My name is Tom Thomasian and I have dedicated my career to practicing criminal defense law in Rhode Island. I did not start out as a private RI defense lawyer but rather as an attorney for the Public Defender’s Office. It was there that I learned I could be a voice for the voiceless. Being a criminal lawyer is about making a system that is overwhelmingly stacked against you, hear what you have to say. It’s about guaranteeing your rights won’t be violated. No person should ever feel bullied by a system that is meant to protect them from police misconduct or overzealous prosecution.
