Mr heart was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I asked for help on a Friday and he had everything set and ready Monday morning. Mrs Dechoudens at the front was very kind and also very helpful. I would immediately return if I had any further legal questions.

Mr. Hart helped me with a landlord-tenant dispute. He and his staff repeatedly made themselves available to answer my questions and help me navigate the legal system throughout the dispute. Everyone in the office was incredibly professional and kind in looking out for my interests. I had a favorable result thanks to them. Can't recommend this attorney enough.

If you are looking for an honest, straight forward attorney, an attorney who is fully invested in your best interest, and will go the extra mile for their clients; look no further! I had blindly put my trust in the hands of the most sleaziest Rhode Island Realtor Team, Nathan Clark. I had a really bad feeling immediately after signing the contract and falling for their sales gimmick. I'm thankful that I at least had the sense to get my own closing attorney and was incredibly blessed to have Samantha on my team. This remarkable team truly saved my life in spite of my bad choice of Real Estate Agencies. I definitely made one of the best counteractive choices in my life by choosing the Law office of Steven J. Hart! Samantha went above and beyond standing up against the low ethical standards of the Nathan Clark Team and their problematic abhorrent practices. I HIGHLY recommend you get in touch with Samantha at Steven J. Hart today and I can guarantee you will NOT regret it.

It turned out that the attorney would not be of great assistance with our unique case, however, his Paralegal spent a lengthy amount of time answering numerous questions we had during our phone conversation. She provided us with a ton of invaluable information, so much so that we walked away feeling that we knew exactly what we needed to do to prepare for our appeals hearing. This was clearly a case where an attorney could have easily made some easy money but instead decided to just guide us in the right direction and save us some money. We will definitely keep Attorney Hart's number on hand in case we are ever in need in the future! Thank you, thank you, thank you... kind people.

Simply put, I chose Attorney Steven Hart because his firm is responsive. It was the only one of 8 different firms I had contacted that returned my call in a most timely manner - within just 2 hours! - and that was my good fortune. A telephone conference was arranged for the following week and Mr. Hart was excellent at clarifying what best suited my needs during the discussion. Drafts of the documents I required were provided within the timeframe he promised and the final documents were completed a few days later. On the several occasions I called the office, Paralegal Samantha Cusati, was highly knowledgeable and most helpful in responding to my concerns. The entire process was smooth and efficient. Ms. Cusati and Mr. Hart are very affable and gracious people who make their clients feel comfortable and at ease. I will engage Mr.Hart for any future legal matters and highly recommend him to others in need of an attorney.

Steven and his staff, especially Samantha Cusati, Paralegal, were exceptional in handling my family law needs. Covid made things difficult and increased the timeframe for everything but Samantha and the team handled it with professionalism and diligence. This firm is highly recommended and I will refer friends and family alike to them.
