About Meaghan H. Fiske
Justice Starts with the Right Advocate.
I am an attorney focusing on criminal defense and family law throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with a practice based in Attleboro, Massachusetts. I represent clients in Bristol County, Southeastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, including Attleboro, Fall River, Taunton, New Bedford, Providence, and Warwick.
My practice areas include criminal defense matters such as OUI/DUI, domestic-related offenses, drug and theft charges, probation violations, and traffic matters, as well as family law cases involving divorce, child custody, parenting time, child support, alimony, and restraining orders. Each case is approached with careful attention to the specific facts, procedures, and individual circumstances involved.
I earned my Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School and completed graduate-level coursework in the Master of Social Work program at Rhode Island College. Prior to practicing law, I spent more than a decade working with the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth, and Families, gaining extensive experience with complex family dynamics, child welfare issues, and high-conflict situations.
My background in social work informs a thoughtful and practical approach to legal representation, particularly in matters involving families, children, and emotionally charged disputes. I am admitted to practice law in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, am a member of several bar associations, and regularly attend continuing legal education programs to remain current on developments in criminal defense and family law.
