Jayanthi Leahy

I would highly recommend Kerry Rafanelli as an attorney. During my case, Kerry served as a divorce mediator and I found him to be extremely personable, smart and fair. I had met with another mediator and felt that their advice and perspective was not as strong as Kerry’s. He was able to complete my divorce in a very thorough and efficient manner. We were coming up to the one year mark and Kerry worked tirelessly with us over many late nights to help get this done quickly. Lastly, as a guardian he was able to provide me with a unique perspective when it came to matters regarding my children. The most important thing you will get with Kerry is someone who has lots of experience with the RI legal system and can give you valuable insight when it comes to your case.

I can only say positive things about Kerry. When I met him 4 years ago to handle my divorce it was a very difficult time for me. After speaking with Kerry for 10 minutes he put my mind at ease and I knew he would help me get threw my divorce with the best possible outcome. Kerry is very hardworking and fights hard for his clients. Anytime I had any questions or concerns about my case he would always call me back right away. I would not hesitate to use Kerry in the future or recommend him to anyone in need of excellent legal advice.

I found Kerri by chance while searching for a divorce attorney. And I am really glad I did! Divorce is a devastating event as it is and I was so happy to find such reliable, proactive and most importantly KNOWLEDGEABLE attorney. More than anything I needed to feel safe and Kerri did his job and fought for me every step of the way. He is pricey but it is well worth it.

Christine Kelliher

Kerry came highly recommended to me by a colleague and I would without hesitation recommend Kerry to anyone.

Excellent attorney!

Sara K

I have come to Kerry twice in regards to custody matters for my son. Kerry is personable, quick witted and matter of fact. He takes the time to listen, ask questions and move forward. His office staff are efficient and courteous and calls and emails are replied to in an expeditious manner. I am glad to have found an attorney who not only is excellent and results driven, but seems to truly care about helping people.

robin cote

I would highly recommend Kerri to anyone needing legal representation and advice! He is the BEST! Kerry is compassionate, very outgoing and personable, and extremely knowledgeable in what he does. He was able to put me at ease during a very emotional and stressful time. Kerry is very experienced and he is very well respected by his peers and in the courtroom. I would also like to add that his assistant, Jenni , is great to work with and was always very helpful if I had any questions ! Thank you so much, Kerry, for being by my side and getting me thru this difficult time!

Meg Heston

Over the years Kerry has represented me in legal matters. His professionalism, dedication and compassion was greatly appreciated during some difficult situations. Throughout my divorce proceedings Kerry was instrumental in my receiving the child support for which I was entitled. In fact, if it were not for Kerry and his tireless efforts, including forcing my former spouse to verify his income, and finally convincing him that garnishing his wages was the right thing to do, results could have been very different. I have recommended him to many of my family, friends, and colleagues in the past, and will continue to do so in the future.

Joe Cinq

Kerry's knowledge of the law and court room presence is second to none. After being put in a very difficult situation I am glad that I had Kerry on my side. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of representation.

James Harrison

As the single custodial parent of four small children all under the age of seven, I can't begin to thank Attorney Rafanelli for all he has done for my family. His compassionate and caring nature was truly a blessing and a great asset in fighting for my rights and my children's best interest. He regularly went above and beyond to advocate for our concerns and to make a very difficult situation for my children and I less painful. He has a strong sense of family values. I would recommend Attorney Rafanelli to anyone who wants the best representation for themselves and/or their families.

Alison Santerre

Kerry has handled a couple of different cases for me over the years. His most outstanding quality is that he treats all clients with respect and he has a great deal of patience wrapped up in humor!

Diana Bain

Kerry is compassionate or he would not have taken my case. He stepped in at the last moment and because of him I believe I did not lose custody of my children. No divorce case is easy but my case was especially challenging because my spouse’s parents have unlimited financial resources and felt that by leaving the marriage I had damaged my former spouse. They were really out to get me. The first attorney I hired was nice, but I was getting pushed around and the case was going against me. As chance would have it an acquaintance, in hearing about my situation, said she had an excellent experience with Attorney Rafanelli. So I met with him, and felt he would do a better job and hired him. Thank God I met with him and switched. I don’t think there is anyone harder working than Kerry.

