Click to report rating    3/19/18   5     5     5     5     5   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. RID: 197190

Not only is he warm and personable, but he takes the time to listen to client’s concerns, and gives them straightforward feedback from the get-go. He advocates on behalf of his client’s best interests, but also works diligently with the opposing parties to help couples come to a resolution. Kerry also takes a collaborative approach when solving complex issues, so that couples can obtain the expertise they need to craft a settlement agreement that stands the test of time. He has a long-standing reputation amongst his peers and judges as being one of the best family law attorneys in RI. I have referred numerous clients to Kerry, and will no doubt continue to do so based on how he has helped my clients throughout the divorce process! - Jane McAuliffe, CDFA, Collaborative Divorce Strategies RID: 190126

 6/2/16   5     5     5     5     5   I recently used Kerry for the divorce of my husband of 11 years. I walked in to his office with uncertainty and left with hope. Being a full time working mom of five I had a lot of questions, concerns and emotional ups and downs. Kerry was strong for me through out this roller coaster ride. From the very beginning, he believed in me, and empowered me to press on. With his knowledge of the law, integrity and hard work I was able to get through the arduous process and land on my feet, in a place that kept the interest of my children and their futures in mind. I have one word for Kerry. Amazing. My case was contested and complicated at best and when push came to shove, he navigated every last finite detail such that my children and me would be okay. I would recommend Kerry as an attorney. I could of never made it to the other side without him. RID: 169989
