We want to be clear about the types of legal issues we cannot assist with. At Disability Rights Rhode Island (DRRI), we focus on helping with issues related to your disability. We cannot help with general legal issues that are not related to your disability.

• Bankruptcy: Filing for bankruptcy when you are unable to pay your debts.
• Criminal Law: Issues related to criminal charges, such as arrest, trial, or sentencing.
• Family Law: Issues like divorce, child custody, or child support.
