I was new to Rhode Island and had no idea what to doI found myself in the horrible circumstance of an unexpected/unplanned divorce amidst the worst time of my life. I was new to Rhode Island and had no idea what to do, or who to call, who was good, or who wasn't. All I knew was that I needed to find someone to help me navigate the worst days of my life, trusting them with my most private moments and fragile existence. A co-worker had recommended Assalone and Associates, so I, nervously, placed the call. From the very first communication with the admin staff, onward, it was the most wonderful, professional, kind, empathetic, safe space giving, helpful experience I could have ever hoped for. The entire staff was fantastic. I never once felt judged or alone, instead I felt cared for, represented, supported, and confident that I had the best team I could possibly ask for. I was lucky enough to be given to the care of Attorney and Managing Partner, Victoria Lombardi. I am forever blown away. Ms. Lombardi is fierce, charismatic, brilliant, kind, strong, understanding, and will fight the fight of her life for you, as if she were your own sister, but with a level of unparalleled professionalism and grace. Should I ever find myself in another unfortunate life situation or circumstance that requires an attorney, she will always and forever be my obvious choice. I trust her implicitly with my most sacred life issues and I would never go anywhere else. If you are in need of an attorney, do yourself a favor... call Assalone and Associates, and if you are so lucky as to get Victoria Lombardi, it will have been the best decision you have ever made, I guarantee it. She is phenomenal. I am so grateful to the entire team and thank them all for the way in which they cared for me in my darkest moments. Grateful.

I highly recommend Assalone & Associates if you're in a position where you need someone to fight for you.I highly recommend Assalone & Associates if you're in a position where you need someone to fight for you as a client and for your kids' best interests. I came to this firm with a tough case that my previous representation thought there was no way to counter. Stephanie Diorio was fabulous to work with and she listened to my concerns. She always responded promptly when I had a question or issue. It's a high-stress and confusing time, but working with Assalone & Associates made it all a little easier.

I always felt that she had the best interest of my kids and myself throughout the time we worked together.Assalone and Associates have helped me navigate within the family court system on many occasions. The paralegals are kind and professional on the phone, in person, and written communication. Stephanie D'Orio was my counsel most recently and I knew she would be a great fit after my first conversation with her. Her knowledge and experience helped me understand the legal system and put my situation into perspective. Stephanie was professional, prompt, and most importantly, she understands the emotional toll that divorce has on a mother and the children. I always felt that she had the best interest of my kids and myself throughout the time we worked together.

I would definitely recommend attorney Diorio and Assalone & Associates.Divorce is a difficult, complicated process full of emotions, financial considerations, legal documents, and timelines. Stephanie Diorio, Esq. definitely helped me every step of the way and I needed it! She was tough when I needed her to be, always had my best interest in mind, knew the law in and out, and really helped me legally and sometimes emotionally get through the entire process. Compared to the other lawyer I was dealing with, she was very efficient, always seemed 5 steps ahead, and helped me make the best decisions I could at every turn! I would definitely recommend attorney Diorio and Assalone & Associates, their entire office and staff was very professional, always in communication and available!

I highly recommend Veronica and her team.I highly recommend Veronica and her team. When I had my initial consultation with Veronica I knew instantly that this was the firm I needed to represent me. Jennifer Reynolds is extremely knowledgeable in the law and really takes her research seriously. She was always quick to answer my many questions. She explained every possible outcome and had a plan in place for each. She was ready for anything coming our way. She went above and beyond and we achieved the best possible outcome. Such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't even have the words to describe how truly grateful I am in the way she represented me. Thank you so much Jennifer, Veronica, and your entire team for all your hard work and dedication.

I could not have asked for better representation.I highly recommend this firm and in particular, Victoria Lombardi. I have had the privilege of working with Victoria twice now and she has been wonderful. Victoria is a strong, well versed woman who has a no nonsense approach. Everything was explained in a language that I could understand and I was kept up-to-date with everything that was going on. I could not have asked for better representation regarding my child support modifications.

She and her paralegal staff went above and beyond.Stephanie Diorio is an excellent attorney who is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of family law. She and her paralegal staff went above and beyond to make sure my divorce went as successfully as possible. She explained all aspects clearly and thoroughly to my understanding, she advocated in my
best interest. She worked extra to make up for the lack of work done by my ex's attorney. I never had to worry if I called or needed anything, Stephanie or one of the staffs was always available to answer my questions. Throughout the entire long drawn out process, Stephanie was there to support me and reassure me it would all work out. I would highly recommend Assalone & Associates for any Family Law need you may have.- Jaki F.