Richard Hole

Never returns phone calls

Craig O'Rourke

During this difficult divorce he said he would get me thru this and he did. Compassionate to me and my family concerns, he was very knowledgeable, competent and respected by his peers and the bench as I personally witnessed. Always available and responded to my calls promptly. On target in what he says and on time in getting it done. He says what he does and does what he says. He is the right person to have on your side. An honest and blunt professional, he is worth every penny. I would recommend him and call him again if ever needed.

Bruce Smith

If you have any legal issues Kerry Rafanelli is the man you want on your side. His wealth of experience, expertise in the area of law and compassion make him a very unique individual in this profession. I highly recommend him!

Donna Hassell

Kerry is the BEST attorney for anything relating to family needs - divorce, wills, legal concerns, etc. He's been helping my family and I with all legal concerns for over 10 years. The best quality Kerry has is his ability to relate to the children; always putting the interests and needs of the children first. He is understanding that situations which lead us to an attorney are stressful and often painful - he does all he can to help and guide in the right direction.

Tim Collins

Honest and straightforward and he got me the result I needed. Very happy that I hired him. Thanks, Kerry!

mary rathier

I was extremely upset when a close relative took me to court on criminal charges. Mr. Rafanelli was very professional and calmed my fears with his obvious expertise in the matter. He asked all the right questions and together we gathered enough evidence to win my case. He was able then to get the case dismissed.

Mason16Sport

My girlfriend drove 45 minutes for an appointment with Kerry only for him to tell her he doesn’t want to take the case on because he knows her current lawyer. Simple courtesy phone call I guess is non existent these days...

Donna Damiano

Wonderful person. Kerry pays attention to detail. Secretaries are great also. Thank you very much Kerry. I would recommend you to everyone I know needing your services.

Nicole Breting

I was referred to Attorney Rafanelli by a friend at work for a family law matter. I don't want to get into the particulars of my case, but I will say Kerry was the right lawyer. I just got lucky finding him. He is a great listener and his assistant Jenny is the best! I like that he took the time to listen to me and what I wanted before telling me what needed to be done to resolve my situation. Everything he said about how the case would unfold did happen. He got back to me the same day whenever I called 90% of the time, but he is busy. I guess other people refer clients to him also.

Tim Flaherty

Kerry is a real Pro Attorney! He is very smart and will give you the support needed from start to finish. His unique sense of humor really helps at a tough time. A true Master in the court room.

Max Christensen

Kerry represented me in Newport recently. It was an emotionally trying situation but he was reassuring and professional. He explained my options and was able to get my case dismissed. I was very pleasedwith the outcome and was thankful to have him by my side. Thanks again for everything Kerry.

Kim Oakes

Excellent Attorney. I highly recommend him. He is a very professional and compassionate person every step of the way. The best!

Christine Ryan

I would highly recommend Kerry Rafanelli. When I was referred to him by another attorney, for my divorce, I was pleased to have someone so knowledgable, compassionate and focused. This was my first divorce (hopefully my only) and Kerry and his assistants help me through all the steps with calming reassurance. I am grateful for the job that he and his team did. Many Thanks!

Wayne

Kerry was fantastic getting me through my divorce. He is very laid back yet professional and that's just what you need during the stress of a divorce. You will pay more up front than many others but that's only because Kerry prices out realistically. My ex initially got her Attorney for half as much. Initially... .Then she got a bill later pushing the fees up to what I already covered at the start. And he saved me eight times what his fees are so win/win there. And he is worth it, he dominated the room during negotiations and protected me from some slick attempts to try and revisit issues that were already settled.

Eric Carpenter

Kerry represented me during my divorce case, and I'm quite happy with his services. He listened to my concerns and issues in a friendly and professional manner, and did a great job of helping me understand what the realistic outcomes might be in all aspects of the case, as it unfolded. I'm very satisfied with the end result, and I would certainly recommend Kerry to anyone seeking a divorce attorney.

Jo-Ann Molinaro

Kerry assisted me with a traffic court issue. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable and put me at ease. I would consider referring him to others.
