Rhode Island Lawyers Weekly Lawyers of the Year 2005 are as follows, with blurbs on each provided by the publication:
Kevin F. Bowen (Providence, Breggia, Bowen & Grande, Hometown – Chelsea, Mass.)
“Demonstrating a level of empathy, diligence and perseverance that is characteristic of the best trial attorneys, Bowen was able to convince a jury to award his client $1.65 million, winning the state’s largest jury verdict in 2005.”
John A. Tarantino (Providence, Adler, Pollock & Sheehan, Hometown – Providence)
“Tarantino spent more than half of 2005 on trial. He found himself standing before juries arguing several groundbreaking cases this year such as defending a former lead paint manufacturer against a lawsuit brought by the Attorney General’s Office.”
Peter N. Wasylyk (Providence, Law Offices of Peter N. Wasylyk, Hometown – Providence)
“Wasylyk isn’t afraid to take on the titans. For example, the king of class action went up against Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island on behalf of more than 116,000 plaintiffs, garnering a $17.5 million settlement for subscribers who should have received discounts on prescription drugs and health services.”
