Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys At Law, Inc.

A firm with roots in one family

Founded in 1933, this Rhode Island practice traces its start to Louis and Izzy Kirshenbaum. The two built the firm, then brought in Alfred Factor and Paul Russo. Descendants of those founders sit among the partners who run the practice today.

The full legal name is Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum, Attorneys At Law, Inc. A history that runs this long is unusual in any profession, and more so when family members keep it going. In my opinion, a firm that has held its name for more than ninety years has something plain worth noting: continuity.

Where the team practices

The main office sits in Warwick, with a second office in Newport. For residents of Cranston, Providence, and Pawtucket, the firm offers consultations by Zoom.

That mix of a fixed base and remote meetings gives the practice reach across much of the state. A client near Providence can talk to a lawyer without a drive to Warwick. The two staffed offices still anchor the work in person.

Focus and practice areas

Two areas sit at the center of the work: personal injury and family law. Workers' compensation rounds out the main focus. The firm also lists business law, bankruptcy, and probate among the fields it takes on.

Personal injury

The personal injury side is broad. It covers car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, along with pedestrian cases. The team also handles premises liability, product liability, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, dog bite injuries, and wrongful death claims.

Family law

Family law work includes contested and uncontested divorce. The firm handles child support, child custody, and visitation. Prenuptial agreements are on the list as well.

As a reviewer, I read that range as a general practice built around a few deep concentrations. The firm does not present itself as a single-issue shop. It keeps a wide door open while naming the areas where its lawyers spend most of their time.

How the team is built

The site names six attorneys, and it ties each to a focus. Christopher L. Russo is a partner who works in personal injury and medical malpractice. Robyn K. Factor is a partner in workers' compensation. Jesse Nason is a partner who handles family law.

On the associate side, Arianna Stubbs works in workers' compensation. Jason Nystrom covers both personal injury and workers' compensation. Paul J. Russo is also listed among the firm's attorneys.

The named partners line up with the three main areas the firm advertises. That pairing suggests each concentration has a senior lawyer behind it, rather than one attorney stretched across everything.

What clients can expect

The firm offers free consultations, though family law matters are excluded from that. It also states that it tries its own cases rather than passing them along. For anyone weighing a claim, that first meeting is a low-commitment way to see whether the fit is right.

People who like to look before they call will find the practice on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and YouTube. Those channels give a sense of the firm's public face without a phone call. The core details, from the office locations to the areas of law, are set out plainly on the site.

In my opinion, the clearest signal here is the length of the record. Ninety years is a long time to keep a name on the door in one state, and the current roster carries several of the founding family names forward. For a client sorting through Rhode Island options in personal injury, workers' compensation, or family law, that history is a fair starting point.
