Summary

My name is Paul d'Oliveira, President & CEO of d'Oliveira & Associates. I am very passionate about helping the injured and provideing quality customer service. In 1989 I founded a law firm dedicated solely to personal injury law. Today we have 15 offices located in RI & Southeastern, MA. d'Oliveira & Associates' philosophy about practicing Personal Injury Law is based mainly on the team approach, which includes a case management system that gives each & every client an Attorney & Case Manager (Paralegal), to make sure that every client is continuously informed about their case. Attorney Paul d’Oliveira started his personal injury law practice in 1989 with two offices in Fall River, MA and East Providence, RI. Today his firm has 15 offices in RI and Southeastern, MA. Attorney d’Oliveira graduated from LaSalle Academy in Providence, RI in 1975 with honors. He graduated from Suffolk University Law School cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Creighton University in 1979. He got his J.D. or law degree from Suffolk University in 1984. Attorney d’Oliveira is admitted to practice law in both RI and MA. He attends several legal seminars every year to learn and apply new innovative ways to practice personal injury and social security disability law as well as learning about dangerous drugs and defective products. He is always looking for new ways to better service the clients in his firm as getting clients a fair settlement of their loss quickly so they can move on with their lives is important as is ongoing quality client service. His professional associations include the Massachusetts Bar Association, the American Association of Justice, and the Rhode Island Association of Justice.
