Who is behind the site
Thomas C. Thomasian was admitted to the bar in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in 2007. He began as an attorney for the Public Defender's Office, and criminal defense has been his only practice area since — in every district and superior criminal court in Rhode Island.
When someone uses the checker and asks for a review, it goes to him. The firm drafts, files, and argues the motion, and appears in court for you so you don't have to.
Clients rate the firm 4.9 out of 5 across 188 Google reviews, and Attorney Thomasian 5.0 across 88 reviews on Avvo.
How the law on this site is checked
Every rule on the site is checked against the text of the Rhode Island General Laws and the public laws passed by the General Assembly, not against summaries. When the legislature changes the law, as it did in June 2026, the site is rechecked line by line. Each page shows the date it was last verified at the bottom.
Where the statute's wording leaves room for argument, the rule the site applies is the one Attorney Thomasian applies in practice.
