About Philip
Philip Gasbarro took a circuitous route to the law. He began his undergraduate studies at Stonehill College and went on to earn his law degree from Roger Williams University School of Law. That combination of a liberal arts background and a New England law education shaped how he approaches legal problems: pragmatic, attentive to detail and rooted in local practice.
After law school he entered private practice. Over the years he built a solo practice and now operates under his own name, the Law Office of Philip Gasbarro. He maintains admission to practice in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and he handles matters that arise in the courts and administrative forums of those states. Colleagues describe his work as straightforward and unadorned: he prepares cases carefully and prefers clear legal writing to flourish of rhetoric.
Gasbarro’s courtroom work is matched by a steady stream of advisory matters. He has experience across routine litigation tasks and pretrial preparation. He files pleadings, conducts discovery and argues motions when the case requires it. He also spends time counseling clients about procedural options and likely outcomes. He aims to make the often complex procedural landscape of state courts understandable to people who are not lawyers.
Running a solo office means Gasbarro handles a range of responsibilities beyond lawyering. He manages client intake, case strategy and the business side of his practice. That role requires both legal knowledge and practical administrative skill. Local court rules and informal practices matter in everyday filings, and he pays attention to those details.
Outside the office he remains connected to the legal communities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He keeps current on state law developments that affect his clients and adapts his practice to shifting local rules and precedents. His background at Roger Williams University School of Law gives him specific familiarity with Rhode Island practice, while his ties in Massachusetts derive from long-term work in state courts there.
People who consult Gasbarro can expect direct answers and hands-on involvement from intake through resolution. He runs a single-office practice that serves individuals and matters brought in Massachusetts and Rhode Island state forums. He currently concentrates his practice at the Law Office of Philip Gasbarro, handling cases and legal counseling in both states.
