Kristine S. Trocki opened her Jamestown, Rhode Island law firm in 2006 and has been practicing law in RI for over 10 years. Dedicated to serving her clients and the local community, Kristine opened her doors not only with a strong knowledge of the law but with an equal desire to practice in a way that is creative, intelligent, and mindful, thus offering clients several approaches to addressing/fulfilling their legal needs. Kristine has applied this philosophy to her many areas of practice including: Mediation; Divorce & Family Law; Personal Injury & Auto Accidents; Wills, Healthcare & Financial Powers of Attorney; Probate; Contract & Business Law; Employment Law; Landlord/Tenant Law; Medical Malpractice; Products Liability; Real Estate Closings/Refinances; Wrongful Death; DUI & Criminal Offenses; Collections; Zoning and Land Use.

Kristine is licensed to practice in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and she has been admitted to the United States District Court, District of Rhode Island as well as the United States District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin.
Prior to opening her own practice, Kristine worked as an associate in the civil litigation firm of Medeiros and Sanford, and she also spent several years as a litigation associate, first at Taylor, Duane, Barton & Gilman located in Providence, RI and Boston, MA and then at Harrison Law Associates, also located in Providence. Before her career as an Attorney, Kristine acquired a great deal of experience working in a variety of legal settings, including clerking at the ?rms of Adler, Pollock & Sheehan and Tillinghast, Licht & Semonoff. Kristine also interned at the United States Attorney?s Of?ce in Providence Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Supreme Court, and the Rhode Island Public Defender?s Of?ce.
In addition to her practice in Jamestown, Kristine is currently involved with numerous organizations and associations. A member of the Rhode Island, Massachusetts and American Bar Associations, Kristine is proud to be a member of the Rhode Island Mediators Association as she strongly believes in the power of resolving disputes between parties whenever possible without the time and ?nancial drains of prolonged litigation. In March 2011, Kristine was elected to a three-year term to serve on the board of the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce. Kristine is also a member of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce, and she recently served on the Board of Trustees and as PTL President of the Rocky Hill School in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
