Firm Philosophy »

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

Personalized service with an experienced injury attorney. A lot of law firms talk about service, but at Tapalian Law, that is truly what we are all about. You will always meet with attorney David Tapalian. Most law firms can't say that. Attorney David Tapalian will work your case directly. Yes, he will have support staff assisting him, but you will always be able to get in touch with attorney David Tapalian. You will have his direct phone number in the office and direct email.

How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?

This is a very good question. Arbitration is a very useful tool in the State of Rhode Island, to increase the settlement award offered by the at-fault insurance company. Rhode Island has a statute, that permits plaintiff's counsel, to force mandatory arbitration, if the value of the case is $50,000 or less. Arbitration is still an option for cases with a greater value of $50,000. The benefit of arbitration, is that it is a much faster mechanism to effectuate the mediation and/or settlement of a claim, then dealing with the courts and filing a civil complaint. Filing a civil complaint is something that we often do, but arbitration and mediation is a great tool.

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

As a Brown University graduate and a graduate of Roger Williams University School of Law, I feel that we are uniquely equipped to handle any situation that presents itself, within the representation of those injured due to the negligence of another.
