Kristen Assalone

Kristen Assalone is Attorney of Counsel with Frank S. Lombardi Law Associates, P.C., where her work centers on domestic relations and litigation. She represents clients in divorce, child custody disputes, and matters involving protection for victims of domestic abuse. Her experience in Rhode Island Family Court is a central part of her practice. She also handles litigation in other Rhode Island courts and has prior practice experience involving residential and commercial real estate conveyancing and criminal law.

Kristen earned a B.S. in pre-law studies and an associate degree in economics and finance from Johnson & Wales University, graduating magna cum laude. She later graduated cum laude from Suffolk University School of Law. Her academic background combines legal study with financial and economic training that can be useful in family disputes, property questions, and negotiated resolutions. That education supports careful review of financial information, legal rights, settlement options, and court procedures in contested domestic matters.

Kristen’s family law work includes child custody disputes, divorce matters, child support determinations, court mediation, emergency and expedited hearings, and settlement conferences. She has experience guiding matters from the early stages of litigation through final resolution. Her practice also extends to District and Superior Court litigation and previously included real estate conveyancing and criminal matters. This range of experience helps her address cases where family, property, financial, or litigation issues overlap and require coordinated legal planning.

Kristen Assalone is admitted to practice in Rhode Island state and federal courts. Her professional memberships have included the Rhode Island Bar Association, the Family Court Bench Bar Committee, the Rhode Island Bar Association Title Standards Committee, and the Edward P. Gallogly Family Law American Inn of Court. Her work is primarily grounded in family and domestic relations litigation, where she combines courtroom experience, mediation knowledge, and practical preparation to help clients address difficult legal and personal transitions.
