Attorney Jennifer Gehringer Puerini has extensive legal experience serving individuals who have been seriously injured, including over a decade of working in Plaintiff’s firms in Providence, Newport and Washington D.C.  She has held positions with the Legal Counsel to the Office of the Governor, the RI Attorney General's Office, and the Department of Defense at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Jennifer also served as an intern to the Honorable Stephen Erickson in the Newport District Court.  Her experience has provided her with a strong background in civil litigation, particularly medical malpractice and personal injury law.
