What People Are Saying

We have recently retired from Connecticut to our home in Rhode Island which prompted us to search for a local firm to review and revise our will. Sullivan Law specializes in estate law and their office is located nearby.

During our meeting, Mr. Sullivan explained the specific differences between Connecticut and Rhode Island probate law. He answered our questions clearly and patiently and on his suggestion, we revised our will and created a trust that met our family's needs.

The process from beginning to end has been comfortable, professional and efficient. We are relieved to have all of our legal documents up-to-date with their help.

I was referred by a friend to Sullivan law offices. I was in the process of putting together estate documentation when I had a family emergency out of state. They could not have been kinder. Told me to get back to them when I got home . 2 months later there had to be some major changes to original draft.I had the good fortune of working with Olivia Labbe. She made all the necessary changes and spent a good deal of time going over new documentation...giving me all the time I needed to ask questions..never feeling rushed..I cannot say enough about Olivia..a beautiful bright and kind young lady.. I recommend her highly. The office staff was just as lovely and kind. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

We had the best experience at Sullivan Estate Law! Attorney Olivia Labbe explained everything in detail and in a way that made sense. Estate planning can be an overwhelming experience, but we felt completely at ease! I highly recommend this firm and Attorney Labbe!

If you're looking for estate/will guidance, Jim is the best. He guided us through the process of creating our will and also gave us all of the information necessary regarding trusts. He's very knowledgeable and gives you his honest opinion. Bill and I highly recommend him for all of your estate planning.

Because I am 95 years old, my family was anxious for me to have a will. Sullivan Estate Law staff was very helpful and efficient about providing me with a document that met all my needs. the experience was pleasant and positive. Emily mcKenney

We were looking for an attorney to help us set up our wills and get our estate in order. My brother recommended Sullivan Estate Law because of his positive experience with them. He was spot on. We met with attorney Olivia Labbe and she was great! We had questions about changing the names on the deed to our house or possibly setting up a trust and she was very clear and concise about the options and ramifications of each. When we had further questions about Living Wills and Powers of Attorney she responded quickly and clearly by email and text. Olivia was friendly and easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable with our decisions. She made the entire process very easy. We couldn't recommend her and her firm more highly.

When I looked around for an estate lawyer, Sullivan Estate Law was recommended to me. I found Jim Sullivan to be knowledgeable and kind. He explained the process for an estate plan and the different documents that go into it. He answered my sometimes very basic questions and listened to my wishes and concerns. The support staff too, was unfailingly friendly and helpful. Drawing up an estate plan with this firm was a pleasant experience. I am gladly recommending Sullivan Estate Law.

We went to Sullivan & Sullivan for estate planning after reading multiple positive reviews on our local town website and were not disappointed. James Sullivan and his associate, Olivia Labbe, were very impressive with their knowledge and ability to explain things in understandable language, allowing us to make informed decisions that we were comfortable with. Highly recommend.

I have known Jim and his firm for quite some years now. I have rarely met an individual, let alone an attorney that carries himself with such class and integrity. I would recommend Jim's estate planning services without hesitation. The man has an incredible work ethic, and you and your family would be guaranteed to be very well represented!

My husband and I have been looking for an estate attorney for 2 years. We could not even get people to call us back! I saw the Sullivan Law offices driving into Wickford and called. They not only called me back, but we set up an appointment and 6 weeks later we have completed all our estate needs. Jim Sullivan laid out our options, helped us make the right decision to meet our needs and worked with our financial planner. I am so grateful for their professional work and that this uncomfortable task is behind us! They are polished, professional and quick, highly recommend them!

We selected Jim Sullivan to assist with our estate planning because he came highly recommended by a close relative. We were confident he would be a knowledgeable and capable attorney - and that proved true. However, he was so much more than that! He came to our meeting not only prepared to advise us but ready to listen to our concerns and questions, some of which were of a personal nature. He gave us advice not only on the legal aspects of estate planning but on how to look at the inevitable challenges that come with managing family relationships. When we left the meeting, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off our shoulders. After the visit, we filed away the paperwork generated and have yet to give it a second thought as Jim helped us create a plan that we are 100% comfortable with. We will highly recommend Jim and his team to any friend or family member seeking estate planning counsel!

More than 10 years ago we were looking for lawyers who were knowledgable, helpful, easy to talk to, reasonable fee to set up our estate planning. We had consultations with three lawyers altogether and found Mr. James Sullivan to be such lawyer and selected him for our estate planning. During the course of drafting he made suggestions which we didn't think and finalized the document. Along with trust document he set up other documents appropriate to us. The entire transaction was smooth and quite satisfactory. Since then I contacted him to make some changes and seek advice which he provided timely. I am pleased with his services and recommended him to two of my friends.

