The Law Office of John Simonian has one of the highest client satisfaction ratings of any bankruptcy lawyer in the state. He is a longstanding member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and served as member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives from District 27 in eastern Cranston, from 1991-2003.