I would highly recommend Assalone & Associates.I learned about Assalone and Associates from someone I didn’t even know, based on their recommendation. And after talking with 5 attorneys, I felt like this practice of women was a perfect fit for me. While divorce is not an easy process, I was grateful to have had Jennifer Reynolds as my attorney. She took the time to listen and learn about what was important to me. She was realistic and was my sounding board to ensure that I had someone advocating for me and my kids throughout this process. She not only offered valuable insight for the present but also the future. The one thing that I really liked was the communication. The portal was so wonderful to have, which allowed us to share items in real-time to keep the process moving forward. I would highly recommend Assalone & Associates.

My children and I are so grateful for all they have done for us.
From the first phone call with Veronica, I knew that she and her team would do whatever it took to get the best possible outcome for me. My divorce came about suddenly and unexpectedly, and when I arrived at the office to sign the initial papers, it was late in the day. Rose met me there, with such a calm demeanor and warm understanding that made me feel safe in what had rapidly become a scary and uncertain world. Throughout the entire divorce process, everyone I encountered at Assalone and Associates displayed the perfect combination of strength, confidence, kindness and understanding. Jennifer Reynolds worked so very hard to help negotiate a settlement that provided me with more than I could have hoped for. Everyone on the team at Assalone and Associates works together with the best interests of their clients in mind at all times. My children and I are so grateful for all they have done for us.

I cannot recommend Assalone and Associates, and Stephanie Diorio specifically enough.
I worked with Stephanie Diorio who gave me a quote for the paperwork I needed written up and stuck to the originally quoted price (always a pleasant surprise!) She and her office were in frequent contact, either by phone, text, or email when communicating about meetings, revisions, and any questions I had. They were flexible about meeting either in person or through phone or Webex (zoom for professionals). As a woman, sometimes male-dominated industries and the males in them can treat women as unknowledgeable or frivolous; I wanted to make sure I was treated as an equal partner, with inherently valuable concerns even if I had not passed the bar. Stephanie and her team treated me and my fiancé with the utmost respect, making sure that all our questions were addressed. I cannot recommend Assalone and Associates, and Stephanie Diorio specifically enough. If you want your legal concern dealt with quickly and professionally, this is a great team to work with!

I can say with certainty they will represent you diligently.The team at Assalone and associates were incredible to work with! Renee was with me throughout my entire divorce process. This particular divorce was not an easy process and was extremely stressful. Anytime I needed her advice or service she was always there and responded immediately. She is extremely attentive and detailed oriented. Nothing gets by her! When things were going badly she had a way of explaining the situation realistically and making you feel secure during the process and talking you off the ledge. With the opposing counsel, she was vigilant and always came through. I highly recommend this team for family law and criminal defense. I can say with certainty they will represent you diligently. It actually seemed I was their only client because of their immediate response to any issue.

I know that we chose the exact right lawyer for what we needed done, and I can not thank them enough for getting our life back on track. The attention to detail is unmatched. Veronica and her team will fight extremely hard and she is not afraid to get her point across efficiently and directly. I was so impressed with how passionately she fought for us and never gave up until she got the job done. As a mother, I could feel her compassion for us and it made all the difference in the world to me. Thank you to the whole team at Assalone and Associates!!!

The entire team was extremely professional, polite, and understanding during the most difficult time in our lives and we are so grateful for all the hard work and long hours put in by everyone involved.Veronica and her team helped my wife and I during our difficult ordeal with family court recently. We were falsely accused of something by an undertrained "doctor" at a local hospital after bringing our 3-week old daughter in for a concern we had. Everyone at Veronica's office was involved in our case, the amount of attention we received was incredible. We felt as if her whole office dropped everything to focus on our case exclusively. They answered our numerous questions, worked with medical experts on our behalf, and were able to prove the incompetence of the original "doctor" who brought on the initial allegation. The entire team was extremely professional, polite, and understanding during the most difficult time in our lives and we are so grateful for all the hard work and long hours put in by everyone involved. I never imagined being in the situation we were faced with, but I am glad to know I made the right choice working with Veronica and her team to get through it.

An absolutely fantastic firm that delivers amazing results!Please stop and read this review. As a man, it is incredibly daunting to deal with the family court as I believe the deck is stacked against you. My journey began in 2016 and it is just now wrapping up - with a VICTORY of custody of my two boys. Through this journey, Veronica, Rose, and the entire staff were always attentive, empathetic, caring, and crazy knowledgeable. They treat you like your case is the only one, always have time to listen, and, more importantly, they give you the direction you NEED.
I would highly recommend Assalone & Associates to anyone (man or woman) who needs a trusted partner through their journey in Family Court.
An absolutely fantastic firm that delivers amazing results!!- William Sullivan

I highly recommend Assalone & Associates for a seamless experience during a seemingly difficult time in life.