I have had a relationship with Sullivan & Sullivan for over 20 years. They have assisted me with all my legal needs including my home purchase, my will, and forms for my children once they became "adults". Jim has always been kind, informative and helpful navigating the necessary steps in all of these scenarios. I also know that the firm has been incredibly helpful to my parents in their legal affairs, including estate planning. I would highly recommend them.

I was the Executor of a fairly large and complicated estate and Sullivan Law had done all the documents and preparation. When it came time to effectuate the wishes of the deceased, I worked with Sullivan Law to see this to conclusion. The attorneys and staff could not have been more professional, responsive and insightful. As an attorney myself, I cannot recommend this firm more for estate planning.

Was referred by a friend , as we needed to update our Will and Trusts . Jim came highly recommended. Jim and staff wonderfully explained RI state law and helped us restructure our previous NJ trusts to comply with new residence. They were very flexible as to when to meet and were extremely efficient in turn around time. i would highly recommend them to anyone needing estate planning.

My family and I have done business with Jim for several decades. For me, Jim has efficiently and professionally helped with both real estate and family estate matters. Jim and his staff are always available to answer questions and to assist in any way. Most impressive is how patient Jim is and that he takes the time needed to ensure I understand all the aspects of my legal matters. I recommend calling the office of Sullivan & Sullivan for your personal legal business to guarantee the job is done with efficiency and professionalism.

In 1978, my husband and I decided to buy land and build our house in South County. At the time, my dad was a lawyer in New York and he wanted to review (and make a few changes, of course) to our Purchase and Sales Agreement for which we needed a Rhode Island attorney. We did some research, mostly through word of mouth, and all the recommendations led us to Attorney Leo Sullivan, Jim's dad. For many years Leo remained our lawyer, mostly for real estate transactions and our First Wills and Testaments. Jim joined Leo's practice in 1992 after working with the Court and a large firm in Providence. We became friendly with Jim and his wife, Betsy, also an attorney, when we met though mutual friends in Saunderstown. After our children were born we realized it was time to review our Last Wills and Testaments. Knowing Jim & Betsy, we were very happy when Leo suggested that we set up our appointment with Jim. For the last 28+ years Jim has expertly handled any legal work that we've needed. He specializes in Estate Planning. so over the last 10 years he has also handled our Estate Planning needs. I grew up in a family of lawyers and worked in an attorney's office, and can honestly say that in addition to Jim's excellent knowledge of the law & professional manner, he brings two very special attributes to his practice. His innate ability to put his clients at ease in all circumstances and his exceptionally friendly manner, in my opinion, make Jim unique in the world of attorneys. Jim also has infinite patience for a client's questions and is gifted in his ability to clarify legalese in a complicated document in a way that it can be clearly understood by a client like me who's eyes tend to glaze over when reading a legal document! When friends ask who we use for our legal work, of course I recommend Jim without hesitation. In addition to singing his professional praises, I always remark about one of his most important practices which has always impressed me and for which I have great appreciation. Jim personally takes his client's calls, schedules his own appointments, and should I have to leave a message on his voicemail, he ALWAYS returns my call in a timely manner. My husband and I hold Jim and his practice, Sullivan & Sullivan, PC in high esteem and are most confident in recommending him as an attorney you can trust to do excellent work should you have the pleasure of becoming his client.

I have been using SullivanLawRI.com for over 25 years. Impeccable, trusted service. Professional, friendly, courteous, thorough, empathetic team. Highly recommended.

Sullivan & Sullivan are our first choice for all things legal. Jim and his team have helped us with everything from residential and commercial property transactions to corporate filings and estate planning. The staff is especially diligent with meeting or exceeding deadlines, while always courteous, flexible and sensitive to our challenging schedules. 5 stars!

My wife and I were looking for legal services as we were having a kid. I imagine this is when reality hits many people. They helped us create wills, estate plans, health wishes, etc. The process was explained clearly and it felt personal, not formulaic. Since that first very positive experience, Sullivan & Sullivan have helped with a few real estate needs and been there to answer legal questions. When they were not the right place, the people they sent us to were similarly high quality. I think we have found the right place for our family. The services are great, no nonsense, just what we need.

Working with Jim and his office made doing this much more comfortable for me and my wife .I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience from first call to finalizing my estate plan. Special thanks to Olivia and Jim for taking time to answer all of my questions! I feel confident in my plan for the future.
