What Marasco & Nesselbush LLP does

Marasco & Nesselbush LLP is a privately held, Rhode Island-based personal injury and medical malpractice law firm organized as a limited liability partnership and founded in April 1999 by Joseph P. Marasco and Donna M. Nesselbush. The firm employs 18 attorneys with over 350 years of combined legal experience across six office locations in Providence, East Providence, Wakefield, Warwick, and Woonsocket, Rhode Island, plus Quincy, Massachusetts. Its practice spans personal injury, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, boat), catastrophic injury, wrongful death, premises liability, workers compensation, Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI), product liability, and birth injury cases, with reported cumulative client recoveries exceeding $200 million.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis for personal injury matters (no fees unless recovery is obtained) and on professional-services fee structures for Social Security Disability and workers compensation representation. Client acquisition combines a traditional sales-led motion (office-based intake, phone consultations, free case evaluations) with inside-sales phone intake and 24/7 website contact forms, supported by community sponsorships, a Charitable Foundation established in 2012 (over $500,000 donated), a bilingual English/Spanish website and podcast ("Ask the Lawyer Donna") targeting the Latino community, and content marketing through blog, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn channels.

The firm has no technology product, no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Ownership remains with the founding partners and named equity partners (Anthony S. Buglio, Mark H. Grimm, Jane R. Duket, Timothy P. Lynch, Kendall B. Bargeman), with Heather Jennison serving as Chief Operating Officer. Recognition includes Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers (Mark Grimm named Lawyer of the Year 2022), U.S. News Best Law Firms, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and National Trial Lawyers Top 100, alongside Providence Business News Best Places to Work (2013 and 2022) and PBN Notables 2024 honors for five attorneys.

Direct peers

• Decof, Barry, Mega & Quinn: Providence, Rhode Island-based personal injury and medical malpractice firm. Listed in Marasco & Nesselbush attorney Douglas Chabot's prior work history, indicating direct overlap in Southern New England PI practice and a clear head-to-head competitor for the same regional caseload.
• Mandell, Schwartz & Boisclair: Providence-based personal injury law firm serving Rhode Island and Massachusetts with a similar contingency-fee model and PI/medical malpractice focus. Competes directly with Marasco & Nesselbush for the same plaintiff caseload across Southern New England.
• Bottaro Law Firm: Rhode Island personal injury firm handling car accidents, slip and fall, and medical malpractice matters on contingency. Directly comparable in practice mix, regional footprint, and contingency-fee model.
• The Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini: Long-established Providence-based personal injury and workers' compensation firm. Comparable in size, geography, and PI/workers' comp practice mix to Marasco & Nesselbush, competing for the same Rhode Island plaintiff caseload.

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: Largest plaintiff-side personal injury firm in the United States with a national advertising-driven intake funnel. Operates the same contingency-fee PI model at vastly greater scale, and is increasingly advertising into the Rhode Island/Massachusetts market.
• Cellino Law: National personal injury firm (formerly Cellino & Barnes) operating a high-volume contingency PI model. Comparable business model and plaintiff-side focus, with substantially broader geographic reach and marketing budget.
• Wilshire Law Firm: California-based plaintiff-side personal injury firm with national reach across catastrophic injury, employment, and mass tort matters. Similar contingency-fee plaintiff model and award-winning trial team, but operating at significantly larger scale.
• Lanier Law Firm: National trial law firm focused on catastrophic personal injury, mass tort, and complex litigation. Comparable plaintiff-side model and high-value case focus, with deeper resources for mass tort and class action work than Marasco & Nesselbush.
• Sokolove Law: National mass tort and personal injury firm operating a marketing-heavy plaintiff intake model. Comparable contingency-fee approach with a focus on mass tort niches (mesothelioma, nursing home abuse) that overlap with several of Marasco & Nesselbush's practice areas.
