401.272.5600 Rhode Island | Connecticut | Massachusetts


Letter from the PublisherDear Readers,

As a subscriber to our pub-lication, you know we have made it our business to hon-or the exceptional work of Rhode Island attorneys. Our newest recognition program debuts today: Reader Rank-ings.

Instead of honoring indi-viduals, these awards recog-

nize the businesses and organizations that support you each day in your practices. Who better to decide the top businesses in each category than you! Whether it’s forensic accounting or malpractice insurance, you know who does it the best. And you told us, voting via lap-tops, desktops and phones from Providence to Bristol to Westerly. All we did was calculate the results.

You’re a discriminating lot, so to receive this honor is something these businesses will want to brag about for quite a while. The top companies represented in each of the categories help you in your work across the spectrum of your practices. Some have been around for many years offering stellar services. Some are new on the scene but already showing great promise.

We thank you for your support in making your de-cisions on the winners of our 2019 Reader Rankings. And, no doubt, the businesses you selected in the top spots appreciate your support every day.

Sincerely,

Susan A. Bocamazo, Esq.

Publisher

“No Comment.”

Really?As a lawyer you would never cede an argument to the other side in the courtroom, so why would you do so in the Court of Public Opinion?When your client is facing litigation, and you answer NO COMMENT when approached by the media, you are letting someone else define the issues. This has the potential to cause irreversible damage to your client’s reputation.The Perry Group specializes in developing and executing communications strategies that support your litigation goals and help level the playing field. We’ve helped organizations and individuals nationwide facing toxic torts, product liability actions, copyright infringements, criminal investigations, indictments and more. Litigation communications isn’t about spin. It’s about setting the record straight.
