Workers' Compensation
We represent employees injured in workplace accidents, ensuring proper medical treatment coverage and compensation for lost wages. Our attorneys handle claims for temporary disability benefits, permanent impairment awards, and vocational rehabilitation. With deep understanding of Rhode Island's workers' compensation laws, we advocate for clients facing denied claims or unfair settlement offers from insurance companies.
Personal Injury
Our firm pursues compensation for individuals injured due to negligence, including car accidents and premises liability cases. We calculate damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost earning capacity. With experience in complex litigation, we prepare every case for trial while negotiating aggressively for fair settlements that address both immediate and long-term client needs.
Civil Litigation
We handle civil court matters involving contractual disputes, property damage, and other non-criminal legal conflicts. Our approach combines thorough discovery with strategic motion practice to build compelling cases. With extensive courtroom experience, we represent clients in both state and federal courts across New England.

I was referred here by a friend and Im glad I took the advice. I had the pleasure of working with Shelagh. She was extremely helpful and patient with all my legal questions. Shelagh was readily available to contact if I needed to. She never made me feel like I was making a bad decision nor did she ever pressure me. Im so glad I chose her firm to work with. Thank you so much Shelagh! Have a happy holiday!

Report
I was injured at work and immediately called Shelagh. Right away she was able to put me at ease. She explained the process and always kept me updated throughout the whole case. I went through a lot while Shelagh was working on my case and she was always there to support me and would check to see how I was doing. When I needed to contact her she was able to speak with me right away and was able to always answer questions that I might have. There sure is no one Id rather use then Simone and McCahey! I will be forever grateful for this firm!

Shelagh McCahey was a beacon of hope for me! There came a time during my Worker's Comp case that I realized I would need to obtain an attorney. Shelagh explained the process and all concepts of the case to me in a calm empathetic demeanor. There were many times I was overwhelmed with upcoming court hearings or proposed settlements but Shelagh's willingness to listen and communicate in a timely manner defused my stress. She always went the extra mile. Shelagh your performance was exemplary and I thank you for supporting me during trying times.

Angelo and Shelagh are personable, intelligent, creative, kind, and communicative lawyers. Through their hard work, diligence and creative legal work, they settled my car accident case (which had been outstanding for years), in months. They were clear and timely on communications and kept me updated. I knew they were working on my behalf and I completely trusted them. It was a pleasure to work with them both, and I would highly recommend them for personal injury claims. With immense gratitude.
