    The receptionist were very nice, answered every one of my questions without hesitation and it was hassle free just gave them my address and phone number and I handed over what the lawyer asked me to hand them and I got a call back the very next day highly recommend Rhode Island legal aid.

    Their greatest achievement has to be barring a terminally ill grandmother from seeing her only granddaughter (3 years old at the time); who both was financially supported and cared for by her grandmother since being born

    What they do is wonderful. However I've been pretty frustrated for many weeks b/c I've been trying to get rent relief, getting turned down and getting nothing but barriers to any communication. Finally I went there and begged over the outside intercom for a return phone call appointment (they still don't see ppl in person b/c COVID). The lovely gent who called fixed the issue in my record and now I'm set. I'd love to see them examine their processes so ppl don't get lost in the shuffle like this anymore. Becoming homeless in the past week was a lot harder having to chase after rih, I do admit. After the phone calls today I was prancing in the street.

    waste of time. All they care is about adding data to their system. Not very equitable. I call to get some guidance, but their main concern was not my situation even after I shared my concerns. they keep going back give some information, your social security... I called for help, left there more frustrated then before I called. I'm a strong advocate for services in the community, however you need to revise your engagement policy and remember you're working with people that are is search of you assistance first. Very disappointed

    Wish it seemed like someone gave a damn about my issues -- Receptionist was ready to hang up on me until i got frustrated and asked if anybody could call me back to provide the services advertised.... Absolutely ridiculous

    Delighted and grateful for this law firm, and thanks to attorney Rachel, the divorce was free and she helped me with custody and the entire child support process, so I'm even more grateful.

    Legal services is trash 🚮 I have been called them since october first.They called me back, did the intake, after that they NEVER called me back. I had courts this morning. Lol They never said anything didn't even call me the day before mind you I've been calling asking for this guy to call me back before the court date before I even settle anything myself.I didn't even see the lawyer that I was supposed to see, all I have is a mr.Brian. so I want to say thank you to legal services for helping me out. For pushing me to be my own lawyer. Thank you for all your call backs and trying to help me out. Thank you for all you "support" ❤️ I am pretty sure you know who this is. I hope this message finds somebody helpful, but legal service does not help with evictions.

    Why would someone take my info,Say they will call me back and never call back. If I'm calling it's because I have a serious matter that's important to me. I know it doesn't mean anything to them because they show it the fact that I've been calling today and someone to answer the phone and hang up is beyond childish and unprofessional
