We are ready to discuss any and all matters relating to special needs planning, special needs trusts, special education advocacy, due process litigation, recent developments in special needs laws or any other topic that strikes your fancy.

Fabisch Law client Dawn Huntley, a Rhode Island Attorney who had previously spent time as a prosecutor in the attorney generals office, has been allowed to proceed with her racial and sexual discrimination case against the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office after a ruling by the Presiding Justice of the Rhode Island Superior Court. The Attorney General's office had sought to have the case dismissed on technical grounds because the plaintiff's old attorney had initially filed an action in the United States District Court but then failed to follow up on the matter which was ultimately dismissed. Huntley then sought out attorneys Matthew Fabisch and Nicholas Gelfuso to bring an action in the state courts. When the Attorney General's office then sought to dismiss the case based on the earlier federal court action, Attorney Fabisch argued that the earlier case was not an adjudication on the merits and that Huntley was entitled to her day in court. In November, the Court issued an opinion holding that Huntley's case could move forward. Full text of the court's opinion is available here.

The Fabisch Law, L.L.C. offices recently moved from their old location on Post Road in Warwick, to our new location at:

875 Centerville Road

We are excited about the move and hope that it will enable us to continue to provide excellent service to our clients as we continue to expand.
