Bevilacqua has long been known for her ferocity and trial skills in both the criminal and family courts of Rhode Island.
After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Roger Williams College in 1988, Ms. Bevilacqua traveled South to Nova University School of Law, a leading institution for Trial Advocacy, spending her last term prosecuting DUI and Domestic violence cases for the West Palm Beach State Attorneys Office.
Gaining admission as an Attorney in the State of Florida in 1991, the State of Rhode Island in 1992, and the U.S. District Court for Rhode Island in 1993, Attorney Bevilacqua found herself on the front page of Lawyers Weekly in January of 1995, having successfully sued utility giant Boston Edison in a complex CERCLA environmental liability action in the United States District Court. Based upon Attorney Bevilacqua's argument, the Federal Court found Boston Edison had sufficient contacts to be held liable in Rhode Island when it (using another disposal company) dumped hazardous, PCB laden, street light capacitors onto her clients property along the banks of the Blackstone River in Woonsocket, RI.
