Client Testimonials

I had known Chris [McNally] for about a year and could tell by his charity work that he was a good person who cared about the community. It wasn’t until I needed him that I realized what an extraordinary job he does. Right from the start I knew I need someone on my side that I could trust. I called Chris and he responded immediately. His warmth and understanding helped me feel that someone understood what I was going through. He and his staff jumped right in, they took care of everything! They had answers to questions I didn’t even know to ask. You could look for better representation, but you are not going to find it. Chris is the BEST! If I could give him a one hundred star review I would. You can’t go wrong with his experience, knowledge and honesty. He is a great guy who did a great job. Thanks for everything Chris.

Across SRT, we have found that the firm and its entire team are extremely focused, responsive, meticulous, thorough, and thoughtful. Having a legal partner and a team that delivers both clear, level-headed advice in addition to RESULTS is of great value. Having counsel which delivers at a consistently high level of personal and professional standard is of greater value still.

“After my second B-Visa denial and the prospect of not being able to continue as skipper of a boat on its passage to American waters, I realised I needed professional help. Chris McNally was recommended to me as an immigration attorney and someone who could help with my crucial third and possibly final attempted to obtain my B-visa. Chris was methodical in his approach and took the time to understand both my current situation and the reasons for my previous visa denials. Not only was his preparation of the DS-160 meticulous, he prepared a comprehensive set of documents in support of my application. Prior to my third interview Chris coached me through possible interview questions and I am delighted to say my third visit to the US Consulate was successful. I highly recommended Chris McNally.

Yesterday’s closing was one of the best I have been to in 15 years of being a realtor. The transaction (leading to the closing) was less than enjoyable, with all of the blunders made by the lender, but your office more than made up for it. Anette was on top of everything that came across her email and incredibly prompt with her replies. Mr.Thayer was efficient at the closing table yet took the time to educate my out-of-state buyers about the new TRID closing documents (or is it consummation?) as well as Newport’s restaurants and places to see.

So please thank everyone at your office once again. And I do hope that I have more closings at your office as this one was an absolute pleasure.

The immigration team at SRT worked in a measured and efficient manner throughout the detailed procedure to establish my new status without fuss or crisis. Additionally, the friendliness and competence of those involved ensured there was no stress in what can be a long and complicated process. Their expertise in immigration matters is thoroughly recommended.

I have known Deb Chernick both as a friend and legal counsel, for over 20 years. She has helped me through both good times, and rough times. We met when I closed on my first house. We became friends and have enjoyed many good times together, and great conversations. She guided me through a rough divorce, and took away the stress that comes with all decisions, and emotions that come with a divorce. She’s helped me with my will, and the closing on my refinance of my home, after my divorce. She even went to town hall to file the paperwork for my name change! I couldn’t imagine a more professional legal counsel, or a better friend! Deb is a gem that I will always treasure!

I can’t thank you enough for shepherding me through this process, you did a fantastic job. Especially the addition of strongly encouraging me to get my neighbor’s signatures of support. Not something I would have done on my own, but proved very helpful as part of the case.”

Just wanted to say “THANK YOU” so much for all you did in selling our property in Newport. A special THANKS for the countless hours of dealing with the banks, the tons of paperwork involved, and keeping us informed at all times. Also thanks for dealing with our tenants with the utmost courtesy, and working around everyone’s schedule. You all made us feel comfortable in knowing you were doing your best with all the proceedings. I will highly recommend you to all our family and friends. Thank YOU!

I am currently a client of Debra L. Chernick, the legal counsel in your Wakefield office who has been handling both my divorce case and the title transfer of my home. Throughout the time of my working with Debra, not only has she provided excellent legal help; she’s been a superior source of general wisdom, too, an all-around advocate and advisor at what has otherwise been a difficult time for me, personally. Debra Chernick is a fine attorney, and I will be sure to recommend her to anyone and everyone I know.

Adam and Melissa – I felt that I had to write this to let you know how much I enjoyed working with you both on the purchase transaction. As we all are aware, this was a challenging situation with many bumps along the road. If this had been left in the custody of two less capable attorneys I don’t know what the outcome might have been. I am most appreciative that you allowed me access to you both and that we could work together to help bring this to fruition. I appreciate the way you both thought things through when problems arose …many other attorneys would have started “firing their guns” to impress people. You both impressed by keeping cool under pressure and using your experience to solve the many problems we faced. I am very pleased by the quality of your work, and even more so that I have you both as friends and referral partners. Once again, thanks for an excellent job under very difficult circumstances. I think SRT Law is very fortunate to have you both there for the future.

SR&T were extremely professional with regards to all aspects of my case. They were prompt in responding to all of my inquiries and completely answered my questions. Not only would I seek their services again, I have also informed other law firms in my home state of Massachusetts, who are not licensed in Rhode Island, of their excellent work.

I just received word from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that my application for status as a permanent resident has been granted. Great news. My wife is a U.S. citizen and about a year ago we decided to retire to Cape Cod in Massachusetts. But first I had to get permission to become a permanent resident here. Our American daughter and her English husband had moved to the U.S. with their two little girls about a year before and they had done their application without an attorney. So, knowing from them how complicated and time consuming the process is we decided not to do it ourselves but to get help from an immigration attorney. About nine months ago we contacted Sayer Regan & Thayer, LLP, in Newport, Rhode Island, who where recommended to us, and they agreed to help us with my application. For personal reasons we did not want to take up residence before 2010 and during the fall of 2009 we communicated frequently with Sayer Regan & Thayer, LLP, by email and phone from England where we lived and provided them with information and a great number of documents. By early 2010 the firm had put together a very comprehensive package which was then submitted to the U.S. authorities and we moved to Cape Cod. Four months later we were called for an interview in Boston where we had a short and completely noncontroversial interview with an adjudicator from the immigration authorities.

I believe that Sayer Regan & Thayer, LLP, did an exceptionally good job in putting together a comprehensive package of application forms with many supporting documents. It is probably because of their thoroughness and insight into the whole process that everything has gone so smoothly with the immigration authorities. One thing I particularly appreciate is that I could live here while my application was being processed.

It is not often that I believe I got my money’s worth to the extent I did with Sayer Regan & Thayer, LLP. And on top of it, they are very pleasant, competent and efficient people to deal with.
