 John Tarantino is one of those trial lawyers that win multi-million dollar lawsuits (whichever side he is on), and because he wins, appears on television, gets quoted in the media and legal press on litigation issues, and travels the country lecturing on trial techniques. We like his insight that "Nice Guys Finish First." Colleagues and opponents are alike in describing
Tarantino, president of Adler, Pollock & Sheehan
in Providence, as a “worthy opponent”, a “true gentleman”, and a “model of
civility” in the courtroom. Tarantino has been counsel in a number of
precedent-setting cases, and as a consequence he was elected by his legal
peers in the United States to be a Fellow of the International Academy of
Trial Lawyers, and also a a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.
He has served as President of the Rhode Island Bar Association, was selected
to serve on its Committees on Ethics and Professionalism and Public
Relations, and recently was President of the New England Bar
Association. |
