About Robinson & Clapham

With decades of combined experience, the team of attorneys at Robinson & Clapham provide personal attention, advocacy and practical solutions to individuals and families throughout Rhode Island. As a boutique law firm, we limit our practice to better serve our clients in the following practice areas:

• Employment law: We are strong advocates for workers’ rights, and we represent employees in a variety of employment law claims, including FMLA-related disputes. If you have been victimized by discrimination, wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, sexual harassment, or other mistreatment from your employer, you may have the right to take legal action. Our clients include employers, as well, that benefit from our experience on both sides of the employment law equation.

• Family law: Husbands and wives who are facing divorce, and people with family law disputes involving child custody and other issues turn to our firm for compassionate concern and sound legal advice.

• Long-term disability: It can be difficult for seriously injured workers to receive the long-term disability benefits they are entitled to under their private or employer-provided policies. Delays, denials and early termination of benefits are unfortunately common. We help workers maximize their chances of a successful claim by helping them overcome the various hurdles that insurance companies often set up.

• Special education law: Parents of children with special needs trust our education law attorneys to provide knowledgeable representation in disputes over special education evaluations and testing, classroom accommodations and Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for autistic students and others.

• Personal injury: If you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to the negligent actions of another party, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim to recover damages. People injured as a result of car or truck accidents, drunk driving crashes, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents, slip-and-falls, construction site accidents, boating accidents and dog bites rely upon our personal injury lawyers for sound legal help and determined pursuit of fair compensation.

Whatever your legal issue is, our legal team has the resources, skills and experience necessary to handle your case.

Hired Attorney Noelle K. Clapham

I have hired Noelle and her firm several times over the last 10 years. In each case, the issues were employment or labor-related. Noelle absorbs information as fast as anyone I've seen, but she deliberates very carefully and weighs all options. She is consistently responsive, and I can count on her guidance. I highly recommend her.

Hired Attorney Noelle K. Clapham

I want to thank Attorney Clapham for the advice she gave me in regards to a separation agreement. Attorney Clapham was very knowledgeable, responsive and professional while we discussed my agreement. I appreciated how she explained in detail what my options could be and made recommendations along the way. My experience with Attorney Noelle Clapham was terrific, as I received great customer service. I trust her leadership and would again call her offices if needed. Thank you so much , John T.

Hired Law Firm

I have been a client of Robinson & Clapham for the past fifteen years. I have a son with Autism. The help that they have given to my son Donald can not be measured in any real way. They made sure that he could carry his inhaler on the school bus, helped us with his IEP, and ensured his proper transportation to school. They have made a very genuine contribution to his ability to become the Eagle Scout that he is today. I have always found them to be compassionate and very loyal to my son throughout his life. They made Donald and I feel welcome and very cared for. I would recommend them to anyone seeking assistance of an attorney,

Over the years, we've worked with Noelle Clapham, Robinson and Clapham, for RI Labor and Training issues with great success. Not only did she win a RIET case for us - (doesn't happen often in Rhode Island) - but she trained us so well that we've gone on to win Unemployment cases on our own!!! We don't hire or let anyone go without checking with Noelle to be sure we're compliant with RI Labor regulations. More recently, we worked with V. Bejma, in Robinson and Clapham's Collections Division. We'd been trying to get back payments totalling in the thousands, from a local hospital group for years, literally. We contacted Attorney Bejma; she sent a letter to their Legal Department and we got a check in full within two weeks. We were floored!!! Highly recommend Robinson & Clapham.

Hired Attorney Noelle K. Clapham

Noelle is extremely professional and thoughtful. She takes time to sincerely understand your situation and makes recommendations that allow you to consider options that may not have been apparent initially. Her tone and approach are very warm and welcoming- a true skill when dealing with sensitive topics such as divorce and child custody issues.

Hired Attorney Noelle K. Clapham

Noelle was referred to me to handle a sensitive and charged family law matter. At all times, she was patient and responsive. The other party was consistently unreasonable, and I required significant assistance. She understands the process deeply and knows the judges well. I always felt well represented and important to her.

Hired Law Firm

Noelle's support and guidance through my custody case far exceeded my previous experiences with family law attorneys. Her years of experience lend her calm and confidence in dealing with judges and opposing attorneys alike, which is incredibly helpful as a client. The inherent uncertainty of family court is always stressful, but I always felt confident in how I was being advised because of her ability to focus on what was best for my son. The outcome of my case was what I wanted, but more importantly, the journey to get there was not as stressful as I had anticipated, and I have Noelle to thank for that.

Hired Attorney Stephen Robinson

Dropped my case after filing and caused major disruption and set backs. Poor communication. Disrespectful attorney works for him. Very unprofessional and unethical. Very disappointed. Paperwork was not filed correctly.
