Jules D’Alessandro, a Warwick-based litigator, business, construction and personal injury attorney, has been named to the Rhode Island Advisory Council of the New England Legal Foundation (NELF, www.newenglandlegal.org), the non-profit public interest law firm in the region dedicated to addressing policy and Constitutional concerns related to free enterprise.

“We are indeed fortunate,” NELF President Daniel B. Winslow said, “to have Jules joining our Rhode Island Advisory Council. He brings with him his unsurpassed reputation as a leader among Rhode Island litigation attorneys and a career that has been based on what Jules calls his mission ‘to protect and advocate for those who can’t.’

“Our state Advisory Councils,” Winslow said, “help develop our Foundation’s positions on public policy matters, and they often recommend legal advocacy for consideration by our Board of Directors on issues of importance to the region’s economy. The Advisory Councils also host speakers of interest to their particular sector of the economy at locations convenient to members in each state.”
